Alright, so you wanna know about this new movie theater in Panama City, huh? Well, let me tell ya, it ain’t as simple as plantin’ corn, that’s for sure. But I’ll do my best to explain it to ya like I’m talkin’ to my neighbor over the fence.
First off, there’s a bunch of movie places in Panama City, not just one new one. It’s like tryin’ to count chickens in a coop, they’re all over the place! You got places like “The Grand 16” over at Pier Park. Sounds fancy, don’t it? Pier Park… like you’d be watchin’ movies right on the water. Probably got them fancy seats too, the kind that recline, so you can put your feet up like you’re sittin’ on your porch swing.
Then there’s that “Regal” place, the one on West 23rd Street. Sounds like a mouthful, don’t it? Regal Regency… sounds like somethin’ the Queen would go to. But I bet it’s just a regular movie place, with popcorn and soda and all that jazz. They got another one too, just called “Regal Regency Panama City”, sounds like the same darn place to me, but who knows with these city folk.

Now, if you’re lookin’ to buy tickets, they say you can get ’em online. Saves you the trouble of standin’ in line, I guess. Kinda like orderin’ seeds from a catalog instead of goin’ to the feed store. They say it’s easy, and you can compare prices, just like when you’re shoppin’ for the best deal on fertilizer. They also say somethin’ about no cancellation fees, which is good, ’cause sometimes things just come up, you know? Like when the cow gets out and you gotta chase her all over the pasture, ain’t nobody got time for movies then.
And get this, they got some newfangled movie stuff over there in Panama City. They call it “4DX.” Now, I ain’t never seen nothin’ like it, but they say the seats move around! Can you imagine? Like you’re ridin’ a buckin’ bronco while you’re watchin’ a movie! And they got wind and fog and even smells! Sounds like a whole lot of fuss to me, but I guess some folks like that kinda thing. It’s like puttin’ extra butter on your popcorn, some folks like it, some folks don’t.
They also talk about somethin’ called “IMAX.” Apparently, that’s for the big movies, the ones with lots of explosions and whatnot. They say the sound is real good, like you’re right there in the middle of it all. Kinda like when a thunderstorm rolls through, and the thunder rattles the windows, except you’re paying for this noise on purpose. I don’t know how they do it, must be some kind of magic, like makin’ a good apple pie.
So, if you’re plannin’ on goin’ to the movies in Panama City, you got plenty of choices. You can go to the fancy place at Pier Park, or the Regal place on 23rd Street. You can buy your tickets online, and you can even try out that 4DX thing if you’re feelin’ adventurous. Just remember to bring your own snacks, ’cause them movie theater snacks are expensive as a new tractor! And don’t forget to turn off your phone, nobody wants to hear it ringin’ in the middle of a good movie, it’s ruder than a rooster crowin’ at 3am.
Just remember, whether you’re watchin’ a movie in Panama City, or sittin’ on your porch watchin’ the sunset, the important thing is to relax and enjoy yourself. Life’s too short to be stressed out, like a hen tryin’ to hatch a golf ball.
So there ya have it, that’s all I know about this new movie theater business down in Panama City. It ain’t rocket science, but it’s somethin’ to chew on, like a good piece of jerky.
