No beautiful people (other than myself) are greeting us and where is the red carpet? A local Kinmount matron with a big smile ushers us into the cinema with a bag of popcorn. Speaking of food why is there no mall with a Montana’s and 16 other restaurants down the street? I mean we are this tiny town with a couple of restaurants so who would come to Highland Cinemas for an evening out to eat the best fish and chips in Ontario before the show?
And the actual theatre in which we are to watch the documentary is more like a rumpus room than the cinemas we love with lots of plastic and not a spot of individuality. And much of the theatre is decorated with artifacts taken from over 450 shuttered theatres. It is all old stuff. Wasn’t Robert Duvall saying in “Apocalypse Now” , “I love the smell of acrylic and plastic in a theatrical matinee?” Geez. We are here to see a film not to admire uniqueness we are unfamiliar with in a multiplex.
So munching this damn tasty popcorn but for goodness sake made with a 1965 recipe using coconut oil. Aren’t coconut trees dangerous as Keith Richards took a terrible tumble from one?
There is that guy from “Apocalypse Now” introducing the film….you know that actor on “Two Men” is it…Charlie Sheen? The Sheen guy loves the film but give me a break as why didn’t Hollywood Suite fly the man up? Most likely the sad story I hear from Route 504, the firm handling the public relations for someone involved with this film namely the corporate jet is under maintenance and due to COVID there are supply chain issues affecting the light bulb in the WC. COVID?
Anyways feeling vulnerable, lonely and even frightened as I have been told there can be bears in the parking lot. The movie rolls. I take deep breaths and have a brief meditation. Damn mosquito bite has made my fingers itchy.
With wild savage animals prowling about I reluctantly turn my phone off. When the bears come storming in like the dinosaurs in “Jurassic Park” how can I call the local constables to save me first then after that all the Torontonians from the bus.
I am feeling a bit silly wearing a tuxedo here.
Part three: The documentary will be finally reviewed.
