My friend Jay Farrell has suggested to me that the same road construction that is putting the bookstore out of business apparently kept the google streetview photography car from reaching that block.

HowardBHaas commented about Criterion Theatre on Sep 12, 2019 at 2:09 am

Also, thanks ridethetrain for your Sept 4 info here about this theater & your similiar posts on other theater pages. The Intro has been updated.

HowardBHaas commented about Criterion Theatre on Sep 12, 2019 at 2:06 am

Please don’t speak in “code” meaning abbreviations! It is taken me awhile to recall that some posts ago “N & A” was Nicholas & Alexandria. Spell out the names of the movies.

HowardBHaas commented about Odeon Luxe London Leicester Square on Sep 11, 2019 at 4:18 pm

RadioVenus, being in Philadelphia, PA, I haven’t visited LA recently though I have visited London recently. I was curious what movie theaters in LA still used a curtain. Being a flagship showplace for Disney, I expected El Capitan still uses a curtain, but I am delighted with your info that the Chinese IMAX uses a curtain and the Cinerama Dome uses a curtain. If you haven’t done so, please post such info on those theater pages and/or photos of the curtains closed. I’d be eager to know if the Village theaters esp Village & Bruin use their curtains, Hollywood Vista, and any others. Thanks again for your report regarding real theater showmanship!

HowardBHaas commented about Paris Theater on Sep 10, 2019 at 6:52 am

Harris did the L of A restoration that was shown at the Paris. Having seen 70mm classics including the most recent restoration of L of A at the Museum of the Museum of the Moving Image, I would say the Paris experience would’ve been fine. True, not an enormous screen, but plenty large enough. I enjoyed “Hamlet” in 70mm at the Paris when it was shown there.

HowardBHaas commented about Paris Theater on Sep 5, 2019 at 2:42 pm

I answered this L of A a few questions above.

HowardBHaas commented about Paris Theater on Sep 4, 2019 at 4:50 pm

I saw the 4 digital restoration on a movie screen- it looks great. No matter what disc version you have, it is not the same as looking at 70mm film. If it is shown again somewhere….
