These steps to nowhere are all that's left of the Christchurch cinema where I first saw Reservoir Dogs on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, and it fucking changed my life, man. I saw some other films there over the years, including Man Bites Dog and other films that didn't have a canine in the title, but nothing hit like that first dose.
The cinema was torn down after the 2011 earthquake and is just a memory now - the steps are only still there because they house some kind of critical electrical infrastructure - but there is still a moment in the eternity of space/time when I'm hoofing it up those steps with my best ever mates, about to see my first ever Tarantino.
