Well, I would love to MOCK the average consumer. I have a theory. Shall I share? Share I shall...

As soon as the normal working class patron steps into the light being emitted by the sun, the are automatically turned dumb. Zero brain cells. They simply cease to exist. (however coinciding with the stated law that no matter can be created nor destroyed, that discussion will come later. I have a logical explination for brains disappearing...) Once a group of five patrons come within a 35 foot proximity of each other, they have just enough mental capacity to form 1/5th of 1 brain cell.

All that said, the name of my cinema chain would be "DuuuuhhhUUUR!"

My favorite chain name is "A Theatre Near You" (headquartered in Washington, I think.)

Just think of all that free advertising at the end of nearly every movie's TV ads!!

If I ever have a chain, I'm going to call it "Theatres Everywhere." Or possibly "Select Cities."

Mike --- that's a good one. I bet some audiences would seek out "A Theatre Near You", just because the ads said to do so.

Actually Mike, I did a screening room for a guy named Richard Mock in San Diego many years ago, he called his place 'A Theatre Near You' I liked it so much that when I got my home screening room done, I called it
"A Theatre Near You - Too" I still have a sign I had made for the place!!!

Well, There's "Eat At Joe's" so why not have a chain called "Watch At Joe's". Seafood could be served at the snack bar.
