00:00Early theaters were built for the architecture and the beauty and to just transform people

00:08to another place.

00:09They had this few minutes in the dark in this beautiful cathedral.

00:14Today it's just like advertising, plastic seats and crap.

00:17If you're going to put a theater, never mind five theaters, in a town of 300 people, then

00:31you're going to have to make it so people talk about it.

00:34Five theaters attached to a guy's house in the middle of nowhere, and you sort of wonder

00:39what is this place?

00:40Who would build something this stupid?

00:41When we came, we thought it would be probably something with like a bed sheet on the wall

00:47in his garage.

00:48When I go to the movies, I want to go to something that I'm going to come out and feel wow.

01:04I skipped dinner to have popcorn.

01:07You guys like popcorn, don't you?

01:10It cost me $75 a week to feed the bear.

01:13If you don't give him food, he's in here putting garbage piles.

01:17I started building the theater in 75, and we actually got it open in 79, and it was

01:23just a single screen.

01:24In 86, I decided, well, if we're going to sit around for one little theater, we'll add

01:28another one.

01:30The last couple of weeks, it's been maybe two or three people in a theater, you know,

01:34because starting next week, it's one show, period.

01:36That's it.

01:37Our audience has declined over the years, and I realize that the way things are changing,

01:42there will come a day when movies won't be practical.

01:45Time is an interesting thing.

01:47Can you travel in it?

01:49Probably be fun to go to the future and see how this all turns out.

02:16It's very strange.

02:17It's, yeah, it's a strange story.

02:19What the future holds for that place, I don't know.

02:23Figure something out.

02:25Show must go on.
