Goodfellas - Cinépolis 

I didn’t even know this theater existed and there’s two of them. I mean it’s kinda a long drive for me in either location. 

It looks pretty fancy but they are showing Goodfellas for $5 so maybe a nice way to check it out if you’re not doing anything else and really wanna see Goodfellas.

Thursday 9/28

I probably wouldn’t be allowed in that magical bathhouse because I have tattoos.
