I have the greatest memories of the Waverly and I was totally bummed/sad/upset/pissed when it closed. Seeing movies there and at the Strand uptown was what made me become a film student (oh so many years ago). That and no cable, just excellent local stations showing nothing but movies, movies, movies, but as usual I digress.
I’m actually quite excited and anxiously await its grand opening. Being a West Villager I don’t mind trekking East, but it will be a pleasure to once again have a neighborhood “indie” theater I can call my own. In fact, I don’t care what’s playing. I’ve already decided I will not be going to work that day and I won’t be sick. Maybe they’ll even have a cool promotional give away. Could they out do Sunshine Cinema?
In conclusion I will only add that I hope they pop their own popcorn instead of buying huge garbage bags filled with the pre-poppped crap. But who am I kidding? I’ve been sneaking food into theaters all my life! See you at the movies!
