  1. I'm gonna guess that with the proliferation of smart phones with web browsers, more people were accessing the main site rather than the mobile platform. Therefore, one can deduce that it got shut down as it was costing money and not being used enough to make it worthwhile.

  2. What are the chances that anyone from the council or whatever is going to look at the cinema's Facebook page and think "WHAT HAVE WE DONE?!?!"? Pretty slim I bet.

    If they have grievances, then they should transmit this via their personal Facebook accounts as ca_gere mentioned. The council may not have operated with much decorum, but to lower oneself to that level is fairly playground.

  3. One of the worst sentences I've ever read.

    I can understand the cinema employees frustration at being [possibly/potentially] made unemployed, but to convey this via silly Facebook status updates paints them in a bad light. Instead of wasting their time with that, they should be chapping on some office doors and asking for an explanation of certain decisions.

  4. What happened to the jazz band that played in Kef on a Thursday night? Either the band or the night were called Precipeace, but they were pretty great.

    If you got those guys and a couple of reggae DJs, then it could become my favourite place in Aberdeen. That is, if it were to actually happen.

  5. I'd rather every cyclist in Aberdeen skipped red lights if it stopped grown men wobbling all over the pavements on their mountain bikes.

    I'd rather they paid attention to the rules of the road. The amount of times I've nearly been knocked over because some stupid fuck hasn't paid attention to the traffic signals or not used LIGHTS/REFLECTORS WHEN IT'S DARK is more fingers that I have.

    I respect cyclists as a pedestrian but when they flout the rules then I believe I'm allowed to murder them to death?

  6. But due to personal taste I still wouldn't pay it.

    Same here, although I think it has great potential and the calibre of the line up is incredible for a first time event. Should more bands that I like be added to the bill, then it may encourage me to attend. I really hope it's a success and it's encouraging and exciting to see something like this happen in Aberdeen. I'd like to add to the plaudits the organisers have already received.

  7. Nothing can beat the "HOT PIES KARAOKE" sign at The East Neuk. Always wondered how they set that up. I'd go in but I'm no good at singing, although the temptation of singing whilst eating hot pies may yet sway me.

  8. Friday Night Creature Features like they used to show on Channel 4 after The Word. I must have seen every ropey claymation, b&w, subtitled Godzilla movie in existence during the 90s.

    Yes!

    Fantastic idea. Make the tickets 2/3 and I'd definitely go. Not sure much other people would though.

    I think much of the programming is outwith the Belmont's hands, rather it is the parent company that handles it. It's not really an independent cinema, but I think if it was it's be doing a hell of a lot better.
