Boy, oh boy!! Sounds like an exciting potential happening there! Can’t make it to the Lafayette Theatre, for obvious reasons, but here’s wishing you luck in making your dream come true, movie534.
Movie tickets are expensive here in our neck of the woods too (Boston and the Bay State), unless one holds a membership to one or both of the only two indy/revival/arthouse movie theatres left here in our area.
Sounds like a wonderful cinema for a real, honest-to-goodness night out! Just out of curiosity, does this great-sounding cinema also show revivals and older classic films as well? Again, just curious. Here’s hoping that you all enjoy this great cinema forever and ever, and wishing that something like that would crop up here, in our neck of the woods!
The fact that the movie industry allowed this kind of piracy to happen in the first place is what helped almost kill its own business. The fact that the SCOTUS, under Reagan, voted to allow movies to be taped on video and on VCR, is also what lead to the present situation overall. Sad, indeed.
I hear you on this one, norelco, I honestly do. However, many people predicted the coming of automation here in America, and I’m afraid, if the beginning emergence of digital cinema is any indication, that the prediction of the coming of automation rings true.
Given the present real dearth of indy/art house movie theatres here in the United States at large, it’s heartening to read about the opening of a new indy/arthouse movie theatre. Hope it serves as a revival theatre also, if one gets the drift.
Regarding this kind of piracy, the whole sense of entitlement and wanting something for nothing" attitude, always prevalent in our society and culture, began to get worse when Ronald Reagan took office, and, when the SCOTUS under Ronald Reagan, voted to allow movies to be made into VCR videos by one vote, that got the ball rolling, and it hasn’t stopped rolling since, unfortunately, if you all get the drift.
Obviously, at least part of that $400 million made here in the USA alone by “Transformers 2” and other movies like it was due to this kind of piracy. The question is; why was this kind of piracy ever even allowed to begin, in the first place? So, yes, it is a big deal, in a way.
I don’t know, KingBiscuits. There’s such a sense of entitlement in our culture today that an awful lot of people want something for nothing, and movies are among them. I fear that this kind of piracy can only go on, and will be another way to just kill the movie business and drive movie theatres, including and especially Indy movie theatres out of business entirely. This is scary to me, because I like going to movies., and, btw, ALAlvarez, although I’m well over 30, I don’t consider myself a “geriatric”.

I fear you may be right, Love movies-hate going.

Sounds like lots of fun! Good luck with the project!!
It’s about time!!
Sounds cool!
How sweet!
Neat-o!! Sounds like you had a wonderful time overall, and that it was really a pleasure to go into that theatre. Thanks for the heads up!
Thanks for the photos of the Lafayette Theatre! What a fantastic-looking theatre, both inside and out! Cool!

I agree with you, movie534. I think that regular 35mm film is the way that great movies should be shown.

The Christmas show load in starts that early?!? Wow!!
Sounds like a Dream Come True!! All the best of luck to the patrons and the people who run this theatre!
Sounds cool….and a bit too good to be true!!
Will this theatre also show Classic films? It should, imho.
That’s agreed, BWChicago.
Sounds like you’re right on the mark, CWalczak.
Your points are also well-taken, Robert C.

I, too wish you guys luck!! As they say in showbusiness: Break a leg.
Hey CinemarkFan!
I wish there was something like this:

here in Boston.
Although I admittedly know little to nothing about the movie business, I think you’re probably right about that, movie534.

Sounds like a pretty cool movie. However, I’ll probably end up waiting until it comes to our area, before seeing it.
