| The Movie Theater is a featured article, which means it showcases an important part of the Homestar Runner body of work and/or highlights the fine work of this wiki. We also might just think it's cool. If you see a way this page can be updated or improved without compromising previous work, feel free to contribute. |

[edit] Theater or Theatre?
"Theatre" isn't in my webster's dictionary. Should this be change to "theater"? --TheYellowDart—(t/c)
- "Theatre" is an alternate spelling that should appear in any good dictionary. - Qermaq - (T/C)

- Wiktionary confirms what I suspected: in US Englilsh, "theatre" primarily refers to live performances, while "theater" is usually used for cinema. I say this article should be moved to The Movie Theater.

[edit] Change the picture?
- Should there be a picture change with the gang at the movies in the movies instead of the out-of-date Coach Z one. To me, a screenshot of more characters in it would be better. --TheYellowDart—(t/c) 02:54, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

I added a new screen from the movies--~ SlipStream 12:00, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Under the Field?
What about the picture of the movie theater when strong bad has blown a hole in the roof and we find out it is actually under the field? Surely that would be appropiate. I think it was in the easter egg for the movies.

[edit] The movies movie
In the movies, they were watching "forty-twan" according to Senor Cartgage, and according to Strong Sad there was a pre-quel to it. So that's why I added it to the list of movies Nihaho13 00:13, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
