I
used
to
come
to
this
theater
as
a
kid,
having
lived
a
few
blocks
up
the
street.
I
was
too
young
to
see
the
Planet
of
the
Apes
here,
but
saw
the
Vinetou
series
which
shaped
my
childhood.
Coming
back
to
Prague,
after
40
years,
and
rediscovering
my
old
neighborhood
which
has
hardly
changed,
aside
from
the
addition
of
pizza,
kebab
and
Vietnamese
restaurants
not
here
during
communist
era.
I
was
hoping
the
theater
was
still
here.
...and,
to
my
surprise,
it
was.
A
ton
of
memories.
A
great
art
house
film
theater.
Sure
the
seats
aren't
that
comfortable
for
watching
a
4
hour
Once
upon
a
time
in
America
film..but
the
nostalgia
remains.
I
was
also
surprised
that
new
release.
American
movies
were
hardly
filling
this
theater
when
I
attended
the
second
time.
I
counted
less
than
a
dozen
for
a
first
week
showing
of
Brad
Pitt's
Bullet
Train.
The
audience
audibly
reacting
to
the
usual
American
film
violence.
The
confectioners
store
next
door,
where
mom
would
buy
me
a
laskonka
before
the
show
is
now
a
local
pub...and
they
spiffed
up
the
inside
of
the
theater
with
a
bar
and
some
pre
show
food
and
drink
options.
Thank
you
for
preserving
this
theater.
I
had
a
great
time.
