"I came for the waters."
A local theater is showing a different classic film for one showing each week. Last week was Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Tonight was Casablanca.
When I arrived at the theatre, I asked a manager if there were thoughts of continuing beyond the four sheduled films. He told me that they would like to and that based o nthe success of last week's film, he thought they might be able to do so.
Last week there were probably about 20 or so people in the theatre. Yes, they only paid $5 each, but most but snacks. Plus, it is 20 people who probably wouldn't be in the theater otherwise on a Tuesday night [even incredibly popular first run new release films seem dead on Tuesdays]
Tonight, 182 people saw Casablanca. The theater had to stop selling tickets.
I take this as a good sign.
I just have to remember to be really early for the Adventures of Robin Hood next week.
