movie theaters – E. A. Young Writes

The Move-a-Week Log, Weeks 1-5

Welcome one and all to a new section of the blog! Last year, I made it a goal to try and watch one new movie a week–I had been falling back into my old comfort watches, and I figured if I’m going to be making and writing movies in the future, watching The Blue Brothers for the millionth time probably wouldn’t be much help.

However, I quickly lost momentum with that goal, as work and then moving really got in the way. This year, I’m giving myself the goal again and planning to follow through with it. 52 weeks in the year, 52 movies. That’s a pretty good goal, yeah?

After the movie theater I worked at closed down, my mind went to Ashland Street Cinemas, another movie theater that had a close connection to a community. It sadly closed down in the beginning of 2021. In my first article for that year when writing for the Siskiyou, I wrote about how much the theater had impacted the community, especially the college students who frequented it.
