Rec'd on 🚫 Favorite Discontinued Brand/Store?

Smaller offshoot of blockbuster - new releases were always more expensive than the ”gallery” offerings. To be honest this place sucked and had very few good movies to watch but this made the hunt much more fulfilling - I miss the carpets with weird designs and impulse purchase snacks

Small movie theaters

i love it when cities have a small movie theater, which looks rather like a small shop and anyone rarely goes there, even though it's way cheaper and has great movies. they hold a special place in my heart.

The Cinematheque

When I was in my early 20s I worked at a video store called Limelight - the kind of place that had every Takashi Miike movie ever (including his children’s movies) but kept their lights on by stocking 5 copies of Pride and Prejudice. After that, I was lucky enough to get a K********a invite which allowed me to torrent deep cuts by Olivier Assayas, and prized .mp4s of Cameron Jamie’s movies. Maybe I just didn’t like leaving the house but I don’t think that 2005 - 2015 were great years to be going to the theater anyway. When I moved back to Vancouver I didn’t know many people so my sister suggested I volunteer at The Cinematheque, and it’s become one of my favorite places in the city. It’s basically got a lot of the same programming as The Metrograph minus a lot of the annoying pretensions of arthouse theaters that are… annoying. The Cinematheque even went through a redesign and it looks even better than it did before which never happens. Volunteers get to see whatever for free so sometimes I find myself there 4 times a week. Some of the most memorable screenings include Maborosi, The White Sheik, Even Dwarves Started Small, Caught By Night, Gun Crazy, and Out Of The Blue.
