When Star Trek (2k9) need 4 screens with the first reel starting every 15 minutes, and other people going to see movies like revenge of the sith or pokemon, you end up using the lobby as a meeting place when the movie is over. of course, in the 50/60s, there was some movies that clocked in at the 3-4 hour run time also. (a recent example was the movie “Gettysburg” which ran nearly 4 hours.)
My grandmother’s … My grandmother’s town their “downtown” is still the same as the 50’s and 60’s so it’s like you’re going back in time but everyone is driving current cars and wearing current fashion haha. Some of the house’s are the same and churches and stuff. It’s so weird. They even have their old theater still the same as back then lol. I doubt they have the same experience though but they’ll have on the sign like two movies that they’re playing haha. It’s really cute.
I agree, Pinky. … I agree, Pinky. Heck, I’d pay the nearly $10 a ticket for comfortable seats, clean floors, and an usherette to show me to my seat. Plus a double-feature of old movies, cartoons, newsreels, etc.
It would be neat if … It would be neat if every town could have one theater that’s old fashioned and did things like that with intermission and all. And drive-in’s too. I think there’s one around where I live. My father mentioned it once.
Intermission … Intermission cartoon clips like this added to the experience, although I do remember on occassion they wouldn’t be as fully stocked as the ads promised. My closest drive in growing up was the LANSING, and, I can remember once seeing a gigantic ice cream bar up on the screen. You guessed it, they didn’t sell ice cream at the snack bar. Another drive in that I worked at it’s last nine seasons, occassionally ran a reel featuring cigarettes we no longer sold. Finally we sliced it out.
Dunes, they don’t … Dunes, they don’t do intermissions anymore because there’s no such thing as a double feature anymore. Or cartoons and newsreels. Move ‘em in and out as fast as you can. That’s the movie system today.
Would 3 minutes be … Would 3 minutes be enough to really be able to serve everyone? Or maybe, when the show started again, it would be previews and the cartoon and that stuff. You still had time to stand in line for popcorn and other treats before that start of “Our Feature Presentation”.
Heh-heh,I remember … Heh-heh,I remember seeing this off a vintage VHS cassette on weird cartoons. I wonder why they don’t do intermissions anymore at movie theaters?
