Wow! "American Graffiti" at the Loma! Live Kung Fu demonstration at the Campus Drive-in! Bruce Lee and "Soul of Nigger Charlie" at the Balboa! A triple feature at the Plaza ("Deliverance" and "Silent Running" easily trumping "Pancho Villa"). Vonnegut and Hitchcock at the Academy in North Park (which I only attended a couple of times when it was a porn house, albeit a lavishly outfitted and "upscale" porn house).

Plus, golden age flicks at the Cinema Leo (where I'm told they had mats you could lay on to watch the movies), and "Billy Jack" for 75 cents at the Strand in OB! And Mann's State Theater on El Cajon Blvd was screening "an x-rated film in full color." Not to mention the obscure houses like the Jerry Lewis Theaters in Spring Valley and Chula Vista, which look like they got great bookings ("Live and Let Die," "Day of the Jackal," same as at the big Mann theaters), and obscure movies at the Tower and the Vogue.

I would have been at the movies every night this week!
 

I "love" that the Tribune (and the Union) would run ads for movies with titles like "The Soul of Nigger Charley" or "Boss Nigger," but when it came to revealing the name of an 'X-Rated film in Color,' that was TOOOOOOO much and against the decency the Tribune prided itself on.
These ads, of course appearing in papers supporting Richard Nixon in the darkest days of Watergate.
That said, this was a pretty cool week at the movies...
You never would have gotten me out of the theaters.

Also, not pictured are the Pacific Theaters ads: 'This is Cinerama' was at the Cinerama and 'Jesus Christ Superstar' was at the Cinema Grossmont. Trip out with the Lord!
