Nick, what is the next one.Guess what ALL BY MYSELF i am working up a couple of new theatres for CT,waiting on Bill to send back a letter about a few questions on the theatres i am working up.I tried to call him,but i guess he doesn’t have a phone anymore.
You know HE swears “SUMMER OF 42” was rated PG. I took a picture of the one sheet that is in my Theatre poster display frame and MAILED IT TO HIM. It was released as an R-Rated film. RIGHT!!!!!! Why am I asking you it is one the ONE-SHEET. I hate to be told i am wrong when I know I am right.If you have a newspaper ad of"SUMMER of 42" PLEZ mail it to him. Oh well, better not.
No maskings? Now that’s really strange. The only film I saw in the new 16 theatre complex was The Lost World: Jurassiac Park II. As soon as I walked in I knew I’d made a mistake. It was in the first theatre on the left when you entered the lobby. Small theater although screen size wasn’t too bad. What was intolerable were the auditorium doors with the push lever which made a loud “clack-clack!” every time someone entered or exited the theatre. And the man standing at the back talking loudly on his cell phone through several minutes of the film only made matters worse. My first time there was my last time. I did take a peek at the two former cinemas III & IV and being completely redone they looked very different from before.
Nick, thanks for the article on my old theatre chain,GCC. Our lobby at REGENCY MALL I,II & III was also very small. So you saw the “THE GROOVE TUBE” that was a very funny ,but the nudity was really guite a bit for most R—rated movies.We actually played it at NATIONAL HILLS of all places and for second run did quite well.11 years of “ROCKY HORROR” the few months we played it at REGENCY MALL the city was about to pull our business license,at least that is what a few local officals wanted.{Story on CT,Regency Mall}. The seats and everything just like GCC. 2010 was not anything like our favorite movie of 1968.I don’t think it did good really anywhere it played,and I know the screens were small at GCC great story.
Thanks Nick for another great update on Tampa area theaters. I remember these theaters well. I do rememeber seeingo ne film in the new 3&4 section after Cobb took it over. It was Dead MAn Walking. I remember not liking it because the screen had no masking and I could not tell if the film was done in scope or flat. I never went back after that.
