“NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN” was set in West Texas but filmed in New Mexico.

Don Lewis commented about "Oswald's" restored Texas Theatre to reopen January 2008 on Nov 11, 2007 at 11:16 am

“Restored” or “renovated” can hardly be used in the same sentence that describes the TEXAS as it stands as of November 2007.

Take a look at the comments and photos posted on Cinema Treasures and it becomes obvious that the TEXAS has become a shell of its former self.

It took 3.5 million to do this!?

Too bad……..It was just a matter of time.

Don Lewis commented about Texas Theatre on Nov 5, 2007 at 11:59 pm

The city of Dallas can’t even restore a pot hole. The rumor of a reopening is several years old.

Take a look a some of the previous comments. Money is going down a black hole somewhere.

Also take a look at the pictures, past and present. The TEXAS has become a mere shell of its former self.

This is a restoration???

Don Lewis commented about Fox Theatre on Oct 28, 2007 at 8:21 pm

Does the FOX still look like the train wreck it did in 2003?

Don Lewis commented about Eagle Theater on Oct 27, 2007 at 7:18 pm

Looks like the EAGLE has has had a re-do and lost quiet a bit of character.

Don Lewis commented about Queen Theatre on Oct 24, 2007 at 1:50 am

A closer look reveals the QUEEN’S crown must have had some flashy neon at some point.

Hard to beleive that Bryan is not trying to preserve the QUEEN.
