Just watched your video on the Scala bundle, so envious! The Scala was my local 84-89 but I didn't appreciate it enough, only started going my last year there (e.g. Troma all-nighter)
I got thinking of the Scala Cinema cuz last night I watched The Ladykillers (1955) (shown in #SundayFunnies #WatchParty a few weeks ago but I missed it) & started recognizing buildings.
"Is that St Pancras station?" then a bit later "F%&k me, that's the Scala!" That distinctive turret on top.
It's weekly video time.

What distinguishes Thailand from many other countries is our rich diversity in culture and history. Yet slowly but surely, the distinctive heritage of our local communities is disappearing. Often property developers destroy historic buildings in pursuit of profit. But why do their rights always seem to come first? Why do we have to beg to protect our cultural assets?
I went along to the Lighthouse Cinema to see Scala!!! the documentary about the London Scala Cinema that ran up to the early 90s. Fascinating stuff. A brief insight into counterculture in the UK through the 80s. Even though I'm vanilla as fuck and wouldnt have fit in, I love that places like this existed and it's a shame that there's no room for them anymore.
An illegal screening of A Clockwork Orange led to its downfall. Mad that you can walk into a Tower Records & buy it now.
