Grand Lake Theatre

Yeah.

So I'll give you my review, but I went to go to Grand Lake Theater right by me.

Beautiful spot to see a film.

Great theater and saw a little primetime at noon.

Did you see the

ad? No.

Great thing about the Grand Lake Theater is it's independently owned, so they do their own ads before the movie.

Nice.

It was right around the corner from my house.

Um, that was just local owned, a- as well as the Grand Lake Theater.

The, the more bigger movies went there, the, the ETs and the stuff like that went to this one.

And Parkway Theater, which was, which is why I love horror films, because there was either action, horror, or raunchy comedies, or whatever.

But, you know, did I get more out of the movie itself? You know, not really.

It's cool to see here on the big screen or whatever, but if I'm gonna pay $28 for that versus $6 and I get a narrow aspect ratio at the Grand Lake Theater, you think I'm gonna go there? Like, I don't know.

But what was also interesting was I watched the...

Do you guys know about The Return, this other adaptation of The Odyssey from like a year ago?

Really, dude, like when it comes down to it, 239 just looks sick.

And I was at a screening at the Grand Lake Theater last week.

There's a bunch of short films that played and they were mostly 16 by 9.

And then one came on that was in 239.

If they're gonna release it somewhere, wouldn't they release it in Oakland, like if it was gonna be released somewhere?

Yeah, the Grand Lake Theater would be fantastic, but they're probably not gonna do that.

This film was shot in Atlanta.

Because they know it's crap.

I feel like I've committed to that.

And like, I don't want to not go because one's at the Grand Lake Theater.

It's like my most favorite theater in the world.

And like, I've seen movies of mine play there twice.

And it means that it is not about taking on any one business to try to get them to change.

In fact, a lot of businesses in Oakland, not just the Grand Lake Theater, support the idea of standing up for the 99%.

For example, the men's warehouse clothing stores put up these signs today.

We stand with the 99%.
