I&#39;m old enough to have gone to the KB-Silver theater. Taking the Ride-On bus there while I was in Junior High was a nice bit of independence.simonatorhttp://simonator.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-47513347510497390422009-11-09T12:17:45.792-05:002009-11-09T12:17:45.792-05:00I used to go to the first showing of movies on Saturday morning. Fairly regularly, a group of special needs folks would be brought to the movies. When it was folks with Down&#39;s and similar conditions, it was kind of sweet. I had some nice conversations in the ticket and concession lines. Occasionally, though, people with more significant conditions would come in. You&#39;d be trying to watch a movie and a group of people would be there yelling, thrashing around, and doing things entirely independent of what was going on on screen. I swear their caregivers must have just been parking them there because these folks weren&#39;t following the movie even vaguely.Terry in Silver Springhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14327980975408524384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-38170814781118110732009-11-06T09:21:00.611-05:002009-11-06T09:21:00.611-05:00Duh, ignore that last comment... meant to post on my own blog!<br /><br />As far as the popcorn machine goes, I want it for my basement.Sligohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18201229508558436514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-70825736591354757312009-11-05T17:41:29.315-05:002009-11-05T17:41:29.315-05:00Ask Petrie-Ross, the owners. Don&#39;t know if they were joking or not, but they made it sound like I could take that popcorn machine home <i>tonight</i> if I wanted.Dan Reedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10594208011755406956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-69824569885804922542009-11-05T17:22:43.709-05:002009-11-05T17:22:43.709-05:00I just cant believe they didn&#39;t take out the soda and popcorn machines.

One day I&#39;ll re-enact it for folks when the theater re-opens.WashingtonGardenerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03950523974356540767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-88501372013327872582009-11-05T17:05:37.471-05:002009-11-05T17:05:37.471-05:00So WHY don&#39;t let they let it be used for AFI Silverdocs each June? (The Silverdocs folks have been BEGGING THEM to use those screens) Or for weekend church services? At least use it for something in the meantime.WashingtonGardenerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03950523974356540767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-49284577525485323302009-11-05T14:39:19.199-05:002009-11-05T14:39:19.199-05:00I have not-so-fond memories of cleaning that very popcorn machine at 1AM on Sunday mornings. Unfortunately, one of my high school jobs was working the concession stand at the Shitty Place 10.<br /><br />Incidentally, Baby Geniuses <a href="http://www.metacritic.com/video/lowscores.shtml" rel="nofollow">is one of the worst movies of all time</a>, and that&#39;s saying a lot.Sligohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18201229508558436514noreply@blogger.com
