Retroblogging: March trip – LA movie theatres

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!

Agreed. I would spend more time in movie theatres like this too :)

makes me nostalgic for the old Eglinton cinema, which is now a party room for rich people. So wrong. (What did you think of Watchmen? Can’t imagine it was your “thing”.)

Действительно удивили и даже порадовали :) Никогда не поверил бы, что даже такое бывает :)
