(Yes, from 3PM to 11PM with an hour break at 6PM during which we dashed outside to get warm and drink cocktails).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"cont\">Every summer (now going on 41 years) the Paramount has a Summer Classic Film Series where it shows classic movies often in 35mm or 70mm film, when prints are available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/wordsintobytes\/photos\/ATX_Paramount.jpg\" alt=\"photo: Paramount Theatre, Austin TX\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I love the experience of just sitting in this beautiful theater waiting for the curtain to go up. Moreover, seeing classic movies on the big screen is a delight, especially as almost everyone else who attends loves film, too, and so is respectful and engaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"cont\">Watching a film in a good theater is an immersive experience. The lights go down. Our world disappears and we enter into the movie. I feel really lucky that I can walk over to the Paramount and catch a flick. Escaping into a dark air-conditioned theater to be swept along in an adventure, comedy or drama, is one of the rituals of summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watching a film in a good theater is an immersive experience. <\/p>\n<div class=\"belowpost\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/wordsintobytes\/atx\/paramount-theater\/\">Read More<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,6,322],"tags":[30,333],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/wordsintobytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2352"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/wordsintobytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/wordsintobytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/wordsintobytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/wordsintobytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2352"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/wordsintobytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2352\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4005,"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/wordsintobytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2352\/revisions\/4005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/wordsintobytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2352"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/wordsintobytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2352"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/wordsintobytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
