while the photos posted by LI Oddities are definately UA Patchogue, the videos are definately NOT! That projectionist never worked there and Patchogue had Century projectors, not Christies.
There were not many staff members left (many went to college and were not replaced for obvious reasons) but almost all have transfered to Ronkonkoma, with the exception of 2 associate managers, who have transferred to other locations. All the long-timers will be at REGAL Ronkonkoma.

It should not be listed. Patchogue WAS scheduled for those events, but they will not be open so they were cancelled. trust me – I am 100% sure. The listings for those events will be removed from all the websites today.
I have often visted this site and have never commented before, despite the ingnorant comments that are occasionally posted. There are always people who think they know how thinks work but are rarely accuate as is the case with JBock. I, too, would like to know who he or she is. Hmmmmm…. Bitter?
As for the theatre closing, there is alot involved and there is really no way of knowing when it will be. In the meantime, please give the staff the credit they deseve. They work very hard while not knowing the future of their employment and their “home”. Walk in someone else’s shoes, JBock. Patchogue is a “family” place and THAT is why patrons will “travel past the Island de Lux” to come here. I also agree that we do have the best popcorn around. Some of the staff will be going to the Regal Ronkokoma and you will see how loyal our patrons are.
George is doing very well and is managing several theatres in a privately owned chain since leaving Patchogue 3 years ago. He is still a great friend as are most of the people that I have worked with in the past 11 ½ years.
Vince – I see that your article finally got into Newsday Saturday. Congrats and well done
That is theatre 9

Your kinds words of support are heartfelt and greatly appreciated. However, “Big Brother” also knows about “CT” and monitors this board.
FYI- going onto the property and into the dumpsters is trespassing. The police have been contacted to arrest anyone who does.
they will go to Ronkonkoma, island 16, and mastic.. until the new UA opens in Deer Park…. that will open in May ‘08.
