Nighthawks At The Cinema

A while back in Vancouver there was a guy who had a storefront and showed films. Just a little room, but he had a projector and NFB cast-offs and a variety of other weird things. It didn't last, but I really love the idea of the tiny movie-viewing place.

Sound & Vision Editor:

Sadly, this "Cinema" is a Country & Western (Or "alt-country," even.) bar, not a cinematic space. Someone who works at HBO told us they used it as the bar in HBO's just-Cancelled Luck.

Used to be involved w/ this outfit, which was tee vee rather than projection, but a storefront & fun.

I've never been in there, but I've always wanted to check it out. Is it a good dive, or too hipster?

Honky-Tonkin' Editor:
Goodness, no hipsters. You'd be quite comfy in there, depending I s'pose on the act (mostly "hick" stuff); for the guy we were dragged to see audience hairs were gray or colored.

Caveat: May be filled w/ show biz weasels from Sony, &c. during the day.

Small place, postage stamp stage & all. Friend & associate thought US$5.50 for beer was steep. To us, bar's are all a rip-off, so whatev.
