I couldn't have been happier with the Cinema Tent this year. When I saw that Pete Seeger: The Power of Song, one of my fav music documentaries, was playing both Friday and Saturday, I was ecstatic. I watched both showings, along with catching a great surfing movie Thursday and the Primus documentary Saturday.
All in all I felt they had a great variety of films, and it was a great place to escape the oppressive sun at times.

I really wanted to find time to check out the Anvil movie and maybe a bit of Lebowski fest, but never made it over there. Hopefully they will make the Lebowski fest an regular feature and I will catch it someday.

i stumbled into the cinema tent after a few songs from St.Vincent. It was sooo hot and I needed to rest a little. They were doing the Don Hertzfeldt screening and that was some wacky stuff. I only stayed for maybe an hour because I was worried I would have bad dreams later. Bonnaroo is no place for a bad dream.
"It's hard to say whether seeing Kellz backed by Jim James and his lion's mane hairdo or Billy Idol rocking out next to John Oates and his soul patch was weirder to watch. Let's just say both were beautifully bizarre sights to behold."
Lebowski fest was not what I expected, but it was nice to get out of the heat for an hour or so, and watch a film.
No White Russians, though... >.<
The two guys dressed up as bowling pins, and having people throw that bag out of the car was almost too much on a head full of corn...... I stood there for about an hour watching the madness....

I only went in once the whole weekend, but I enjoyed the redesign. Nice idea to have bleachers in the back like that. I was sad to see the couches gone, but it always bothered me how people would take up a whole one for hours at a time sleeping off their hangovers. I never once saw an available couch; I assume one person would just roll someone else off and take it.
i loved the cinema. i went in every morning to get some cool air and a beer. loved seeing the joe strummer documentary, the simpsons movie, and the primus movie rocked! love you cinema!

People were like vultures for the couches. Anytime someone on a couch even moved.....people all around started grabbing their belongings and slightly getting out of their seat while staring at the couch.......waiting for a chance to pounce.
Yea the couches were comfy but I think the redesign was done to try to avoid having people sleep in the movie tents. I know in 06 and 07 I spent some of my nights there......in the air conditioning and soft floor. This year there was some hard wood and no couches so I guess that's one reason for the redesign.
I just wish it was easier to get in and out. We popped in for a few to get out of the rain but we basically had to climb over people to get into the seats in the bleachers because there were no aisles on the ends. The sight-lines were great and I liked the addition of concessions, though. In all we only spent about twenty minutes there all weekend.
cinema tent was awesome. saturady night/sunday morning i coudln't sleep and wandere out to see if what i was hearing was still music and it was moe! i was so happy because we'ddecided to skip them in favor of sleep since we were all beat and i'd been feeling sick. afterward i wandered into te cinema tent and saw the end of teen wolf and the whole simpsons movie. never got arund to seeing the simpsons movie so it was a real treat.
the cinema tent was nice. dark and cool and dry. plenty of chair space for me to prop up my feet and let my toe socks dry out a bit. a guy came in with two little kids just in time for the simpsons, they were in their jammies. so cute.
we packed up early sunday after hearing about the supposed hailstorm, and we planned on sleeing in cinema sunday night or in the car. endedup in the car. i gues cinema closes 7pm sunday. boo hoo.
it was a great tent, and nice that it was my own private "alone time", my secret little thing i got to experience all by myself while husband and kiddo slept. yay cinema.
