7 years.

Kavitha ReddyUncategorized

It has been 2, 557 days since the first day we played our first new release movies.  (We had played some older movies the previous few days for training and testing).  The Kingsman and Fifty Shades of Grey.  We’ve had so many wild experiences since then.  It doesn’t feel like it’s been 7 years.  We are still working through the …

Is this goodbye?

Kavitha ReddyUncategorized

  We need to talk and I know how you feel about difficult conversations so I’ll try to be gentle. Things aren’t good. They haven’t been good for a while. I’m not giving up on us, but I want to be honest with you. I need you more than I ever have. I can’t do this alone. I’m scared we …

The best bad review

Kavitha ReddyPalace, Uncategorized

  STOP! Don’t hit send. I know you’re mad. I know you feel justice will be served if you spew a list of profanities blasting a business on a public forum. You’ll show them what happens when they disrespect you and blatantly disregard all of the doctrines of customer service that you feel they should follow based on your experience …

Getting the donation you want…

Kavitha ReddyPalace, Uncategorized

Does anybody else feel their stomach sink a little when they are assigned a list of businesses to contact and ask for donations? We all know those people who are fearless in their pursuit of donations and breeze in with carloads of amazing items. We also know people who consider it a good day if they are able to get …

The first memory I have of Brad Mizer is from a student council retreat during my freshman year of high school. I was in a canoe with some other girls far enough away from shore that swimming back wasn’t in my plans, but close enough that Brad and some other boys thought they could swim up & tip us over. …

Good Morning, Summer Series…

Kavitha ReddyPalace, Uncategorized

Working at a movie theater has a lot of fun perks… like getting to see movie posters/trailers first, quality checking movies early, and having a constant supply of movie theater popcorn and candy. I can now add meeting stars to that list. Okay, so maybe we weren’t rubbing elbows with Zac Efron (just yet… I’m still plotting a way to …

Christian films at Athens Movie Palace

Kavitha ReddyUncategorized

We understand the frustration many of you experience when a movie you want to see does not come to the Palace. Some of this is beyond our control, but in some cases, we may be able to change this. There is a very specific religious theater circuit. As of now, we haven’t been able to get on their radar. Our …

How to steal a new release…

Kavitha ReddyIndustry, Uncategorized

A few people have asked me what I do with the movies after we show them or if I can burn them a copy. Other than it being completely illegal and the easiest way to lose our licensing agreements with the studio, it’s also impossible.   The concept of “movie” that we all have is a disc copy of a …

Why you should pay $8.00 for popcorn

Kavitha ReddyUncategorized

You should buy our concessions and lots of them. I agree with those of you who say “But I can get this for ________ at ____________.” Yes, you can buy candy in bulk at Wal-Mart for less than what we charge. Yes, cokes at Sonic are less than what we charge. However, those places have other items that help pay …
