Whatever happened to Fay Wray?

I only realised the other night that the Classic Cinema is gone and apparently has been for ages. The sense of sadness quickly turned to relief when I heard about this. The building would have crumbled to the ground upon release. I genuinely feel enraged.Why do they need a new Rocky? I'm completely dumbfounded as to what audience they're trying to appeal to. They can't even use the excuse of people not wanting to read when they go to the cinema for this one.
The entire appeal is going to be lost. Part of it's charm was that it looked like it was made on 20 euro by a load of people who were in love with eachother.Apparently theres going to be some new songs too. Riff and Magenta will probably sail off in a fucking Lexus.

I urge people to sign the petition (that will do nothing) and burn any cinema to the ground that tries to show it*.











*To be fair I don't really see any other cinema other than The Classic pulling this off (maybe The Smella Stella) Imagine the dry shites over at cineworld openly encouraging you to drink and dance during a film.

when the classic closed, they moved that midnight showing to the dara cinema in naas. great entertainment for the local bush-lushin' goth kids.

sadly the dara's now closed too.

It is sad Rosie.

I'd say the streets of Naas were awash with eyeliner and fishnets the day they closed it down.
