As a life-long New Yorker, and frequenter of The Waverly for years, I can appreciate the naysayers' take that this might be a high-gloss corporate brand adopting pseudo-hip garb at the new IFC Center. But I basically applaud it and expect good things. They (IFC) have reason to make the place a true innovator and maintain the spirit of the original Waverly, and not just another “art house” venue. I for one am hopeful that they do this and listen to the film-loving community. Though I do agree with other posters here that we’ll still call it “The Waverly”.
