Well Justin,
I am from such a town with such a movie house and your idea sounds great. Living in a smaller town where I cannot go shopping or to the bank without running in to at least one person I know, is the type of place I am. We like that about out town and actually try to not allow too many newcomers move in if we had are way. Our newspaper is about 20 pages and half of that is advertising. We are located within 25 miles of a very large city (Vancouver, BC, Canada) but most of us prefer our little town.
What you are thinking of doing would be something that myself and other people that live in my small town would appreciate. Let’s face it, the “small town vibe” is getting harder and harder to keep and those of us that love that, want to keep it that way. We also like to have cool community ideas such as yours. I say “Go for it” and you might save someone the horror of wasting a movie ticket on a crappy movie. People will also want to spend more such as snacks and treats when they have the smaller town feel to it. The more you personalize your theater, the better. Good Luck. Peace:)

I’d just like the website to be up-to-date.
My little theaters website is pathetic.

Though, I’m a little more informed then the average person. I’ve got my radio shows and podcasts giving me weekly suggestions on what to see. The average person might appreciate it though. So, why not?

Chances are, however, the people who constantly ask you for your opinion are probably computer-boob adults who wouldn’t know where to look anyways (like my parents). You’d still have to tell people either way.

For me personally it would not have any influence over what movie I would see. I watch movie trailers on TV and then go to IMDB to see the score/votes users have given and read the posts on the movie’s board. I rely more on a broad spectrum of opinion about what is “good” vs. one single person’s opinion.

Also… keep in mind if you recommend a movie as good and someone comes out and HATED it… they might ask you for their money back… since you recommended it and all

Yes that would be a good idea becuase I often look for movie reviews before I see a movie. This would be a quick and easy way to see movie times and ratings!

Yes, that is a very effective marketing tactic. It works well because the thought is that you watch all the movies you get, making you seem very saavy.
