From the Balcony
When we show a movie for a week or more, people often avoid opening weekend, worried that it will be over-crowded. In fact, enough people tend to do this that the opening weekend is often the least crowded time to see the movie. So if you want to see Wonder Woman, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2, or more recently Dunkirk as soon a MORE >

Into every life, a little change must come. The last time we changed the pop prices at The Clyde was to add the $0.50 water option two years ago. Before that, it’s been… I’m not even sure. A long time. Maybe since we added the larger large size? Unfortunately, syrup prices have been steadily creeping up during that time, and MORE >

At the start of a new year, the three blood-born Willefords who can speak (the Little One still has a ways to go) get together and talk about their favorite movies from the previous year. Each of us always has at least one movie on our list that makes the other two go “huh?” (usually me in particular). And we always have a couple of mov MORE >

“I am big. It’s the pictures that got small.” –Sunset Boulevard. In this age of digital media, there are some movies that transcend the TV screen, and demand to be seen in the theatre. Whether they’re just too beautiful for the small screen, improved by the laughter or others, or you something you want to talk to your MORE >

Star Wars: The Force Awakens opened December 18. It opens at The Clyde on January 15. Why did it take nearly a month to get the hottest movie ever to South Whidbey?

While we try to keep showtimes consistent so that we don’t confuse customers (and so that we–okay I–don’t get confused too), sometimes we have to shift a showtime around. This didn’t used to be a problem, because most movies were a brisk 90 minutes and the extra-long opus was a rarity. Now, however, a lot of movies c MORE >

Clyde passes make perfect Christmas gifts (though they’re also very popular at Mother’s Day and Father’s Day as well). In fact they make a most thoughtful gift for the spouse who has to drag you to the movies, showing a real respect for his/her tastes. Here’s the deal. Passes ($7, or just $5 for those under 17 or over 65) and Sn MORE >
