I've hoped many times. The Cinemall is usually good about bringing in the more popular small films if they get good press.

The big theater in Johnson City used to get some of the smaller films, but they stopped doing even that.

What makes it worse around here is that you'll have a film in Coeburn for several weeks and then they'll show it at the drive-in for a weekend or two.

I don't mind Coeburn's theater that much. There are some funky smells, but it isn't that bad. The theater in Wise is horrible.

I just don't see anything changing with a new location. Having the same owners will result in the same trends. Children's movies, stupid comedies that appeal to the lowest common denominator, cheesy horror flicks and the occasional decent film.

Does he have a brother named Adam that works for Verizon? If so, I work with him. Seems like I heard that "arcade space" comment from somebody at work he'd spoken about it with. </div></div>

He does have a brother named Adam, don't know exactly where he works but that is his name.
