Alright, let’s talk about them movie places in New Bedford, you know, where you go to watch them pictures move on the big screen. Folks call ‘em “movie theaters” or “cinemas” these days, all fancy-like. But back in my day, we just called ‘em picture shows, and they weren’t nothin’ like what you got now.
First off, you got a whole bunch of ‘em theaters around here. I hear tell of some fancy names, like AMC Dartmouth Mall 11, Showcase Cinemas Seekonk Route 6, Picture Show at SouthCoast Market Place, and some older ones like Strand Theatre and Plimoth Cinema. Don’t ask me where they all are exactly, I ain’t got no fancy GPS in my head. But folks say you can find movie showtimes and all that online, or maybe in the newspaper, if them young’uns still print them.
Now, these new theaters, they show all sorts of movies. They got them superhero ones, where fellas fly around and smash things. They got them scary ones, that make you jump out of your seat. And they got them lovey-dovey ones, where folks kiss and cry a lot. I even heard tell of somethin’ called Netflix, where they got new movies comin’ out all the time, especially around Christmas they say. Sounds like a lot of fuss to me, but them young’uns seem to like it.
Back in my day, a picture show was a simple thing. You paid your nickel, maybe a dime, and you sat on a hard wooden bench. The screen was small, and the picture flickered a lot. But we didn’t care, we were just happy to be there, seein’ somethin’ different. Sometimes they even had a fella playin’ the piano durin’ the movie, makin’ up music as he went. That was somethin’ special.
- These days, you got choices to make when you go to a movie.
- You gotta pick what time you wanna go, what movie you wanna see, and where you wanna sit.
- They even got them fancy seats now, that recline and got footrests and such.
And speakin’ of seats, folks are always arguin’ about the best place to sit. Some like to be right up front, so they can feel like they’re part of the movie. But I always say that’s bad for your eyes and neck, you’ll be strainin’ somethin’ fierce tryin’ to see the whole screen that close. Others like to be in the back, so they can see everything that’s going on. But then you might have some tall fella sittin’ in front of you, blockin’ your view. Now, I hear tell that the best seat is in the middle, about two-thirds of the way back. That way you ain’t strainin’ your neck and you can see and hear everything real good. Some folks even say the second or third row from the back in the middle is the best, so you might want to try that if you don’t know where to park yourself. Makes sense to me, I guess.
So, if you’re lookin’ for a good time, head on down to one of them movie theaters in New Bedford. You can see a new movie, eat some popcorn, and forget about your troubles for a little while. Just remember to pick a good seat, or you might end up with a crick in your neck! And don’t be forgettin’ to check what movies are playin’ and where they’re playin’ at. You can find all that information online these days, or maybe even in that newspaper thingamajig.
Finding the best movie in New Bedford is another thing folks are always jawin’ about. You got places like AMC Dartmouth Mall 11, and then there’s Aha!, Zeiterion Theatre and even places like Boston Studio Rental, Play Arcade, and the New Bedford Fishing Heritage Center, though I don’t know if they show movies or what. Folks go on and on about user ratings and release dates and all that, but I say just go see somethin’ that looks interestin’ to you. Don’t let nobody tell you what to like.
And don’t forget to check what’s new this week at the theaters. They’re always changin’ the movies, so there’s somethin’ new to see all the time. You can even watch movie trailers now, little short clips that give you a taste of what the movie is about. Back in my day, you just went to the picture show and hoped for the best. But I guess that’s progress for ya, always makin’ things more complicated.
Anyways, that’s all I got to say about movie theaters in New Bedford. Go see a movie, have some fun, and don’t forget your sweater, it can get chilly in them places.
