poppyh24 Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 I enjoyed visiting cinemarmegedon last year, although it was mucho quiet on the Friday night ... Is it gonna be there next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon_Fields Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 There's no news on it for 2019, but I'd be surprised if they dumped it after just one year, I think I'm right in saying many of the screenings were sold out? A Star Is Born must be one on show I'd expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was sold out last year, but loads didn't show when we were there for American Grafitti, felt a bit sad and empty for it... Hope this year they think of a way to get peeps all the way over to the west for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawdusty surfer Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 It will be there in 2019. Far too much invested in it for a one off and most of the cars are in storage on huge racks in a barn up by the recycling centre on the farm.

zico martin Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Loved the look and idea of this place but the fact you need to book a slot in advance makes it unworkable to me. Perhaps if it went on all night I could imagine us watching a film/ having a snooze after the party finishes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithy Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Hopefully booking slots will be abandoned this year. From anecdotal evidence, seems lots of people booked a ticket and then no showed. I suppose the other side of that coin is leaving it open means you might get people dipping in and out for 15 minutes for 'the experience' which would ruin it for people who want to watch a film and constantly have to put up with people coming in and out. Perhaps half available to book and half available on the day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps half available to book and half available on the day? Fingers crossed they do that, we were camped so close and never bothered going because of the booking system. I find it hard enough to make it to my roast dinner at the Rocket Diner that I pay in advance for. Made it to one and missed the one i booked in 2016. (got the option of a helicopter ride around the festival site so no regrets ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalifire Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 I didn't visit last year, and can't say I'm chomping at the bit for next year, either. It's a combination of being a bit out of the way, and the feeling that I didn't go to Glastonbury to watch a film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no intention of watching a full film at Glastonbury and I'm certainly not going to book to sit in a car for a bit. I might check it out for 30 mins if I'm in the area.

I thought similar but released that I dont go to Glastonbury to dance to some cheesy music coming from a speaker on a food stand but it kind of just happens ..... so yes it would be better with an element of spontaneity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Lawn Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 I loved it, saw two films there and didn't book for either one, just sat on the grass, it was completely dry obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be better over by the theatre / Pilton Palais side but no room over there for it ... Was a heck of a trek over to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sime Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 I went up there during an early afternoon Sunday ramble around the whole site (I do that every year). I loved all the cool old cars. There was a cinema tent playing an old black and white film which was good to watch for a bit while having a sit down. Much later, around 2am I went back and snuck into a car and sat in the driving seat while old cartoons and then Apocalypse Now played. At one point a random young lady popped into the back seat. We had a really good chat and swapped snacks while half watching the movie. It was a really great little Glastonbury moment. Hope it returns.

HeyPorter Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 I always thought it was Cineracarmageddon which is even worse to look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new Bumblebee film could be a good one to show this year if we're going for a car theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeHC Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Was a great little area! Only went during the day when nothing was showing. Security was a bit much though- managed a photo in a car before they made us get out. Nothing else was happening so no idea what the issue with sitting in the cars was..
