Don't follow this link unless you want to be made physically ill.

A spokeswoman for the Westboro Baptist Church (The God Hates Fags morons) is interviewed on Fox News.

Amazing, the depths that people will sink too when brainwashed their whole lives.

I am a little annoyed at the media. Now that the WBC is picketting soldier's funerals, they go after them. Where were they a couple of years ago when they were targetting gay's funerals. It was just as heinous then as it is now. The feelings of the grieving families were just as hurt.

One of my "lottery fantasies" is to own a theatre.

It would be a big damn art deco tribute to Hollywood's golden age. When theaters were shrines/palaces. I'd modernize things though. Stadium seating, counters in front of the seats for putting your food down on. Box seats for people who want to sit away from the hoi polloi.

The lobby would have a single counter for serving food, rather then one for the Yugen Fruz, one for the Burger King, etc. The food would consist of typical theater fair, and other, more upscale things. A menu like Wild Wood's pub would be ideal.

The ushers would be empowered to kick your sorry ass out if you:
1) won't control your child
2) talk on a cell phone
3) are generally an asshat.
Matinees would be open to all ages. Moms with infants would be able to see a movie, but would have to take a (sound proofed) box seat. Evening shows would allow alcohol, but there'd be no children under 12 permitted.

No ads before the picture (previews are part of the movie experience though, so they'd stay).

There would be an eclectic blend of shows - art films, foreign films, documentaries, classics from the golden age and big budget hollywood epics would all be represented.

This place seems close, but I'd want to actually see it before saying it's a perfect match to my vision.
