Cinema in Kilkenny

Firetrap

Well, The Departed won some Oscars last night and, unless my memory's failing me (which it could be!), this film was never shown in the cinema in Kilkenny.

It's ridiculous how many good films never get shown here, though if you're a teenager wanting to watch poxy tat starring Rob Schneider or the Wayans brothers, you can bet their cinematic masterpieces will make it to Kilkenny.

I'm sure once the bigger cinema opens it'll be fine

Completely agree.
BTW we are/were meant to get a new Multiplex cinema in the new Citymart development (www.citymart.ie) but this has been dropped from Phase I of the plans thanks to the nanny-state interference of Kilkenny Borough Council:rolleyes: . They said that the Phase I was basically too big/high and that it had to be scaled back. And this from the same local authority that allowed in conjunction with KK county council those flats on the Callan road entrance that now block the nice view we once had of Mary's Cathedral.
I hope the plans for the second cinema aren't dropped from the citymart plan now altogether.I'm sure the present cineam was keen to hold it's monopoly and as such more than likely maderepresentations to the Council over same.

The same Borough Council that has blocked retailers like Aldi etc setting up here at every attempt.

Business as usual at the council then :rolleyes:

Tehy make a balls of everything they do. they should all be fired and hire us instead. *gets coat*

...but only if they pay us well

Kilkenny's only big enough to sustain one cinema anyway. Other towns of a similar size have just the one cineplex. The only difference is, most of them have six or eight screens and offer a much better choice of films.

It's not the cinema's fault in fairness, it's what their given. I know for a fact
that The Departed and other films were fought for tooth and nail, but again
lost out to bigger Ciniplexs.

No,I don't work there but i know the staff well.:)

I'm sure when the new1 opens they will have a better chance of getting films

Weren't most of the cinemas in Ireland supposed to have switched to digital projection about 2 years ago? That'd make this crap redundant.
