Yeah, the feeling’s mutual, Bruce. To combat the television-is-a wasteland blues, why not check out the flick scene around town? Eugene offers both ends of the spectrum, from a megaplex movie-watching atmosphere to a more cinematheque experience. Budget-minded students are also in luck, with three locations to catch second-run films at an af fordable cost. In the intimate, avant-garde cat egory, one movie theater truly fits the bill. The Bijou Art Cinema, 492 E. 13th Ave., presents the weird, the wacky, the poignant, the intense and, occasionally, the incomprehensible moments on celluloid. And you can usually find all of those during just one of the Bijou’s foreign film offerings. Seriously, the Bijou serves up a nice array of films throughout die year, and a movie buff is usually pleased with its line-up. One drawback to the Bijou, however, is that movies don’t stick around very long. If a foreign or off-beat showing catches your fancy, go that night because the movie might not be there the next time you think about attending. Prices for Bijou movies are also more affordable than others in town. Sunday through Wednes day, admission is $4.50 for all showings. Thursday through Sat urday the price jumps to $6. Sat urday and Sunday matinees are $3. Late night showings at the Bi jou — usually major studio releas es in their second-run — are $2 Sunday through Wednesday and $3 the rest of the week. Call 686 2458 or go to www.bijoucine mas.com for more information. The McDonald Theatre, at 1010 Willamette St., is another small venue and has recently switched its format to one similar to the Bi jou, meaning a heavy focus on art films. A plus for the McDonald is that it’s a bigger theater than the Bijou. In addition, there’s a nice balcony at the McDonald to *check out. The downside is that the theater has no on-site parking, so unless you can find a free spot — or bet ter yet, ride your bike or take the bus — you usually have to pay for metered parking during certain hours. Daily admission prices for Mc Donald are $3.50 for matinees be fore 6 p.m. and $6.50 for shows af ter 6 p.m. Students with a current ID get in for $5. Call 344-4343 for information. The larger movie theaters in town are all quite a trek from the University district. Cinema World 8 is located at 1087 Valley River Way, across from the Valley River Center, and provides mainstream films, such as a Julia Roberts or an Adam San dler vehicle. Nothing too special about Cinema World, except that all day Monday, movies are mati nee-priced. Admission here is $6.50 for regular shows after 6 p.m., $3.50 for matinees (and Mondays) and $5 for students. Call 342-6536 for information. West of the University, out 11th Avenue at 808 Seneca St., you’ll find Movieland 6. This theater is in need of some serious repairs and will get a facelift — or per haps a brand-new building — sometime before next summer, says management. While in operation, though, ex pect to pay the same prices as everywhere else: $6.50 after 6 p.m., $3.50 for matinees and $5 for students. Movieland also of fers the $3.50 Monday deal.
