How about just a little tiny shred of thoughtfulness occasionally rather than blind dumb “fun” 100% of the time?

And the homeless that sleep in front of its doors every night.

i saw it in the little roxie though as i recall and i’m not too hyped on that thing’s setup. a little too much like watching a movie in someone’s garage.

How about a whole week of Star Trek movies, or a Back to the Future triple feature night?

I’m sad, why can’t we have nice things?

Just neighborhood history. But the small Mission theaters are a dying breed.

We were just there, watching a great documentary about a French filmmaker. The staff was charming, and barely competent — as always. But that’s part of the charm. Is there a problem we need to know about?
