Tonight I'm going to the local $3 movie theater to see Cinema Paradiso.
Yes, we actually have a $3 jernt. They usually play family fare that would probably kill me if I were to be exposed to it, but tonight's film is part of a weekly or bi-weekly classics series. Hopefully there will be many more such delights to come.
Back when they were a $2 house (ah, those were the good old days) they were functioning nicely as a second-run place. That was also back when they were still running 35mm. Sadly, when they renovated and converted to digital, they went to almost all family sh fare, some of which looks to me like it really scrapes the bottom. "Sad!"
