It seems my book disucssion is thin on the ground, but talking about Winter's Bone got me thinking about independent cinema and how amazing and valuable they are.
I saw Winter's Bone at the Pheonix Cinema in Leicester, which although I admit doesnt have the most comfortable seats in the world, shows a larger variety of films than the local Odeon or 'Cinema de Lux'. Pheonix offers cheap prices (was it about £2.50 for a student ticket? Why arnt they all like that?) as well as showing films which arnt just throwaway Hollywood junk, allowing access to independent or foriegn films.
Similarly, I have visited the tiny cinema in Keswick, Cumbria, which even has usherettes before the main feature to dish out food. Just like the old days. And is real cheap as well.
I wish all cinemas were like this!!!!!!!!!!
