- Do you think this news story means that someone stole the secret to The Ugly Steak?
- On a more serious note, it looks like the International Film Series is in trouble, which really stinks.Not that I go anymore. But I wish I could.It makes me wonder if it’s Netflix doing the most damage. Or could it be something a little more philosophical, i.e., loss of a sense of community now that there are several showings over several days, (vs. the 4 showings that used to take place at the Cinema I&II)?
And btw, how’s the Rialto doing in general?
As for me, I seem to forget it’s there, now that it’s tucked away in a strip mall filled with other businesses I seem to never patronize (Sears, Kmart, CVS, etc.)
A certain boyfriend of mine says he thinks the marquis looks like a sign for a car shop.
And I don’t mean to be harsh on the owners, but I have commented before that their web site is hard to find and sounds like it’s named after your aunt and uncle. (In fact, I think I’ve gotten more hits from people Googling for the Rialto web site than anything else on this blog. Hmph.)
I really want the new theater to survive, of course. But I don’t seem to have the time or the money these days to patronize it myself.
What about y’all? Have you been there lately? Going regularly? Are the theatres full? (Leave me a comment below).
- In other slightly depressing news, one of my esteemed sources tells me we have finally lost The Spaz. (Guess it’s been a long time since I’ve been on the Square). That true? If so, R.I.P. ….. from one local spaz to another.
“Macomb police were dispatched about 9:38 a.m. Friday in response to a burglary at the Red Ox Restaurant, 1302 W. Jackson St.”
