If you grew up in the South Bay, you probably went to quite a few movies at the old Century theaters on Winchester–the best screens in the whole area. They closed yesterday. I remember waiting in lines that would stretch almost to Winchester Blvd. for the openings of Independence Day and Back to the Future Part 3.
The last time I went there was a few months ago. My wife and I went to see the second Hunger Games movie a few months back on a Wednesday night. We were literally the only 2 people in the 900-seat theater. I went to the restroom in the middle of the movie, and when I came back inside I yelled: “WHAT DID I MISS?” across the rows. Fun but depressing.
Anyway, thanks for the entertainment, Century Theatres.
Here’s a petition to Save the Domes if you are so inclined.
