Actually the El Capitan doesn’t have the grand curtain opening preshow anymore. Apparently they stopped doing it a a few years ago, around the time of the first Pirates movie. Now there’s just one yellow curtain that rises and falls between the stage show and trailers. It’s still a very nice curtain though.
Roadshow, if you despise Arclight so much why did you go there? It would be like me going to an AMC theater.
It’s a shame that such a historical and potentially fantastic theater is just being neglected. This theater is dying for a new screen, seats, paint, lighting, etc.
It looked pretty good in the opening of Scream 2 with the vertical sign all lit up.
The Crest certainly looks like great eye candy but the auditorium looks a lot like a jazzed up version of the Bruin(ie shoebox shape with a screen at the end). An opening curtain show sounds great though. Disney should take notice.
Not going to defend the Dome’s projection/screen problems although the sound can be VERY GOOD when the planets align, which is kind of rare now. LOTR 1 sounded INSANE.
Yeah, I figured HP would be locked in, being a big Warner film. Even though it’s a common occurance it just seems redudant for it to play at both the Village AND Grauman’s for that length of time, IMO. Oh well, at least Transformers got at least a week to play at the Village before it was bumped out.
I’m surprised neither the Village or Grauman’s Chinese will be playing the Simpsons Movie. Instead both will continue playing the latest Harry Potter film. Pretty disappointing as I really wanted to see it on either of their 2k DLPs. The Dome’s 2k just doesn’t cut it.

Well, according to Arclight’s website Hairspray is now playing in the Dome.
HAIRSPRAY is playing in the Dome.
THE SIMPSONS MOVIE is not.
Not a joke.
