the kids cinema - with a dance floor, giant slide, and beanbag chairs lol

Ohhhh right.

I assume it generally hosts kids movies and not Wes Anderson movies

Sounds like they should be holding raves in there, not screening movies

My local cinema is a small independent one, four screens, plays mostly commercial movies, with a bit of variety.

But it's cheap & cheerful, a movie costs $13 for an adult, it has lovely staff and the food is dirt cheap compared to the megaplexes.

I generally go there every couple of months to watch a show.

The rooftop cinema does mystery movie nights ('surprise screenings')They're always the first to sell out, I haven't been able to make it there yet.

Wow and we were laughing at this concept the other day in the other movie thread.

Not a dislike but went to an afternoon screening to Events Cinema to watch Spider-man. So was a bit nervous since it's first time in a long time going to such a session and there was a lot of gen-z in the crowd. They were very rowdy prior to the film, but surprisingly everyone was well behaved and quiet during the screening!

Was totally expecting a group of boys to start pulling their phones out and get all hyped or something lol

Yep sometimes cinema crowds can surprise you. Ie. The Incredibles full of kids who didn't say a word.

Then they can totally not surprise you and you walk out before the movie ends.
