assigned seating? it was free seating each and every time i’ve watched a movie there, but that’s about 3 so don’t mind me!

I agree with the article, but you’ve got to assume that they are making money with the fare they offer seeing as how it’s continuing. The Bridge is the only theater in the area, so they’re not just catering to Penn students. And even if it were just Penn students, you can’t assume that other people have similar taste in movies. Look at how popular Napoleon Dynamite, Wedding Crashers, and Zoolander were. I’m not trying to bash those movies, but they aren’t exactly intended for the Oscars. That said, I am deeply disappointed that they played Premonition (I think for more than one week) but never Babel or Pan’s Labyrinth. At least they’ve got 300, though.

This sounds like stereotypical Indie Kid complaining. Instead of trying to assert that the Bridge should just open up its tastes, the author maligns the movies already shown there as “mediocre,” “low brow,” “bore me to tears,” crap while independent films are necessarily “quality.” Do more than just throw negative adjectives and descriptions at mainstream, popular culture and prop up more obscure art forms as being of superior taste just because. (and liking the Ritz simply for being the Ritz). There’s nothing wrong with having an opinion contrary to most others, but if you want to be taken seriously, don’t just bash the mainstream (and therefore indirectly those who enjoy it) for simply being the mainstream.

bollywood films at the bridge? all that would result in would be bullet holes in the screen.
