I haven't been to the "Endless Mountain" theaters in about 8 years or so. It used to be a United Artists chain and it became outdated and pretty crappy by the mid 90s. Don't really know if they've made any updates, but not really interested in finding out. I see all my flicks at the Cinemark now.

It's an independant theater now, and they do these mondo movie night things monthly.

The show is a great time, but if you want to miss it, that's really your choice.

There's a terrific local theatre that has monthly screenings of old horror and SF flicks. Not too long ago, they dug up a beautiful 35mm print of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre...with Spanish subtitles. Just watching the film itself on the big screen was amazing, but the subtitles just made it that much better. Ah, a true classic of the cinema.

I don't think I'd be into all that extra stuff, but I'd love to go just to see the original on the big screen. Scranton's sort of far for me, though...

I love theaters like that.

www.timescinema.com if you are ever in Milwaukee..

and for the record, Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original) was the only movie recently to ever actually weird me out.. that is one fucked up movie...
 
Broke ass Cleveland!

Seeing The 36 Chambers of Shaolin and Master of the Flying Guillotine on the big screen = ROX!

They also have great foreign horror film festivals. Except for those poo poo Japanese horror movies. <borat> I WILL CRUSH THEM! </borat>

They told some great stories and we all watched TCM together. It was awesome.
