Since I don't work there anymore, I want to post on this, since it shows up when you google my name.

Anyways, the story is we all saw the film at a film conference and it was not so thrilling,I thought it was boring. The decision to not show it was b/c we felt it wouldn't make money b/c it was boring. We showed Galapagos the year before, b/c it was a great and interesting film.

Also,the Volcanoes movie reps were going to make my manager sign a contract where we would have to show the film 6 times a day. AT the time we already had 3 other contracts with other films, so there was no way to fit in the 6 showings without going against a previously signed contract.

I believe in evolution and think it should be taught in schools!

Thanks, Laura!

5. Oh dear...I thought the Imax was out of business

Must of been one of those things out of business for a minute and back in business the next. That is certainly a form of censorship Bible belt or not!

6. Please look at the date on that OP

It's from 2005. Yes, our IMAXX closed in September of this year and there are no plans to reopen it.

7. To bad ya know that was one if the things Charleston thought

it was ready for and was not...I understand it was quite pricey! I am really bad about looking at dates.

8. Yes, it was too expensive for those who live here.

The shorts (which most of the offerings were) were 45 minutes or less and averaged $8. Full length movies were considerably more. All movies are expensive these days but if you were a family of 4 making an average wage in this town, it would take you most of a year to save up to go see something like Polar Express or Harry Potter.

Our aquarium's in trouble financially because of its entry price of $14/adult. It can't make enough from tourist revenues. Family memberships aren't so bad but still run in the $70-$100/yr. When you can get a gold pass to all the county parks (I think there's 7 of them) including entry to splash zones (but the individual water park with wave pools and slides and stuff is a separate fee) that will allow entry for up to 15 persons in a vehicle for less than $100/yr, the decision when you have kids isn't hard.

9. I have often wondered WTF is happening in Charleston.

Born & raised in Charleston, have been in Massachusetts since college and I have to say that the prices of homes in Charleston amazes me! My last visit home was in 2005. The city looks great, BTW.
I am always looking at prices of homes because I would like to have a winter home there and am shocked as shit at the outrageous prices. And I thought homes were pricey here! Who the heck are these folks plunking down 3 million plus for a home downtown? There can't be that many doctors & lawyers. It can't all be retiring Northerners. Or can it?
The aquarium was great. I really thought they did a lovely job.
