Mind you, there were like 40 or so of us waiting to get in, and it was a 400 seat theater. Essentially everyone was bum rushing the side door and there was no “line” of people waiting to get inside. But in my mind, I couldn’t help but think to myself how freaking uptight and high-strung people are.Īdding fuel to the fire, when one of the staff finally came outside to announce that they were ready to seat everyone, another jerk went off because there was no inherent “order” to how they were letting people it. I was out the door before I could hear the rest of what he said. “Yes I WOULD mind waiting ten minutes,” the guy said, in a “I’m more important than everyone else here” tone. Plus, we have concessions that need to be addressed, and it just becomes……” “The thing is sir, we have a small lobby and it gets crowded as one showing is exiting and others are waiting to get in. It was a gorgeous night out anyways, and I had a book with me to read, so I could easily pass the time.Īnother (older, presumably uppity a-hole) gentleman was right behind me, and the tenant mentioned the same thing to him (that he’d have to wait a few minutes……outside), and the guy went off. Last week I showed up a little early and was told by the guy accepting tickets to wait outside for a few minutes while the theater was clearing out and so that they could clean.
Anything earlier and the lobby just becomes one massive clusterf***. Holla!īecause of its size, the Coolidge has an un-spoken rule (kind of like not bunting in the 9th inning to break up a no-hitter) that they don’t start seating people until roughly 10-15 minutes prior to the show starting.
RED KITE PASTRY MOVIE
Now, as you can imagine, it’s not a huge: there are four theaters (one of which is a ten seat screening room), and a small lobby that serves the normal movie theater fair, along with fine wine and booze. It’s a pretty baller place and it’s essentially a second home for me. AN FBI AGENT!!!!), a Lord of the Rings marathon (where freaking Aragorn himself actually showed up to serenade the audience), or a book signing by Kevin Smith. It’s an independent movie theater that’s like four blocks from my apartment, and it’s not uncommon for me to make a cameo appearance every weekend to check out one of the new releases or to participate in one of their events like a midnight showing of Point Break (I. I’m a member of a pretty awesome movie theater here in Boston called The Coolidge. This is probably my most random blog title ever (even more than THIS), and I’m sure those who clicked on the link and are now reading may be scratching their heads wondering where I could possibly be going with this.
