Great news! Thanks to Mad Monkey for the upcoming schedule, above. “The Big Lebowski” on the big screen?! Wow! The street display case now sports a “B Movie Nation” poster, and another for “Clancy,” w/o date. The PopCityMedia piece (see Howard B Hass’s post, just above) mentions a film mix of “classics, indies, and contemporary studio fare.” The South Hills area has nothing else like this. Along with local families and youth, the Hollywood could draw the kind of audiences who now patronize the Harris (downtown) and the Regent Sq. (east side), two of Pittsburgh Filmmakers screens. A cafe? Bring it on! Eating out on Potomac before or after. Sure!
Yes, parking in Dormont is awful, to put it charitably. Who knows if/when that will change? But the Hollywood’s management should keep in mind that the venue is just a block from the Potomac “T” station, and the “T” runs until fairly late. W. Liberty Ave bus routes also stop just a block away. This means patronage from places like Castle Shannon, Mt. Lebo, Oakland and other parts of Pgh.
Question: an online search doesn’t turn up much about Motion Picture Heritage (Organization? Corporation?) or its Bill Devers. There’s a mention on this board of MPH’s involvement in restoring the SkyLine Drive-In, Shelbyville, IN. They’re also trying to help locals in Oakland, CA save a second-run house. Anyone have more info on MPH and Devers? Thanks.
