@[email protected]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.

"A much reported case is tt of #CentralGroup - a concessionaire tt redeveloped a major site at #SiamSquare. Within half a year, the #ScalaCinema, the largest standalone theatre left in SE Asia, was demolished.. the Chula executive supervising property management responded tt the #Scala Cinema lacked sufficient merit as #heritage.. lawmakers & government institutions hv a duty . to protect our heritage. The way to do it is clear: revise the outdated #heritagelaw" #Thailand

Some pix from another excellent event at @britishfilminstitute in their #scalacinema season. The guys on stage are Britain’s favourite Ilford born TV archivist, Dick Fiddy, and on the right John Wyver, ex-Time Out TV editor. These were two of the people responsible for the foundation of WTVA - Wider Television Access - back in the day it was hard to see old vintage tv. WTCA organised showings of tv classics like The Prisoner, Avengers, Saint, Danger Man at the Scala Cinema in London.

Throughly recommend the new documentary, Scala!!! about the legendary cult cinema that ran in London’s Kings Cross through the 80s. Great film by Ali Catterall and Jane Giles. Brought back a lot of very happy memories of discovering unusual films and archive tv there as a young teenager. #film #bfi #scalacinema #london #filmhistory #culture #tv
