Who's a cute little movie theater? You are! You are!
When I was a kid, the theater on Main Street was known as the Beacon, and it showed one movie at a time. There was a downstairs and a balcony and a single massive screen. Then they split the balcony into its own theater to turn it into a duplex.
Then somewhere along the way, it lost the name Beacon to a chain ownership, and they split each theater in half, creating a quadplex, before adding another screen or two down a back hallway as it evolved into a multiplex. Finally, in the quest to be an omniplex, they created this little mutant theater in the space that used to be a mom-and-pop video store next door.
It seats about 35, the screen is not much larger than your flatscreen at home and the sound sucks. All in all, you'd have a better movie-going experience in the media room of any given NBA player's McMansion. Yet they still charge you $12 to watch a movie in there.
