I hope movie theaters survive for a lot of reasons. The most personal one for me is giving high schoolers their first and sketchiest job.
The first job I went out and got was at the movie theater near Countryside Mall off US 19. I learned a lot of things there, including but not limited to:
A xenon bulb from the projector makes an incredible spectacle when thrown into a dumpster behind the theater
you can throw a whole cargo box of Nerds up a whole flight of stairs if you are strong enough, which my co-worker Chuck was, but not if you hit the light fixture on the landing with the throw first, which Chuck did, sending a hellstorm of glass and plastic onto all of us
Chuck really did have a mullet he cut with a flowbee. He rolled the sleeves up on his movie theater uniform to show off his huge biceps and drove a Camaro. He was genuinely nice and obvs cool as shit.
