Babes In Arms - Lighthouse Cinema

OutlawPete

The Lighthouse Cinema has a fortnightly baby-friendly screenings of classic movies.

The events are called Babes In Arms.

Next Wednesday, May 5 it continues with a screening of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes at 11.00am.



Baby-friendly means that lights will be a little higher and sound a little lower than usual, and you'll be able to watch a film in peace, knowing that if your little ones cry, well no one will mind!

Now, I have always wanted to see this movie on the big screen but unfortunately I don't have a baby.

What I was hoping for is that someone would lend me theirs for Wednesday morning?

I can pick it up at say 10am and should have it back for 1ish, all going well.

I am not great with kids now but, I'm sure if you warm up a bottle or something, I should be grand.

Cool idea. Timing's not great for me but it seems like a good idea none the less.

Also, I don't have a baby car seat, would a back pack do?

Thanks in advance.

Haha brilliant, rent a baby. If I had one to lend you I probably would. Are they showing 'The hand that rocks the cradle' anytime soon;).

Ps beside the jokiness. That is the kind of thinking outside the box stuff that this country needs. What a great idea for parents in this respect. I have seen a few independant cinemas opening up recently as well, it is all good. That Celtic tiger ****e is behind us now hopefully.

There were only three women with babies and they slept throughout so it was grand.

when i read this my first thought was "but sure the babies wouldnt be able to follow the film"

i can be a bit slow sometimes!

haha, that was my same reaction as well. But it dawned on me slowly as well.

Cinema seems to be opening up a bit more since the economy went down. People seem to appreciate it a bit more. In cork a couple of independant places have opened up and they look interesting.

I have been saying to freinds for ages that there is a market for older movies and independant cinemas. The idea of having one that actually caters for parents with small kids is innovative. I hope this idea grows, it is very interesting. Plus it could lead to more ventures that combine parents and children of a very young age to be able to just get out and do stuff that they wouldn't normally be able to do.
