Retroblogging: March trip – LA movie theatres

April 21st, 2009

One of the things I loved best about LA (aside from the tendency of Los Angelenos to say charming things like “oh, all the best artists come from Canada!” and the beautiful way they have of valuing creative labour in general) is that despite the bigness of LA, the city still believes in and uses small movie theatres.

I don’t know what theatre this was, but it only had one screen, and we saw Watchmen on it, and the building itself made me very happy.

This is exactly what movie theatres look like in my imagination, and you can be sure I would spend more time in them if they all looked like this in reality.

Now hold on to your hats, because tomorrow we wake up in Niagara Falls. Brrr!
