Common Action as well as the folks at Anarchist Bookfairs are social anarchists, also known as libertarian socialists, and we generally see ourselves as having little political affinity with libertarians. I contest the word anarcho or anarchist being used to describe libertarians because anarchism is inherently anti-capitalist and calling something capitalist "anarchist" erases the history of anarchist social movements. Libertarians already appropriated the word "libertarian" from social anarchists, I'd rather not give up the term "anarchist" too.Lake Desirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15499793719760918061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805311149576537040.post-64508443070247153712009-10-25T16:16:07.262-07:002009-10-25T16:16:07.262-07:00Where's the libertarian / anarcho-capitalist a...Where's the libertarian / anarcho-capitalist anarchy stuff?

When they opened the doors and we went in, the only spot large enough to handle 4 of us together was either in the first three rows or the back row, so we opted for the back row about 1/4th of the way across on the right (as viewed from the screen). From that location the ceiling mounted speaker above us in the back corner totally dominated the experience, there was no balance. It seems as if those upper rear speakers are being relied on for most of the bass in the entire theater, rather than distributing the sound more evenly. Wandering around the theater during the closing credits, we realized that quite a bit of the theater around the edges and in front was not very desirable seating due to sound or view angles. Certainly most of those seats were not worth the 40%-50% premium over the regular screens. Because of the relatively short runs each movie is being given on those screens, most showings we could make it to are selling-out, thus in addition to the increased ticket price we would have to spend at least an additional hour in line for good seating. It just isn't worth that to us.<br /><br />What would it take to bring us in regularly? (we are big movie buffs)<br /><br />Reserved seating. If we could pick our seats at the time we booked on-line then we would probably catch most movies offered in IMAX, secure that we could show up 10-15min before the showing and be happy with the experience.<br /><br />I realize that reserved seating itself offers some challenges, as when people see the only seats left are less desirable they might not purchase, leaving you with non-sold-out showings. I believe you could address that by one of two methods.<br />1) Only make the most desirable block of seats near the center reserved seating, once those were sold out the rest are general admission.<br />OR<br />2) Tiered pricing based on seat desirability.Scottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805311149576537040.post-55608171746361113652009-03-01T16:48:00.000-08:002009-03-01T16:48:00.000-08:00I have posted the Outlander Q&A as a podcast. ...I have posted the Outlander Q&A as a podcast.

I also loved Jetse de Vries fact article Blinded by the Light, part 2 (#57, part 1) about culling sf slush for his SHINE anthology (optimistic sf). Learn how to make whiskey and write sf simultaneously — brilliantly odd. I also checked out Sturgis' science fiction history segment in #58, an overview of early feminist utopias including Mizora, New Amazonia, Arctique and Herland.
