During the seventies, I would frequently go dumpster-diving with friends. Back then, many theaters threw away tons of movie memorabilia. I don't remember what the hell happened to all that stuff.
These days, it's a rare occurrence to find a theater with double or triple features... or swag.
I really miss watching two or three films in a row. Sure, you can do it at home, but we all know it's a completely different experience.
