63. THEATER DYNOMITE

Theater Dynomite sits in the ground floor of an apartment building.  The theater mostly shows whatever old films it can get its hands on, and has a pretty good collection of old movies.  On Friday nights, at the insistence of its owner, Shogun, the theater plays a double feature of old Kung Fu or samurai flicks from his personal collection, and on Saturday night they play a double feature of old blaxploitation flicks.

The charge to see a movie here is a dollar per person, or 5 bullets, a can of food will pay for up to 4 people.  Popcorn is made fresh, and the theater sells pizza made at Solid Soul as well.  In addition to soda, beer is also available.  Seating in the balcony on a Friday or Saturday night is an invitation only affair, as it is reserved for Shogun and the rest of Bushido.

The theater itself is a pretty simple affair, and except for the posters in the lobby it lacks the style of the rest of Shoguns businesses, however it is an extremely profitable business for Shogun, as it is one of the few places that provide entertainment that doesn’t involve putting someone’s life at risk.  On Sunday mornings, Shogun will often set up an encore presentation of the movies shown on Friday and Saturday night in the Dojo, as there are no classes held that day.

 

The theater is run By Disco Dave, and usually staffed by Shoguns students looking to make a quick buck or to pay their tuition.
