I watched a video of Musk doing a TED talk 11 years ago compare it to now and it's night and day, I couldn't imagine him being so self-controlled and articulate today.

I'm talking about the Prince Charles, near Chinatown, one of London's few (and fast disappearing) independent venues. It's a cinema that mainly shows classic movies, independent stuff and a lot of foreign films. You'll get The Thing, Oldboy and The Room all showing in a single day. I've got a million fond memories going there, getting drunk with my friends in the park nearby, eating American-sized portions of spicy food in this incredible Cantonese chicken place, then laughing our asses off at whatever so-bad-it's good flick they're screening late. It's sappy, but whenever I'm feeling depressed and anxious and I just need to get out of the house, it's always there for me.
But it's not going to exist for much longer. The property's owners, Criterion Capital, are trying to force through a break clause in the lease, giving them six months to retool the property how they see fit. If you don't know who Criterion Capital are, they're owned by Asif Aziz, London's apex landlord-c*m-parasite who has seemingly dedicated his life to destroying every business with any heart and soul in the city. He gutted the Trocadero to build a featureless mosque, shuttered the Junction Jazz bar by refusing to renew its lease, and now he's preying on this. Once Criterion gets their break clause, they'll almost certainly scrap the cinema and replace it with either housing for millionaire speculators or some generic, Brewdog Gastropub-butt atrocity that'll charge twelve pounds for a pint. It's not even that the cinema isn't profitable, it is, the developers just want to squeeze as much blood from this stone as possible, even at the cost of the city's entire identity. There's a petition to save it and I've written to the local MP, but I doubt that'll do much. Whole situation is just a bit shit tbh
Here's the petition if you want to sign it: https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/save-the-prince-charles-cinema
