This documentation analyzes a preserved movie ticket stub for the film "Brick," offering insight into early 21st-century American cinema culture and the material culture of moviegoing. The ticket represents a tangible artifact of the film's reception and the then-prevalent technology of thermal ticket printing. It serves as a primary source document for understanding entertainment practices and commercial graphic design of the period. The ticket stub is for a screening of "Brick" on Tuesday, April 18, 2006, at 7:00 PM at the Long Beach 6 theater (identification number 1174), presumably a Regal Cinemas location in Long Beach, Los Angeles County, California. Los Angeles County's historical significance as a center of the American film industry adds another layer of context to this artifact. The printed time of 7:50 PM may indicate the moment of ticket issuance, suggesting a possible slight delay in the patron's arrival or ticket purchase. The ticket price of $6.50 denotes a senior discount, providing a glimpse into the theater's pricing structure at the time. The assigned seat number is 2, though the specific location within the theater remains unknown. A faded logo, likely that of Regal Cinemas, occupies the top left corner. The ticket’s overall condition shows expected signs of age and handling for a thermal-printed item nearly two decades old, including slight discoloration and minor creasing. These characteristics are consistent with the material properties of thermal paper and the typical wear associated with its handling and storage. The reverse side of the ticket presents standard legal disclaimers typical of cinema tickets, including the "ADMIT ONE" declaration, validity restrictions, management prerogatives regarding admission and seating, and the absence of refunds. The inclusion of the Regal Entertainment Group logo and the now-defunct website address, www.REGmovies.com, confirms the theater's affiliation. The presence of the code "BOOCA" likely served an internal function within Regal's operational systems, potentially relating to ticket tracking, sales reconciliation, or inventory management. The ticket's significance lies in its connection to the film "Brick," a neo-noir thriller starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, which gained cult classic status. Its preservation offers a tangible link to the film's initial theatrical release. The ticket stub also offers a glimpse into the material culture of moviegoing before the widespread adoption of digital ticketing, representing a now-declining form of physical media. The information printed on the ticket, including the date, time, location, and price, provides concrete evidence of a specific event within the history of film exhibition. This specificity allows for the contextualization of the artifact within broader trends in entertainment, consumerism, and graphic design of the mid-2000s. The ticket's design, employing thermal printing on thin paper stock, reflects the cost-effective printing technologies common in the era. Furthermore, the ticket serves as a microcosm of broader commercial practices and legal frameworks surrounding entertainment and consumer transactions, as evidenced by the printed disclaimers and branding. The mention of the seller offering other "vintage and collectable items" and combined shipping within the original eBay listing description speaks to the growing market for nostalgic memorabilia and the evolving practices of online commerce. The seller's emphasis on customer service through detailed photographs and a willingness to answer questions highlights the importance of trust and transparency in online marketplaces.
