QotD: My Intro to the Big Screen

What was the first movie you remember seeing in a movie theater?
Question submitted by mainmor.

Star Wars. At least it was only known as Star Wars back then. I would go with my older sister to work on the weekends. She worked at Liberty House in San Antonio Shopping Center, which was located across the street from the Old Mill Six theaters. I would wander the shopping center — yes, all by myself — as she put in her 6 to 8 hour work day. If I went to work with her, I had to be willing to occupy myself the whole day.

There are only so many times you can go to the San Antonio Hobby Shop or to the bookstore, and so, I would cross the street and go to the Old Mill Six theaters. I still remember the first scene: the music, the scrolling words, the laser fire, the smoke, and Darth Vader.

Sideshows Come to Sunnyvale?

I pull out of the house this morning around 7:00am.  I get to the corner of Ahwahnee and Fair Oaks, the first major intersection I hit as I head into work.  I stop at the red light and watch a guy in a black side-dented Chevy truck make a U-turn to go to south-bound 101, even though no u-turn is allow.  The guy in the black Chevy truck proceeds to go around in circle, burning rubber in the intersection, as people wait to cross.  He does this for about 4 or 5 circles, enough for the smoke and smell of burnt rubber to fill the air.  Then he takes off, satisfied that he has made a spectacle of himself.

It’s nice to start the day with a nice dose of idiocy.  I wonder what is going to happen the rest of the day.
