It does tend to fill up. When a line forms they ask how many people are together so they can try to fit you in...I think I was only there once and I was only with one friend at the time so they said they thought we might be able to find two seats together and we couldn't even manage that at first so we had to sit nearby but not right together...but then I think we moved. So yeah, it can be sort of crowded and inconvenient, but it is awfully nice to be able to sit down and relax in the A/C. We watched some of Pan's Labyrinth. My friend also watched some Flight of the Conchords in there at a different time.
Yes, they have shown the NBA finals, usually it occurs roughly around Roo every year. In '06 when they had the World Cup, they showed World Cup games in the movie tent as well.

Not a stand in line guy so once they closed it I was done with it. If I were ever to go by and not see a waitting time of more than thirty mins I'd stop hang out an wait.
That brings up an excellent point. I was there for that particular movie, too. Unless they've managed to somehow solve the problem, beware subtitled movies. Basically, the first few rows could read the bottom of the screen, while no one else could. They stopped the movie and did try to adjust the screen (which was actually a bunch of mini-screens stacked together to form one picture, so it was impossible to just raise the image itself). Nothing worked. They eventually let a bunch of people move up in front of the screen barricade and sit on the ground, to see. Not the most comfortable place to be, staring straight up at a screen above you.
Oh, and gentle warning: don't try sitting on the ground in front of the first row of seats or in the middle or center aisles. Fire laws don't allow it and they will most definitely tell you to move. We were lucky they allowed folks in front of the screen barrier when the subtitle issue started.

After waiting in line for Dave attell for like 2hrs with minimal shade I dont think I will be watching any movies. Fear and loathing would be great I have yet to see" across the universe" yet.looks good

Agreed! I almost mentioned that in my post too. My friend and I were all the way in the back so the subtitles were completely blocked. We both speak Spanish, not quite fluently but pretty well, but even so we hard a hard time following along.
^yes, that is an amazing movie. and with the subtitle thing, i went see borat last year and had a hard time understaning everything since i couldn't see the subtitles....and i don't think the sound was that loud or something...

I caught the tail end of Pans labrynth and then started watching the montreal pop festival, and dozed off. I was woken up by someone saying i could stay there, so i stumbled back to my tent. But i am definatly going to watch fear and loathing, i dont care what i miss to see it, that move is tailor made for roo.
I spent a little time in the cinema tent last year. Couches + free popcorn + A/C = a good chance to relax for a bit, but I try to limit my time in there. I don't go to 'Roo to watch movies after all!
Apart from the Ac why would anyone waste time in the movie tent?
ac is the only reason we went - last year - the first year - there were couches - I don't remember seeing couches last year - just lots of metal folding chairs and I never got popcorn either

Ah, so it's a bunch of TVs stacked on each other ala Best Buy? I was really excited over possibly seeing Pulp Fiction and/or Fear&Loathing on a movie screen. Oh well. Have people smoked in the cinema tent in past years?
And I have to say, I thought Across the Universe blew. The soundtrack wasn't too bad, but the movie just didn't do it for me. A few songs were cool, but I thought most of them were meh. But seeing an unlit joint being passed around was one of the funniest things ever.
