I keep forgetting to blog because nothing out of the ordinary has happened at work, so I usually just go to bed. Yesterday we went and saw
Monster's University at the local movie theater: El Cortez. Although we did see another movie here, I did not mention it before and I want to tell ye about it. It was built in the 1941 and is as if it has never been remodeled, even though it was when it re-opened in 1995 after many years of being shut down. It has a capacity of 580 in the only one theater. This is a little misleading, as there are less than 200 actual seats -- everyone else just sits on the floor or stands in the back. It also only has four showtimes a week: 1900 Friday, Saturnday, Sunday, and 1400 on Saturnday. It shows a different movie every weekend. El Cortez is run by a guy & his wife, and they -- with help from two children who I assume are theirs when the crowds get big -- do all the work. It seems an interesting anachronism in this day and age, but I think it is cool that these sort of places still exist.
Random Fact: Although this is not really something I learned just today, I was thinking and it hit me and seems really weird: Due to the fact that we do not begin storing memories until about age 4.5, and due the fact that the September 11th attacks happened in 2001: The majority of 15 year-old children have no memory of 9/11.
