For Skjam's prompt.

Stranded World and Autumn, though I don't know just when. Stranded has a landing page - here (or on LJ)

Commenters: 6The little town had one of those old-style movie theaters with one viewing room, the sort that showed whatever blockbuster they could get 3 months late and stayed alive mainly because the nearest real theatre was

They've been showing the same movie for three years? And no-one thought that was odd?

[ankewehner]

The local cinema here has one day a week on which they show some old (and usually obscure) movie, so I assumed they just dug that one out for a while recently, rather than showing it for 3 years.

[rix_scaedu]

That would be less noticeably odd.

I'd thought it was the same movie every Saturday for 3 years, but it could be either.

This is a strangely beautiful story and very haunting.

Thank you.

[skjam]

Thanks very much!

I made this suggestion because the situation happened to me once; the movie was "Urban Legend: The Final Cut" and I forget exactly why I was so desperate to see a movie that day. Anyhow, about halfway through the movie I became aware that there was something in the theater with me, moving around. Turned out to be mice looking for dropped popcorn, but for a few minutes there, the movie was much scarier.

Maan.

I have never gone to a movie alone... and the ones I've gone to with just one other person in the theatre generally sucked pretty bad.

But those old theatres are often really creepy.

Wow, that is haunting.

And now I don't want to watch horror movies. I'm going to have to tell the Angel about that. He likes them...

Also, Autumn rocks.

I don't like horror movies anyway!!
