So many people are posting on social media how sad they are that Palladium Cinema, Tunapuna is closing after decades, but how many of them continued to support Globe and it's sister movie houses after MovieTowne, Cinemas 8 and IMAX opened?
I can proudly say that I have never been to MovieTowne (though I live a stone's throw from it), or Cinemas 8. I've been to IMax once. I continued to support Globe throughout the past decades plus right up to the current Planet of the Apes movie.
So don't go crying now that the owner is shutting the doors. You expect him to keep it open with dwindling crowds just to keep your precious memories alive? Moral of the story–you didn't support, now it's gone. Save the crocodile tears.
