I could tell Arclight news was substantial yesterday when I started feeling numb. Honestly, I still don't know how I really feel about it. I just know saw more movies there than I have anywhere else in my entire life...

Yes, it was expensive. But I worked long, often changing hours so I couldn't plan much. There were lots of theaters made it easy to just grab a great seat at fairly good time. They played every kind of movie, big or small. I could get there close to show time.

I had secret free parking space I will never tell another human being about. There were only 3 trailers and not 30 minutes of ads. My hearing isn't awesome and I could usually depend on the sound system. Stuff like that really made it easier.

I can't tell you how many times I was stressed and then we could just go and let that stuff melt away, feel calm and and then watch something in a place where most people were there to be undisturbed, too. It was serene.

That was the other thing I really liked - though part of me missed the bacchanalia of Boston theaters. Back where people would light up joints during How High or where I would always see Manny Ramirez as he was going into movies like "Ladder 49."

But there were other places here I could go for the energy, so it was sort of moot. And in another way, it was great for group viewing / coordination and I can't tell you how many conversations I had in that atrium or outside. I really can't.

But most of all I just think about how easy it made i for me to see absolutely everything for a decade... I hope something changes and it still makes it easy.

I not only went there more than often, I worked there for about 6 months. Not long considering, but considering how important movie theatres are to me, that was one of the most important. If not THE most important of my adult life in LA. It's a historical monument...

So at least it will still be there, just not as a Pacific Theatre.

For an indoor kid like me, small and geeky, going to the movies with me brother every weekend was some of the best times we had. One of the few places we could go where no one could pick on me. I feel you on this.
