There are many reasons NOT to go to the movie house these days... Home Theatres, gas prices, crowds, unruly patrons of ALL ages, sticky floors. Yes there are myriad reasons to stay home and calcify. However I come not to bury the ole Flicker Farm but to praise it! Oh how do I love thee my local art house movie theatre (www.Spectrum8.com) let me count the ways!
1. Locally owned and operated. The owners are my friends and have actually shown movies I've suggested.
2. They have film festivals and guest speakers.
3. They show movies that should be seen on the BIG screen but aren't shown at the mall.
4. The clientel is much older and "generally more mature".
5. They have employees in the parking lot protecting your car.
6. You can get real cake there.
7. You can git REAL Coffee there...
8. You can git fresh popped popcorn with REAL, HEART CLOGGIN', CHOLESTEROL LADEN, VEIN POPPIN' BUTTER! Nothin' say lovin' like watching whole quarters of butter melting in the vat.
9. It's a converted movie house that's been there since the 50's and has saved the neighborhood from complete degredation and possible destruction.
For these reasons and many others... I drag muh butt to the movies. C'mon, tonights Friday, go out... see a flick.
