the low end. southside chi
shyt was crazy...being in my 30's now and having been to midnight screenings and block buster type joints.....it seems normal now

Back then there were lines hours before the movie started, because our particular theater didnt pre-sell.
It was like one of them comic book conventions...people were dressed up like Jedi's and had light sabers and Yoda costumes and storm troopers....:dwillhuh:

there was a guy that was arrested because he had a sword that he spray-painted green

They would be having light sabre battles in the lobby.

Because the movie was so popular me and another guy knew what scenes would be playing by the run-time....

we would always go in the theater when this was playing:





By the following weekend I knew the fight choreography by heart...:russ:

lmao, i meant what was their reaction whne that shyt was overwas they like :beli::what::pacspit::stopitslime::to::mindblown::rudy:

Ight bet. What type of fukkery did you witness for any big horror movie release at that time? I know blair witch was 98 or 99

Ahh...thats a good one...I remember there were people screaming in there...cant front the movie was scary even being a usher with a broom in my hand in the corner....because that movie was all about atmosphere and being in a pitch black theatre..people actually though it was real found footage.

I remember a guy came with his kid...kid may have been like 13-14.....they ended up leaving about halfway through....lil kid was shook:sadbron:


i remember looking at my coworker like :whoo:

No fights. We had to call the cops on some Bebe's once because they were talking through the movie and after several warning they got beligerent


People used to to sneak in movies constantly back then..one person would buy a ticket and then try to creep to the exit and let friends in.

if they were slick about it I didnt say anything....but if I got a call on the walkie - talkie..i had to take action...:russ:


Never saw anybody smoking...I saw a guy drinking a beer one time....he had to be escorted out

:why: i bring beers to every movie i go to, never been thrown out?

smoked a couple joints in empty movies at shytty theaters before too :manny:

How was the sound systems set up? How many watts, what big were the speakers, how many speakers? I love a theater with a good sound system.

I couldn't tell you breh...I honestly was not into that like I am now

I do remember seeing like a 30 inch woofer in the very front of each theater and like 5 speakers on each wall
