The only time I went to CCC was preceded by awesome pizza at Flying Squirrel, another little business that could. It could be an all-tiny-independent night!
CCC is awesome. There is going to be a showing of Capitalism: A Love Story there on the 24th (a Saturday) at 10:00 a.m. for $10. Another great way to help out this little place (while also helping elect Democrats across the state).
Could they play some better movies? I love the venue, but it is rare that I find something I actually want to watch there. I know all the hipsters ironically love the old classics, but seriously who wants to watch The Shining AGAIN?
As far as I am concerned the CCC is a missed opportunity to create an vibrant cinema arts center for us folks south of I-90. If I want to see Clash of the Motherfucking Titans, I will see it on a nice screen with good sound and stadium seating. The CCC financial problem being what it is, it seems that most of Seattle would agree with me. I would frequent the CCC if it punched within its weight; it would be an excellent site for foreign film, cult classics, midnight movies, and local film festivals.
This is also the second time that the owners have asked for a community bailout, and i would rather save my charity for the people that can really use it. The theater is going to fail; my only hope is that someone who knows cinema takes it over and makes it a successful operation. Hell, if I was twenty years older I take a shot at it myself.
