Gone? GONE?! I think I’m going to cry!
Though I didn’t discover this place until it became a multiplex, it still had that large screen auditorium. I went to see all three of the “Lord of the Rings” movies there. They opened for those three years right around my birthday so that was part of my birthday present. I took my cousin there to see the Harry Potter movies. Where do we go now? (Honestly, I can’t think of where there are big screens any longer. Is the main auditorium at Grauman’s Chinese still fairly large? It’s been years since I’ve been there.)
Movies are special to me. It seems like they should be an experience in and of themselves. I love going at night to large screen theatres. Somehow leaving a theatre at nighttime lets me bask in the movie magic for just a little while longer.
I hate multiplexes with there little non-descipt rooms. I once went to one where the theatre I went into wasn’t much larger than my combo living room/dining area. And the screen was no larger than a big screen TV. No joke. I can’t remember what film that was now. If I want to watch a film on a TV screen I’ll stay home.
