i still offer an adult movie ticket for 5 dollars, 3 dollars for matinee children and seniors
yet no one comes and becuse of that the movies will go the way of my dignity, kills me to think i am going to extremes to create an experiance like the ones i had as a child, these same things that made me fall in love with movies. and NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO one cares at all, and in the end people will pile into regal for saw 12 while i have 4 or 5 people for casablanca
i worked for regal for 7 years, between 3 theaters, the bigger the company gets the less they care about the product, i went to see W. at the theater i use to run, got dirty looks from former employees, the concessionist was way to buisy talking to friends in line to deal with me, my soda was flat. no manager was to be found, the movie was out of frame the 1st 3 reels and the mens room looked like animals were grazing in there right before i came to use it.
i remember working at amc and regal and caring what people thought of our little 7 or 8 plex, coming to work looking clean and putting alot into how i present my films (except for the 2 mis splices in barn yard that got me written up)
i have all the original 1940’s and 50’s directorys for the tri state areas film companies glued to my walls in the booth, as well as ad’s for x rated films that played a short time in the late 60’s
im not giving up. im working on a double feature for december, i secured the date and im gonna do a show the way i want to do a show, somthing cult and fun. now im just looking got sponsors so i dont have to do it alone, pack the show with some great prizes and old trailers and once i get the 2 movies that work the best i have an artist whos gonna do a great grindhouse kinda poster for me
the hope is everything comes toghter and i dont have to go broke but if the end is near i may as well go out with a bang
sadest part is this is prob my last stop, i left amc when i was 17 to go to regal to be a manager and didnt give 2 weeks cause i was in high school and thought i had it all figured out. i lost my job at regal after 7 years becuse a girl “hahaha wish i knew what i know now” and no matter what i put in, what i learned. if my current digs decides to pull the plug then looks like thats it for this magical mystery tour
its like trying to beat back the ocean with a stick. no matter how hard you try no matter what you give or how you come at it the waves just keep crashing….hahaha ok that was a lil dramatic
honest answer is despite having 3 dollar and 5 dollar tickets in the economic mess, despite programing 1st run films and fantastic classic trailers and drive in ad’s from my collection and once a month a 35mm print of a classic film
the powers that be do little to promote or advertise and slowly cut back the show times so its frustrating becuse i love what i do but what i do doesnt love me these days
citizen kane was a hit and i hope it gets people excited for oct 22nd when i present BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN at 10:30am and 1:30pm
sorry no late show this month movie fans as there are auditions or warm ups or somting having to do with the live plays that night
timing a shutter i do know, the guy who trained me when i was 17 at amc marlton was like yoda and ill never forget the film on the platter was the pledge with jack nichelson and i was cared to death i screwed up theater 4
i pick up peices as i go and try to soak up as much info as i can, to many people just learn that bare minimum to get by and not be noticed by the amc’s and regals
no word on the ventnor for months but i realy havent had my ear to the ground i have my own theater issues to wade through
i added them to my myspace i run a single screen historic movie house in south jersey with my films being forced out in favor of live plays i respect there game plan of cult classics and 2nd run flicks at a discount rate the economy is terrible right now and entertainment is so vital
i run the pitman theater and with talk of the movies on there way out i would love to help out in south jersey continuing what i have started in pitman what theater in gloucester county is this
due to the tech demands of the live theater at the broadway i have been forced to call off the 7pm show, but the 10:30am and 1pm shows will go on as scheduled and i plan on making all of my classic events a cant miss for the area movie goers
with the atco multiplex out of buisness cause the ritz and with larger booming theaters like burlington and cherry hill how mlong before the moorestown 7 and marlton 8 get shut down
well i know the theater in pitman i work for is still looking to sell and it was recently refurbished and has a built in fanbase of over 6000 live theater goers
plus the westmont in haddon twp nj (the old grey lady as its called) has been looking to reopen and it was the 1st theater steven spielburg ever saw a film in
people show up every night cinemark does a classic feature, exhumed films is a draw with there cult and double bills. every month the later shows for my classic series at pitman grows
if people know its out there they are more willing to try somthing new….or in this case old
i have very little budget to promote films it all goes to live theater but i have taken a page from the old fashion carnival barkers i talk with great passion about 35mm film prints and my classic trailers and the shows which i labor over and it rubs off on people
movie houses today are missing that belly full of fire
they could make a killing it they created a revival house and promoted it as such, getting investors and the historical society on board, being so near philly is can be a prime spot for film on the east coast and great for the community
no matter how big my tv gets no matter how great the surround sound or the high def
my favorite thing bar none in the whole world is sitting in a theater as the lights go down.
