Keep this up and they'll soon be running a small country
Things have been too hectic for us to catch any first-run movies, but I notice that the local megacinemultiplex is apparently set to do some construction. I presume that said work will result in the addition of a few new screens, possibly in an attempt to keep up with the Odessans.
If this is indeed the case, then I can't help wondering about the discussion in some boardroom somewhere in which the decision was made to go forward with the project. I mean, what were they thinking?
It will be nice to have a few more choices, assuming that they don't decide to run "Friday Night Lights" in perpetuity on a couple of the new screens, but the bigger question is where they think they'll find enough sullen, unobservant, slow-moving teenagers* to mismanage the expanded assets when they're already woefully behind the curve with the existing setup?
*Obligatory disclaimer: There are also a few quite competent and friendly teens on staff; their presence vividly highlights by contrast my point.
Yeah, but what'll happen to it once they have a couple or three extra screens to spare? ;-)
