the Bear SG

back from lunch..

any grand old cinemas in brisbane?

there's one in Melbourne.. the Astor..

nice.. seats are made of wood, the whole place reminds you of an era gone by.. before the cineplexes...

their convenieces are called "cloakrooms" and the whole ambience is totally different Smile

one of the places i really miss... when i first went there, reminded me of the old Capitol cinema... where there were Circle seats and stuff Smile

shutthehellup SG

back from lunch..my marketing manager treated me to one of my company’s Latin American restaurants..had rodizio…very full…burp

M SG

no cushion? Surprised

yeah, miss capitol, like it so much i'd even go watch alone.
the tickets were yellow or green paper and marked on sale. old creaky chairs and green light on gargoyles by the flanks of the screen.. or was i imagining?

the Bear SG

have.. but the rest of it was wood... they had these seats for couples too Smile

their tickets were the old type of "automated" ones where it goes "crack!" and tickets from those stiff paper rolls appear Smile

i sat thru 3 movies in a row in there once.. a trilogy shown all together Smile Blue, White and Red.... the Three Colours trilogy Smile

pretty wonderful Smile

sillyme SG

i prefer lido.. i remember it fondly.. and my first time watching movie alone was at lido.. the last emperor..
it has the cinema feel and the grandness.. very nice Smile

M SG

wah yall lunches mostly pretty good stuff hor...
what's rodizio?

M SG

wah movie triathalon.. i'd need a new tailbone thereafter.
once sat through 7 movies, at home that is, during LaserDisc days, full rot..

the Bear SG

it wasn't that bad.. they were the days before my slipped disc Smile

intermission in between movies, we went to buy yummy choc-ice to eat Smile nice to eat Smile

talking about laserdiscs, does anyone know of any place that translates laserdiscs to DVDs?

the Bear SG

yah.. what's rodizio?

always on the lookout for nice things to eat Smile

choco B SG

You know what’s nice to eat. Tiramisu at Esmirada. Beguilingly near to Delphi. It’s calling to me already.

M SG

Esmirada used to be at the corner of peranakan place yeah?

M SG

ditto. Laughing

i think there's a shop (in business for the past 14 years already) near ikea that does these.. used to rent LDs, then VCDs, then DVDs from em.. if you want the details I'll scoop on the address for ya

choco B SG

That's right. Although I only been to the outlet @ Orchard Hotel. Have you been there?

the Bear SG

M SG

No i haven't, just hear about it after my friend brings his date there.. now that i recall, i get more feedback bout the food than the date.. Confused
