This sign hangs at the back of the historic Detroit Theatre in Lakewood, Ohio.
The theater, which was featured prominently in background shots of the film American Splendor, is a second-run, bargain movie house these days. Usually freezing cold year round. But you can see a movie for $4...or BOGO if you have a trusty Lakewood High School Football Team's "Ranger" Card.
The sign makes me laugh. I don't think I've ever been to a showing there that had more than 20 people watching a film. And that's a big crowd.
Strangely, besides the fact it's right here in town and it's cheap, that's what I really like about it. Almost a private viewing...every time.
Oh, and in case you're wondering....I saw Baby Mama.
And to the critics who said it wasn't funny....I strongly disagree!
