In an article in the Saudi Gazette discussing plans to build a cinema in Jeddah, I gleaned a couple of interesting tidbits...They highlight (somewhat humorously to my American way of thinking) some of the differences here in the Kingdom

Youths, for instance, are starved for entertainment that is offered in neighboring Arab countries, although they want it in a way that doesn't offend the sensitivity of the Kingdom.
"We don t mind having a heavily censored cinema that is similar to the Saudi television," said Emad Abed, a high school Saudi student. "The most important thing to us is the setting and the feelings one might get when we go to a cinema abroad. It would also give us a sort of relieve instead of mangling with peers in shopping malls or setting in road sides." (Mangling with peers? Not sure I'd want to be any part of that! But it continues...)

Yet Emad doesn t want a family cinema where all members of the family enjoy watching movies simply because he doesn't want his male friends to see his sisters.

"If they see my sisters, they will certainly tease me the next day at school, the thing that I can t handle,"he said. That doesn't seem to me a very nice thing to imply about your sisters, Emad!
