So I went to The Interpreter yesterday (a very, very good film but could have been one of the greats) and I had a choice of where to see it: The Savoy or UGC. Even though UGC had it on at a better time i found myself rushing to get to the Savoy. And when I got there I realised why.
The Savoy is the last of the "old" cinemas left in town apart from maybe the screen. The Carlton, Adelphi, Ambassador, even the Cameo are gone in the name of progress but the good old Savoy remains. Why do I love it so much? Maybe it's the massive Cinema 1. Maybe its the rich, old Velvet seats. But it's not. It's the fact that the ushers wear tuxedos. I feel so important when the usher is wearing a tux. Sure beats the hell out of some spotty kid in a t-shirt up in motherfucking UGC. I guess I wanna feel important, and the Savoy allows me to feel that way.
