| - Ask any of my friends, and they'll all tell you that I really hate movie theaters. Maybe it's having to hear people rustling their bags of candy or see them shoving popcorn into their faces as if their lives depended on it. Maybe it's that I don't have the luxury of rewinding if I couldn't catch what someone said in the movie. Or maybe I just don't want to pay $10 to see some Hollywood movie that will most likely be bad than good when I could pay $9 for a month of Netflix and just wait for that craptastic movie to come out on dvd. My disdain for most movie theaters is almost that of hate, but I LOVE movie theaters like Valley Art.
Valley Art has only one screen (the last of its kind in the valley), and they show movies that are lesser known than the Hollywood box office hits. Mostly, they show independent, foreign, historic, or artistic movies, which brings in a different kind of audience than other theaters. There is a historic feel to this theater with its one concession stand, one ticket booth, and one screen. Even the outside decor is reminiscent of times past, and I have no qualms about supporting this kind of theater.
