Raiders of the Lost ArclightHey, New York! What's your deal?! No, not the reality TV star (sic) New York. I mean the city that supposedly never sleeps, the rumored-to-be big apple, the place that if you make it there you can allegedly make it anywhere. Last night my friends called me from a little place named Los Angeles. The city of angeles. They were coming out of a movie. Himkar (that's a guy) said he was amazed at the theater they had just been to. He said he had never been to anything like it before. i didn't even have to ask. He had been to the Arclight. For those of you unlucky enough to have lived to this point without witnessing a motion picture in the halls of this hallowed theater, let me give you the rundown. First off, 14 dollar tickets. If you can't roll with that, then the Arclight doesn't want you around. The 14 dollar tag weeds out the riff raff as does the policy of not letting anyone in after the movie has already started, so be sure to get there in enough time to buy a friggin paninini (nini) from the concession stand. Then go settle into your giant recliner seat and gaze up at the giganto screen. Have your movie personally introduced by a struggling actor masquerading as an Arclight employee. Then sit back and get ready to experience movies the way God and Stephen Spielberg intended. In short: best theater EVER. So Himkar asked me the question that I now ask to the collective 5 Borroughs: Where is our Arclight? I mean we have some good theaters. The Sunshine, The Ziegfeld, The Union Square Theaters (I know they suck but they are infested with rats so you can always get your tickets refunded just be talking to the front desk about it and saying the word RAT a little louder every time they say they can't give you any money). i am not saying we don't have good theaters. but we sure don't have an Arclight. So New York! What's the deal? Where is our Arclight? Epicentre of culture my arse! You call me when you get that Arclight and then we can discuss why you don't have an Ameoba Records either.

Well that sounds pretty cool. Don't they have those theaters that serve beer and low quality pasta too though?
