Alright, so you wanna know about them movies in Coos Bay, huh? Lemme tell ya, it ain’t like livin’ in the big city with them fancy theaters everywhere. But we got movies, yeah, we do.
First off, if you’re lookin’ for what’s playin’, you gotta do some lookin’ around. I ain’t got no fancy phone or nothin’, but my grandkid, that little whippersnapper, he’s always tappin’ away on that thing. He says you can use that Google thing or that Bing thing. Search engines, he calls ’em. Sounded like a train to me at first, but whatever. You type in “movies playin’ in Coos Bay” and it’ll tell ya. That’s what he says, anyway.
- Findin’ showtimes: Now, findin’ out when them movies is playin’, that’s another story. You gotta look for “showtimes,” they call it. It’s like a schedule, but fancier. You can find it online, same way you find the movies.
- Theaters ’round here: We got a couple theaters. Not like them big ol’ megaplexes you see on TV, but they got screens and seats and popcorn, so that’s good enough for me. Just search for “movie theaters near Coos Bay” and you’ll see ’em. They ain’t hard to find, this ain’t New York City, ya know.
Now, some folks, they like to know what’s good before they go. My neighbor, Martha, she’s always fussin’ about readin’ them movie reviews. Says she don’t wanna waste her money on a bad movie. I just go and see what looks interestin’, but Martha, she’s different. She says you can find what people think about the movies online too, what they call “ratings.” They got these stars, see? More stars, the better the movie is, I guess. So if you see a movie with lots of stars, that’s probably a good one. Or so they say.
New movies? Yeah, we get ’em. Not always right away, mind you. Sometimes them big city folks see ’em first, but we get ’em eventually. So if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ new, you can search for “new movies in theaters near Coos Bay” and see what’s comin’ out. Or just ask around. Word gets around in a small town like this.
And if you’re one of them fancy types who likes to buy tickets ahead of time, there’s this thing called Fandango. Sounds like a dance to me, but my grandkid says it’s for buyin’ movie tickets on that phone of his. He showed me once, all them buttons and colors, made my head spin. But you can find showtimes and buy tickets that way, if you’re into that sort of thing.
Best movies? Well, that’s a matter of taste, ain’t it? Like I said, I just go with my gut, but some folks like to see what other people think is best. You can search for “best movies now playing in theaters” and see what comes up. They got these lists and stuff. Again, it’s all about them ratings and reviews, I guess.
So, to sum it up, if you want to find movies in Coos Bay, you gotta do a little searchin’. Look for movies, showtimes, theaters, and maybe even some reviews. And if you got one of them fancy phones, you can do it all on that thing. Me? I just ask my grandkid. He knows all about this stuff.
And don’t forget the zip code, 97420 that’s us. Helps findin’ things easier they say. You can also just search for movies and “Coos%2520bay” like those youngsters do. That’s what they say, makes it more accurate. Whatever it is I just want to see a movie on Saturday, that’s what.
Anyways, go on, get yourself to a movie. It’s a good way to pass the time, especially when it’s rainin’ like it always does around here.
