Ok, this is worth breaking my hiatus over - because your story reminded me of something about my Shutter Island experience I totally forgot about.

We've been going to the theater where we saw it for years. It's the relatively new Pacific in now-hip downtown Culver City. They string rope and stanchions across the wide lobby to take your ticket before you hit the snack bar area. But this time, they moved that way back to the narrow bottleneck between the snack bar and the auditoriums. Makes much more sense, and we told the ticket takers so, and they remarked on the positive change.


After the film, we come out to find the ticket taker position back where it always has been, and all the mile-wide ropes and stanchions in place. We asked why they had moved it back when the new location made so much sense, and they looked at us like we were insane.

We felt so frelling weird and gaslighted for a few moments - then went outside the theater and fell down laughing.







But, like flippy, i didn't buy it at all. There's no way the staff, the doctors, the patients, the guards and the nazis were all in on it, and let crazy Leo have run of the place. Nope - did not fly. And kinda ruined, for me, a movie I liked.


But I totally don't put it past the theater staff to have messed with our minds for fun and sport.
