Experiences at the Movie Fan and The Normal Theater

Since I live ten minutes away from Bloomington-Normal, there is no doubt that I haven’t been to the Normal Theater or the Movie Fan.  The last time I went to the Normal Theater was about a month ago.  A couple friends invited me to go see Lars Von Trier’s new film called Melancholia.  It starred Kirsten Dunst and William Hurt.  I remember walking up to the both and finding out that the Normal Theater did not take debit cards.  So I had to ask my friend to pay for me.  I felt very guilty.  After we got into the movie theater I first noticed the nice vintage, leather seats.  My friends and I grab a row towards the top of the theater.  It was a very interesting movie.  I thought it was very artsy.  But apparently thats the usual thing for Lars Von Trier films.  
The last time I was at the Movie Fan I rented Paranormal Activity 3 and Munich.  While walking back to my dorm to watch them, I got a phone call.  It was the dude from The Movie Fan and apparently I had left my debit card there.  I turned around and went straight back and grabbed my card.  The dudes that work there are very nice.  Another reason I like that movie rental place is because the movies are good quality.  Sometimes when renting at family video or blockbuster I find that the dvd is scratched and in bad condition.  I can tell the Movie Fan employees have a deep passion for movies and the care of them.  
Every time I am in downtown Normal I always walk by the Normal Theater and look at the current months schedule and try to find a movie that I might make some time for.  I really enjoy the theater and always try to find time to go and see a movie there.
