"I was lucky enough to frequent the Scala in Kings Cross in the early 90s not long before it was closed down for illicitly screening A Clockwork Orange. It was everything you could want in a cinema. Slightly seedy (hardcore porn like Thundercrack and Cafe Flesh were regularly on the bill), a bit bohemian (chocolate cake) and located in London's decaying red light district. I saw the Exorcist for the first time on the big screen there and was impressed by the atmospheric sound design until I realised it was the rumblings of the Northern Line and not an irate Prince Of Darkness beneath my seat
My gleaming local multiplex is just too damn clean."
