I was actually shocked!

[greenishness]

Wow I got 100%.

I was pretty sure on 95% but had to think and take a stab at 5 or so percent. The toughest for me was the Pee Wee movie, finally recalling he hitched a ride with the escaped con in Big Adventure. Sixteen Candles and Pretty in Pink were a bit tough since I never saw either all the way through but took a good guess I guess.

[PLMerite]

100% but a few were educated guesses.

Most I knew without the multiple choice, but I guessed entirely on Breakfast Sixteen in Pink (or whatever all those Molly Ringwald movies were)

Hahahaha...I think there is something wrong with the tests...

Heh...I was really full of myself until I took the other tests...:) I have no doubt my wife would have been rolling her eyes at my genius..."Hey Genius, can you finish doing the dishes when you're done being full of yourself?"

I wasn't surprised about the movie one, though...I used to go to a couple of movies a week back then...:)

Last movie I saw in a theater was Midway. Loved it for the most part, but I don't like going to theaters any more. I had to gripe at a whole row of teenagers texting and talking. I asked them politely to stop, and they did.

For about 15 seconds. Eh. Isn't worth it to me anymore. Most movies now pretty much suck. Not all, some reasonably decent ones get through once in a while, but I watch most at home.

Sigh. I miss going to real theaters that were in decent shape...there was something more engrossing and more communal about it with a group of friends.

Here is the one in my town were I have been for a long time now...this was built in 1948 and got pretty dingy and musty and they fixed it up beautifully.

This is the outside:

This is the inside, those Chinese tapestries or some Chinese royalty (a man and a woman) were hung on either side, and they got to looking really sad at one point. The theater really had a hard time of it for about 20 years (I had begun going to it back in the 70's IIRC, and it was run down then, finally closing in 2012. Some guy bought it and really did a nice job renovating it.

They got state of the art sound and video, but they also can use these, apparently which they restored:

My heart goes out to them, because they purchased an empty restaurant space attached but they apparently couldn't pry it away from the owners, and they got it about 90% complete when the COVID hit. They have had to close the theater, but they were able after a delay to open the ice cream shop.

I really like the place. It isn't like going to the big mega cinemas which have kids who couldn't give a hoot about it and they gouge you for anything to snack on.

These people have clean cut kids who appear to be into it. It is family owned, a labor of love. Around Christmas for a few years, they open the theater for free and show "It's A Wonderful Life" and "Miracle on 38th Street".

And thy charge REASONABLE prices for food and drink. I wish I went more, but, well, I am getting older and more cratchety.

[luvie]

Sorry everyone for a crap test. Will do better next week! I'm as bummed as y'all are!

[ValleyofHope]

I got ‘em all right! 100%! Woo Hoo!

[Biggirl]
