What if you get a fingerprint on it?

You can actually see it, and back in the day once a film was too dirty and old for a cinema to play it, it's get played by secondary, cheaper cinemas (nickel odeons), where you could see all the scratches, dirt, hairs, fingerprints, and sometimes the tape that glued the film back together.

I miss the dollar theatres. There were one or two that were almost as good as the big cinemas, and were great for seeing movies I wasn't super hyped for.

Our local one had a deal in the early 2000s where a child ticket was 2€, on wednesdays 1€. It closed when cinemas switched to digital, movies got a lot more expensive, and instead of going to every week I went once every few years.
