Saw the Exorcist and the Omen as a double bill as a one off, late night special at the Cinema on Lime St, was it the Scala ?

Brilliant night, as they served ale and loads of the students had Halloween costumes on. Really good fun.

Awesome, the cinema that is empty now? ABC? Or the Futurist that got pulled for a bland shop?

It was the one on the corner facing McHales Shamrock.

Lovely listed Art Deco building, that they deliberately let go to ruin so that it became dangerous and they could pull it down ?

Watched a few in the past day or two - Summer of '85 was an excellent coming-of-age tale set in Normandy; Hubie Halloween was, well, you know Sandler and the usual gang doing their thing, but we chose it as our family Halloween film, and it had a few moments; The Craft Legacy was pretty poor, although I like Michelle Monaghan, plus David Duchovny is usually OK - I enjoyed the first one back in the 90s, but this one was mediocre at best.

Just looked it up, it is the Futurist.

The development that’s there now is dreadful.

I saw The Exorcist at The Woolton, it made a change from Kung-fu films and The Confessions of........which were our staple diet at the time.

Did they have St Johns ambulance and priests there? I remember reading there was people fainting at viewing of it

Not in Woolton, I remember all those stories in the echo.

"The ghosts of war" has all the ingredients but doesnt quite hit the mark,US soldiers camped up in a large house in France,but theres more to the story than that,passes 90 minutes but you end up feeling it could have been much better

My wife enjoyed this. I thought it was a bit Bill Oddie stupid ....

I saw that film in the Woolton and when I saw it there were actual medical staff there although most people in there were actually laughing and taking the piss out of the film. But maybe some of it may have been false bravado.
