So by the time Robert Pattinson was masturbating a quarter of the way through the film, I was laying horizontally on the ground, the carpeting pressed against my cheek, and I could actually hear audible groans coming from the theater at this point, but that just may have been the sound of Robert Pattinson achieving completion.

So after the movie, needless to say, I raced into the lobby and I tried as much as I could not to make eye contact with anyone as they shuffled out of the theater, their eyes wide, their cowboy hats pressed tightly against their chest. And I really believed if I just don't move, if I stand perfectly still, maybe nobody will be able to see me.

Kind of like that scene with the T-Rex in Jurassic Park. Not a super auspicious start. A question we got a lot after that was, are you going to show new movies? These were new movies, just indie movies that nobody had heard of. We couldn't show big-budget films because we couldn't afford to, but that's not why we had opened the theater in the first place. That's not what we wanted to do.

We really believed if we show good movies, we can earn the community's trust, our community's trust, even if we were showing subtitled documentaries about whale hunting in the Faroe Islands. If you build it, they will come, became our mantra. But no one came. Night after night, I'd flip the switch on in the theater and it would reveal maybe one, maybe two people in the auditorium.

And so, we relented. We showed John Wayne. And everybody came, they really loved John Wayne, and I remember getting swept up in the excitement, and I decided that this time I'll sit in the theater with everyone.

We showed the movie The Quiet Man, which if you haven't seen, it's a classic story, boy moves back to Ireland, boy meets girl, boy meets girl's brother, boy fights girl's brother, and in the end everyone is happy and friends for life. It's a movie I've seen many times, and I've enjoyed it every time I've seen it.

But watching it that night, in that town, in that theater, the screen framed by the silhouettes of cowboy hats, watching John Wayne physically drag and shove Maureen O'Hara the five miles back from the train station, it felt different. And I'm a fan of John Ford, and I actually love John Wayne, and it is just a movie.
