Aylesbury News, Mum wants body image documentary shown at Aylesbury's Odeon.
A mum from Aylesbury is trying to get an Australian crowd funded documentary shown at Aylesbury's Odeon cinema.
Embrace is a film exploring body image in women and the culture of Photoshop, objectification and sexualisation of women and girls in the media.
It's already been shown in the US, Australia & NZ and is was screened in London on 16th January.Aylesbury mum Donna Wan wants it shown because she feels it presents an important message. She said:
It delivers an important message that women should embrace themselves.. and that message should be shared with everyone from all walks of life.
The crowd funded documentary relies on people to host the screening, for which Donna has volunteered to have it shown at Aylesbury's Odeon.
She needs to reserve at least 64 tickets by this Saturday for the screening on 6th February to go ahead.
You can reserve tickets online.
Donna gets a small commission for selling tickets but has said she will donate this money to charity.

The Reg Maxwell Pool (Aylesbury) Experience - Part 2
In 2007 I visited the disused Reg Maxwell swimming pool and gym in Aylesbury, Bucks. I was shocked by what I found. Some six years after closing, the power was on, the lights blazing, the ventilation fans spinning... So this is where my Council Tax goes!
Aylesbury News, Broad praise for aqua park plan in Aylesbury.
Broad praise for aqua park plan.
Grand plans to transform land between Bierton and Watermead into a huge leisure facility have been broadly welcomed.
Last week revealed that councillor Phil Gomm was leading a big to create a huge facility at the site, which would create more than 10,000 jobs.
The facility would include a state-of-the-art aqua leisure park, hotels, a golf course and new home for Aylesbury United Football Club.
And this week readers took to our website to have their say about the plans, as well as Bucks County Council leader Martin Tett who shared his view.
Mr Tett said: “Planning is obviously a decision for the district council, but I think it is an entertaining idea.
“Whether it is in the right place though, that remains to be seen.
“ Transport links there are not good and getting people too and from the site might cause problems.
“I think bringing entertainments and things to do in Aylesbury is fundamental, to provide more jobs, and make Aylesbury a more exciting place for people to come to.
“But, whether this is the right proposal is a moot point.”
Bucks Herald readers also had some positive words for the scheme, which proposers TSG say would be delivered over 10 years.
Watermead Swan said: “I live next to this land and welcome it as a breath of fresh air.
“Either way AVDC will build on it so this at least benefits the families of the county.
“Good luck Councillor Gomm in backing this project!”
Matt1980 added: “I think this is brilliant news. By the sounds of things this land is going to be built on anyway.
“So we can have tons more houses to add to the thousands going up all over town or we can have some leisure facilities (at last).
“Houses will equal more residents to add to the already huge increase with no more jobs. More strain on schools, dentists, doctors and the hospital etc.
“Leisure facilities will finally give the people of Aylesbury something to do. You compare our town to the surrounding towns such as MK, Watford, Reading and High Wycombe. Aylesbury has so little to offer in comparison.
“All I have heard for years and years is, that there is nothing to do in this town.
“I for one am glad and hopeful that this may change, and In a positive way that will provide jobs, entertainment and facilities for residents of the area to get involved in sports and fitness.”

Cinema idents and show format
If you went to the cinema in the UK in the 70s, 80s and 90s (especally at a Rank Odeon) chances are you would have seen a show presented the way it's demonstrated here, from the Welcome day-titles to the Sales trailers right up to the Goodbye filmlets.
They knew how to put on a show in those days!
Now it's all dull and bland with no classy idents, no ice cream girls, no stage lighting and no screen curtains. At least not in the multiplexes.
This collection is missing three important idents from the era that couldn't be sourced in full. - The 1981 lick me, bite me King Cone commercial, the 1985 Lyon's Main Get it! sales trailer and the 1998 Ridley Scott Odeon 24hrs a day ident (substituted here with the very last Rank produced Odeon salsa ident from 2000).
If I ever find these missing three I'll repost and delete the salsa ident, as it doen't really belong here.
Enjoy the nostalgia, and weep for the loss of showmanship at cinemas in the 21st century.
