- I like it! I would’ve gone with something similar but I wasn’t sure that including the name of someone pretty obscure would be a good hook. I wanted to focus more on the movie theatre itself opening but I’m not super experience in the DYK realm so happy to take advice! Kazamzam (talk) 00:43, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
