I know I have already sung the praises of the Rainbow Cinemas on Front Street in Toronto (their homepage here – my previous post about them here)
And now, besides having the most reasonable and realistic price for your movie stub in all of Toronto, and besides having the quaintest, coolest theatre, they now are doing what I’m surprised I’ve never seen any theatre do at Christmas time. .. This coming Monday at 7:00pm, they are showing
“It’s a Wonderful Life” on the big screen
UPDATE: This showing was actually LAST Monday – Rainbow changed the layout slightly and it was showing the remains of last week’s shows instead of the UPCOMING shows — I was going to erase this post, but I still think it’s a great idea, so I’m leaving it up.
I shouldn’t need to tell anyone why this is (*ahem* WAS) a good idea. Go get into the Season and watch this the way it was seen back in the 40’s. Take your loved one or most reasonable hand-drawn facsimile and have a Merry Christmas night now won’t you? Ask around, you’ll be surprised how many people you would assume have seen this, haven’t seen this. Joyeux Noel n’ Stuff!
I have seen this movie… at least a dozen times… its a Christmas tradition.. like the Grinch (animated) But yes.. I am also suprised to see that no one thought of putting it up in a theatre. At least they are not showing the StarWars Christmas Special (mostly since the Lucas Mafia would have some projectionist assasinated for it) Humanity still has hope.
