Oh no? Since when? I’m curious, because people really do get what they pay for these days. Often enough, the cheaper DVD players, be they the standard or the Blue-Ray ones, tend to break down much, much more often, as members of my family can and will attest, through personal experience. They ended up paying more for better DVD players, but it was worth it to them.
“but MPol, you manage to squeeze your overwhelming love for West Side Story into every page here on CT”
but I can’t resist!
Kram Sacul: blue-Ray sounds fanatastic, but expensive. Besides, one needs a special Blue-Ray DVD player, because a standard DVD player doesn’t work for Blue-Ray
It’s agreed that MPAA has undercut theatre movie distributions, which is disgusting and destructive, not to mention a form of piracy in itself, imho. As a cinephile who still enjoys going to great, older movies as well as some new ones, I will not be driven away.
I saw the film “Sleeping Beauty” in a now-defunct Boston movie Theatre (the name which escapes me at the moment) at a friend’s birthday party back in 1959, in the second grade. It was a well-done, well-printed film, which I enjoyed a great deal.
I never saw the original “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”, but I did see the remake of it, and, when we were waiting to get into the screening we’d come for, we noticed that a number of people coming out of the previous screening of “Invaders of the Body Snatchers” remake seemed scared out of their minds. I wasn’t crazy about the “Body Snatchers” remake myself. I’m sure the original was better. That’s almost always the case.
Although I never saw the movie “House on Haunted Hill”, I have seen “Rebel Without a Cause”, “Sunset Boulevard” and a re-make of “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” (not the original).
I love the photobucket photograph you posted, btw. Thanks.
A zero-tolerance policy regarding cell-phone use and other inappropriate action(s) and behaviour(s) is probably what’s needed in more movie theatres, then.
How I wish that more movie theatre managers would get tough on cell-phone users, and that it would catch on in the Boston area, and the Bay State, generally. The woman who decided to use her cellphone to check her bank balance in the middle of a movie was being rather stupid, as it’s totally inappropriate. For all you people who use cellphones in the middle of movies: Have the common decency and consideration to allow people who go to the movies to watch movies allow them to enjoy their time in the movie theatre.
From what I understand, Israel has a system in place that causes cellphones to jam up if a user tries to use his/her cellphone in a public place, such as a movie theatre, restaurant, etc. Maybe something like that should be implemented here, in the United States.
I’m still remembering the time that West Side Story played at the Clearview/Ziegfeld Cinema three years ago (this Saturday, to be exact). My cousin and I went and had a wonderful time.
Neat theatre—neat schedule of movies!!

Ian Judge, you’re right about this:

I agree with you there, Ken Layton.
Justin Fencsak:, Wizard of Oz is another movie that’s best shown on the great big, wide screen, in a real movie theatre, with the lights down low.
PeterApruzzese: It sounds like you guys all had a wonderful time seeing WOO at the Lafayette Theatre last year.
hey—I wish they’d do a national re-release for the film West Side Story.

Without having seen them, yet having looked at the advertising pictures, I can agree.
Wow! That must’ve been neat!
Not sure, but I did also see “Grand Canyon Suite” along with “Sleeping Beauty. That was another beautiful film.

It’s funny how yet another multiplex cinema is opening up when so many multiplex cinema franchises are in such financial trouble.
The above link doesn’t work. Sorry.

How exciting it must be to visit various locations where famous movies were made!
Sounds cool!!
Sounds great! All the best of luck!
Hey!! Let ‘em come here to the Boston area! We need more movie theatres here, and not just ones that play the schlockier movies of today!
That’s agreed, larry 2.
Theatre managers all over the United States should be tougher on rude kids and adults alike.
Why would people want regular movie theatres to look like modern home theatres, and why would the movie/theatre industry want to make them that way?

What a beautiful-looking place!

It’s still sad to read about another frequently-patronized theatre closing down.
