That is: indoor dining, indoor gatherings and indoor movie theaters,” Williams said. “It’s all the more important that we remain really vigilant and on top of trying to keep the case counts here locally as low as possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some movie industry insiders are frustrated with the delay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We understand that by opening those theater doors, we are assuming a big responsibility,” said Milt Moritz, regional (California/Nevada) president and CEO of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.natocalnev.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">National Association of Theater Owners\u003c/a>, a trade organization which represents more than 90 percent of screens in California. “We hope to be able to persuade the different health departments that, you know, they should have more of an open mind.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, where big screens remain off-limits for now, Roxie Theater executive director Lex Sloan said the mixed messages are confusing to audiences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of people are saying, ‘When are you going to reopen?’ And I’m saying, ‘Well, even though Governor Newsom said we could open, that doesn’t mean Mayor London Breed has said that we can.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some other regions of the country, movie theaters have been steadily reopening since June. Despite the reopening of outdoor screens here in the Bay Area, like the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13879772/hooray-you-can-go-to-the-movies-again-at-a-drive-in-theater\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Westwind Capitol Drive-In in San Jose\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13883486/a-new-pop-up-drive-in-theater-just-over-the-hill-from-indiana-jones-house\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lark pop-up in Corte Madera\u003c/a>, the extended closure of indoor cinemas has taken a huge toll on the local moviegoing landscape. Some theaters have closed for good, like the Corte Madera Cinemark and the Raven Theater in Healdsburg—permanent casualties of the COVID-19 shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, theaters across the Bay have had to get creative to keep going. After burning through government funding and loans, \u003ca href=\"https://www.rialtocinemas.com/index.php?location=sebastopol\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rialto Cinemas\u003c/a> in Sebastopol launched a \u003ca href=\"https://www.gofundme.com/f/rialto-cinemas-needs-your-help\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fundraising campaign\u003c/a> to shore up its dwindling cash reservoir. At the time of writing, the independent theater was just $900 short of meeting its $75,000 goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Thursday will mark our seventh month of consecutive closure which is more than we could have ever imagined,” said theater owner Ky Boyd. “We’ve done everything we can to stay afloat. It’s very scary because we have no rent relief. We need support from our government and our community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the Roxie, Sloan said the past six months have been extremely tough, since around 80 percent of the theater’s income stems from ticket sales and theater rentals. She has been forced to lay off many employees, and the cinema has relied on selling tickets to virtual programs for its survival.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet Sloan said she welcomes San Francisco’s cautious approach to reopening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the Roxie does eventually open its doors again for business, Sloan said, it’ll likely be only for private rentals at first. Beyond that, she plans to send out a survey to find out what movie audiences want to see when they can finally come back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a community-driven nonprofit cinema, the community is our top priority,” Sloan said. “The safety and health of our staff and patrons mean more to us than reopening quickly.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Despite the reopening of outdoor screens here in the Bay Area, like the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13879772/hooray-you-can-go-to-the-movies-again-at-a-drive-in-theater\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Westwind Capitol Drive-In in San Jose\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13883486/a-new-pop-up-drive-in-theater-just-over-the-hill-from-indiana-jones-house\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lark pop-up in Corte Madera\u003c/a>, the extended closure of indoor cinemas has taken a huge toll on the local moviegoing landscape. Some theaters have closed for good, like the Corte Madera Cinemark and the Raven Theater in Healdsburg—permanent casualties of the COVID-19 shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, theaters across the Bay have had to get creative to keep going. After burning through government funding and loans, \u003ca href=\"https://www.rialtocinemas.com/index.php?location=sebastopol\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rialto Cinemas\u003c/a> in Sebastopol launched a \u003ca href=\"https://www.gofundme.com/f/rialto-cinemas-needs-your-help\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fundraising campaign\u003c/a> to shore up its dwindling cash reservoir. At the time of writing, the independent theater was just $900 short of meeting its $75,000 goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Thursday will mark our seventh month of consecutive closure which is more than we could have ever imagined,” said theater owner Ky Boyd. “We’ve done everything we can to stay afloat. It’s very scary because we have no rent relief. We need support from our government and our community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the Roxie, Sloan said the past six months have been extremely tough, since around 80 percent of the theater’s income stems from ticket sales and theater rentals. She has been forced to lay off many employees, and the cinema has relied on selling tickets to virtual programs for its survival.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet Sloan said she welcomes San Francisco’s cautious approach to reopening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the Roxie does eventually open its doors again for business, Sloan said, it’ll likely be only for private rentals at first. Beyond that, she plans to send out a survey to find out what movie audiences want to see when they can finally come back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The irreverence was gleeful, contagious; the heckling matched any I’ve seen in the bleachers at the Oakland Coliseum. Around us, people ate pizza and spilled drinks; our shoes stuck to the floor.

For one, its marquee could be counted on for candid messages of political protest well before our current president was elected. When I lived nearby, it always made me proud to see what particular anti-war or anti-imperialist message it might bear on a given day.

I don’t. I’m told it was \u003cem>Willow\u003c/em>, and I fell asleep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be sure, we’ve all had plenty of forgettable movie-going experiences. You know the ones: times when you feel part of a cattle call, there in line to spend $25 on fake butter and soda, all too aware of the multiplex not as a physical space but a concept—the undignified end of a corporate conveyor belt that needs you, the consumer, to not think too hard about what came before, or who’s profiting afterward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then there are the other times: times you experience cinematic magic, at a theater you will love \u003cem>from that point on\u003c/em>—because the space became personal, served as the setting for a feeling that can’t be duplicated. The Castro Theatre, with its organist, screening \u003cem>Vertigo\u003c/em> annually, then turning around and hosting hundreds of adults in taffeta for a \u003cem>The Little Mermaid\u003c/em> sing-alongs. The Roxie Theatre, with its old-school projectionists, deciding, sure, let’s have people bring their dogs to \u003cem>Isle of Dogs\u003c/em>. I think a lot about the Oaks Theatre, at the top of Solano Ave. in Berkeley, a historic space that at one point employed a half-dozen of my high school friends. I think about a photo of a couple of them grinning, standing in front of the marquee, where a manager had spelled out their names on graduation day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fact that the Oaks closed in 2010—last I checked, its space is slated to become a climbing gym—is far from an anomaly. It’s hardly news that the movie theater business has struggled to keep up since the advent of on-demand streaming, while independent movie houses, without the \u003cem>Star Wars\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Jurassic World\u003c/em> blockbusters to bring in the big bucks, get the shortest end of every stick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, as a consumer, it’s all too easy to understand the trend. I have Netflix, and Hulu, and my parents’ HBO Go password at the ready.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when I think on why the Grand Lake news feels so damn triumphant, I also remember being 8 years old—when, during the \u003ca href=\"https://www.solanoavenueassn.org/events/solano-avenue-stroll/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Solano Stroll\u003c/a>, if you weren’t the kind of kid to be in a marching band or dance troupe that actually took part in the bright, loud parade, you were likely the kind of kid who could be found at the Oaks. There, in the dark, you could stuff yourself with candy, surrounded by other kids more entranced by a movie screen than a dunk tank, watching the classic cartoons they played all day for free, just that day, once a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Who knows?

But the main thing I remember is people were drunk, hollering, and throwing popcorn at the screen by about 15 minutes in. The irreverence was gleeful, contagious; the heckling matched any I’ve seen in the bleachers at the Oakland Coliseum. Around us, people ate pizza and spilled drinks; our shoes stuck to the floor. (The old Parkway, for readers who only know of its new incarnation, was a little gross in its latter years. This was, you see, part of its charm.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don’t recall leaving that evening.

I don’t. I’m told it was \u003cem>Willow\u003c/em>, and I fell asleep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be sure, we’ve all had plenty of forgettable movie-going experiences. You know the ones: times when you feel part of a cattle call, there in line to spend $25 on fake butter and soda, all too aware of the multiplex not as a physical space but a concept—the undignified end of a corporate conveyor belt that needs you, the consumer, to not think too hard about what came before, or who’s profiting afterward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then there are the other times: times you experience cinematic magic, at a theater you will love \u003cem>from that point on\u003c/em>—because the space became personal, served as the setting for a feeling that can’t be duplicated. The Castro Theatre, with its organist, screening \u003cem>Vertigo\u003c/em> annually, then turning around and hosting hundreds of adults in taffeta for a \u003cem>The Little Mermaid\u003c/em> sing-alongs. The Roxie Theatre, with its old-school projectionists, deciding, sure, let’s have people bring their dogs to \u003cem>Isle of Dogs\u003c/em>. I think a lot about the Oaks Theatre, at the top of Solano Ave. in Berkeley, a historic space that at one point employed a half-dozen of my high school friends. I think about a photo of a couple of them grinning, standing in front of the marquee, where a manager had spelled out their names on graduation day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fact that the Oaks closed in 2010—last I checked, its space is slated to become a climbing gym—is far from an anomaly. It’s hardly news that the movie theater business has struggled to keep up since the advent of on-demand streaming, while independent movie houses, without the \u003cem>Star Wars\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Jurassic World\u003c/em> blockbusters to bring in the big bucks, get the shortest end of every stick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, as a consumer, it’s all too easy to understand the trend. I have Netflix, and Hulu, and my parents’ HBO Go password at the ready.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when I think on why the Grand Lake news feels so damn triumphant, I also remember being 8 years old—when, during the \u003ca href=\"https://www.solanoavenueassn.org/events/solano-avenue-stroll/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Solano Stroll\u003c/a>, if you weren’t the kind of kid to be in a marching band or dance troupe that actually took part in the bright, loud parade, you were likely the kind of kid who could be found at the Oaks. There, in the dark, you could stuff yourself with candy, surrounded by other kids more entranced by a movie screen than a dunk tank, watching the classic cartoons they played all day for free, just that day, once a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Who knows? Maybe some of them grew up to make movies too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12127869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-800x78.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
