Here's why we love the Marathon Theater. We took this photo from the last row of tables, yes, this is the whole theater, it seats 105. You never have to wait in line. They have a few rows of seats but mostly tables. They have beer and wine. A pitcher of beer is $4.75. There is never a line to get in. You always know someone in the crowd. I like the sign when you walk in that says "The management has the right to cancel the movie if there is not a minimum of five people in attendance". Whew, we made it at the afternoon matinee, there where about 35 people. Jim Carey in Yes Man was just great.

That's a great concept! I would think that could be a prety good business venture. There used to be theaters in the chicago 'burbs that would show 6 month old movies (I guess that was before VCR's were around :-/ ). But it was cheep and fun, and heck, they didn't even sell beer or wine!

It looks so relaxed, I'm wondering if peolple are likely to speak up and make comments on the movie... Now I think that would be very fun!
