Awful films at The Belmont this week - RED RIDING HOOD & SUCKER PUNCH"Brilliant sales technique this lad.I approve of this and I'm also very pleased that the Belmont is going to remain. They could maybe do with showing more of the great films though, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ca_gere Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Great film.Having an opinion on the films getting shown is fine. It's all the other moaning that I'm not feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Zero Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Having an opinion on a film = good.Having a negative opinion on a film, posting said opinion on a networking forum so possibly putting people off about a 3rd of your current film offerings = fuck-wittery of the highest order.Seriously, would never wish unemployment on anyone but this guy seems to have no clue. At all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Zero Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 From same Twitter feed - "Oh the irony. On the same day the future of The Belmont looks secure, we have zero customers in screens 2 & 3 over 4 shows. Why do I bother?"My word....

Skubbs Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 What an arse, it's as if he likes the idea of being a manager, but in reality he hates his job. His attitude puts me off using the cinema. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOX Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 I think it's mostly banter - he obviously loves films (he runs or contributes to three or four blogs about them, all updated fairly regularly) but at times like this, with the cinema losing customers rapidly, it's time to take off the backwards cool cap and put your PR hat on.

Monster Zero Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 How ironic if the 2 screens that were empty were the ones showing the films he said were shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 First thing I'd do would be sack the manager.I hope they've got a better business plan than what they've done in the past otherwise it's just a waste of money again. I hope it's not just a case of "Oh shit, there's no-one else to run it, let's accept third rate and hope people come".Sounds like you got your wish:Vacancy at the Belmont | News | Belmont Picturehouse | AberdeenWe have a vacancy for the General Manager position at the Belmont Picturehouse in Aberdeen.The role includes taking overall responsibility for the day to day management of The Belmont and to provide leadership to maximise the cinemas growth and profitability.

Scootray Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Aye, just caught that on FB. I asked if he got sacked but apparently not. He's expecting to get a job at a picturehouse in London.EDIT: He wouldn't if I was the boss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster Zero Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 The popcorn counter in Vue or Cineworld would probably benefit his management experience. Maybe the DVD counter in Asda. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
