@hex I'd say it'd be right up my alley, and as I said, I know a lot of Gen Z folks who are enamoured with the concept, if you got a popcorn machine like they have at Rural King for folks browsing, I think you'd be in business.
@Thatonepersonwithaface i mentioned “Rural King” to my spouse to pitch this idea and her eyes lit up
heck
this could be fun

@hex If the path is also a theater, movie madness is owned by the nonprofit that also owns the Hollywood theater here, worth taking a look at how their membership structure and fundraising messaging works.
A lot of the Hollywood (and the Clinton, another gem in town)'s repairs and features were crowdfunded, iirc it's how the Hollywood got at least some of the $$ for their 70mm projector

@courtney i was thinking the nonprofit route. i still want to make the Kentucky Laserdisc Preservation Society a *thing* and maybe membership in *that* can help with getting the theater going and give perks to the rental store

@kib reading this first thing in the morning is sending me lmao
