A zero-tolerance policy regarding cell-phone use and other inappropriate action(s) and behaviour(s) is probably what’s needed in more movie theatres, then.
How I wish that more movie theatre managers would get tough on cell-phone users, and that it would catch on in the Boston area, and the Bay State, generally. The woman who decided to use her cellphone to check her bank balance in the middle of a movie was being rather stupid, as it’s totally inappropriate. For all you people who use cellphones in the middle of movies: Have the common decency and consideration to allow people who go to the movies to watch movies allow them to enjoy their time in the movie theatre.
From what I understand, Israel has a system in place that causes cellphones to jam up if a user tries to use his/her cellphone in a public place, such as a movie theatre, restaurant, etc. Maybe something like that should be implemented here, in the United States.
I’m still remembering the time that West Side Story played at the Clearview/Ziegfeld Cinema three years ago (this Saturday, to be exact). My cousin and I went and had a wonderful time.
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.
That’s agreed, larry 2.
Theatre managers all over the United States should be tougher on rude kids and adults alike.
Why would people want regular movie theatres to look like modern home theatres, and why would the movie/theatre industry want to make them that way?

What a beautiful-looking place!

It’s still sad to read about another frequently-patronized theatre closing down.

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.
