Rensselaer Adventures: Free movies

Free movies

Fountain Stone Theaters is hosting free Wednesday matinees this summer, with the last one on August 14. They seemed to be drawing a good crowd.

Fountain Stone has a Facebook page and over 2000 fans, which may be the record for anyone in Rensselaer.

I am not sure that they are showing anything I want to see, and even if they are, I am not sure I would want to see it with a theater full of little kids. Here are the upcoming movies: Alvin and the Chipmunks, Aliens in the Attic, Planet 51, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Astro Boy, and Tooth Fairy. Are any of them worth seeing if the price is zero? Have any of you attended a past showing? What were your impressions?

Contacting Rensselaer Adventures

To contact Rensselaer Adventures, send e-mail to rensselaeradventures at yahoo.com. (I put the @ in there originally, and of the first eight messages I received, four were the Nigerian scam and three told me I won a lottery I never entered. Maybe this change is already too late.)

If you want to comment on any specific post, (adding information or correcting a mistake I made) please use the comment area that is available on each post. That way everyone will get to see what you think, not just me.

I would love to hear from you if you have ideas of things I can write about. Even better, if you want to contribute something, I will consider it.

I will not check this address every day, so be patient. (And I almost never check my messages on Facebook, so it you send something there, the odds are that I will not see it for weeks or months.)

Also, I encourage and appreciate comments that are informative or entertaining. However, I delete comments that I think are offensive or inappropriate (which includes spam--I delete a lot of spam).
