This report (Arabic) says that Riyadh will have it's first cinema theater launched by the first day of Eid Alfitr. The report says that the hotel hosted cinema will be big enough to take 1400 viewer at a time and will have three shows a day. That's all the good news. The bad funny news is the films. The cinema will show ONLY CARTOON MOVIES (in Arabic duologue). hahahaha… Hold on, hold on… the cinema will be dedicated to Females and kids ONLY.
It's really funny to hear this type of news. What are they afraid of? The type of content? In other words, adult sceneries (kisses, dance, boobs, etc…), or uncovered female head?
I just can't understand this double standards and closed mind Mullah's. Saudi businessmen (and officials) sponsors and owns the most wide and seen network of TV channels in the Arab world. All type of TV shows exist, starting from religious, to not less than xx movies and video clips. So, who will go to the cinema?

hahaha :D …
you cheated me, for a second i thought its like all other cinemas :(
i was going to send you "seder knafeh" but now am going to send you Tom & jery movie :D
but you know what its a good start, coz pepole are not ready yet for a real Cinema, and to make them ready this must be done progressively. and this is the first step.
I don't think you have a problem with Woman and Kids and lack of cartoon movies, do you?
C'mon, progressive by opening a cinema for kids movies… Send me the "seder knafeh" and I'll give it a second thought :-D
