KingBiscuits commented about Former Red Bridge Theater in Kansas City, MO gets makeover, new name on May 5, 2010 at 10:14 pm

I would hate to see the Glenwood Arts close.

I can’t think of any Southern-based chains that would even think of serving Pepsi. Many hardcore Southerners shun Pepsi as “being a product of the Yankee North” (despite the fact that Pepsi was invented in North Carolina, a Southern state).

Beverly Hills Cop with Eddie Murphy in attendance sounds good.

I see that the promoter liked Bowfinger.

KingBiscuits commented about Final Season for 'At the Movies' on Mar 31, 2010 at 2:47 pm

The latest news: Roger Ebert may make a return to television despite the loss of his voice (he has had a personalized voice synthiziser made for him though which duplicates the sound of his old voice, thanks to archived audio of Ebert before he was diagnosed with throat cancer).

KingBiscuits commented about Historic Lido Theatre to screen "Clash of the Titans" in 3D! on Mar 29, 2010 at 3:58 pm

3-D cropping can be distracting in a way. Most 3-D prints of Avatar were matted and some effects were reduced as a result.

KingBiscuits commented about Rivoli Theatre on Mar 27, 2010 at 10:24 pm

I was watching Police Squad this week and noticed the the title screen has footage of Broadway (probably 1960’s stock footage). The Rivoli and a few other theatres appear.

KingBiscuits commented about Bow Tie Cinemas will use Technicolor's non-digital 3D projection system on Mar 4, 2010 at 4:33 pm

I can’t see this working due to the silver screen installation. Also, it seems like a step back in terms of technological advances.

It might work for second runs and reissues of older movies but otherwise, it will probably fail.

The theatre’s marquee made a brief appearance through a recreation in last year’s Watchmen (which is set in 1985).

Some of you guys are taking this way too seriously. The people who did this were just having fun and it is a good model after all.

KingBiscuits commented about Hollywood pushing dates of movies on DVD shorter on Feb 23, 2010 at 10:34 pm

Disney is shortening the window on Alice in Wonderland because they want to debut its new video-on-demand service with it. That’s understandable but why get it on VOD when a monthly Netflix subscription is cheaper?

KingBiscuits commented about TCL Chinese Theatre on Feb 19, 2010 at 10:09 pm

The Crazies will be the next D-Box release. However, it looks to be playing as a moveover on the format as Arclight is selling tickets for it at midnight.

KingBiscuits commented about Hollywood pushing dates of movies on DVD shorter on Feb 19, 2010 at 10:06 pm

A few years back, France tried to protest shorter windows by having theatres not run Night At The Museum. This didn’t work mainly because Night At The Museum was a big moneymaker and the theatres wanted the additional coin.

Nothing says ultimate experience like the smell of trees.

The Arclight runs a lot of indie titles also.

That’s not really news, Fencsak. They also listed the UA East 85th Street in the same ad.

Contact (moveover from the West Park 4)

Looks like another 2012 case where Los Angeles gets the D-Box run later then.

KingBiscuits commented about Regency Village Theatre on Feb 2, 2010 at 4:43 pm

Maybe it’s a special double bill for Oscar season (The Blind Side is up for Best Picture and Best Actress, Invictus is up for Best Actor).

Also, the posters for Clash Of The Titans and Hot Tub Time Machine are probably just for titles coming to the Chinese.

While the Chinese plays the regular version.

It looks like From Paris With Love will be the next engagement. The Chinese 6 will probably get the D-Box version.
