The Thousands

These cold and rainy days make it all too easy to fall in love with your couch. Such a warm embrace and so familiar! But also sadly lacking in conversation skills and a heart beat, which for us (call us traditional) are still compulsory in a partner.

If you do happen to have fallen victim to the charms of your chaise or chesterfield, we won’t presume to judge, but we might suggest that you work towards a healthy, independent relationship by putting aside Wednesday night for yourself.**Leave your overstuffed object of affection behind and join the kids at Bill & George Studios for hot soup, mulled wine and dynamite films. It’s such a cosy and inviting idea that you should barely suffer any separation anxiety at all. They even encourage snuggling under a blanky!

This week’s film is THE THING, John Carpenter’s classic remake, full of claustrophobia, paranoia, one of the most amazing monsters in cinema and Kurt Russell. Future scheduled radness includes MEET THE FEEBLES (Peter Jackson’s totally messed up muppet show), ZATOICHI, and LET THE RIGHT ONE IN.
