Odd to close a theatre in summertime.

Nobody has added the Manhattan Roosevelt on 145 St see the ad I have posted on the 125 St Apollo and Cinerama site.

God help us if it’s UA-Regal they might as well just close them up now.

I went to a movie convention back in the 90’s that was held in the main auditorium. Is it still not renovated?

RobertR commented about UA Crossbay I on Jul 7, 2005 at 9:17 am

UA80
When is Crossbay 2 closing?

RobertR commented about Angelika New York on Jul 7, 2005 at 8:13 am

Why is it though that places like the Angelika don’t make improvements when competitors open up? Instead of making the theatre top notch again they let it get run down and filthy and as noted above have shoddy projection.

The Sunshine is running “Psycho” Fri and Sat at midnight this weekend.

RobertR commented about Uniondale Mini Cinema on Jul 7, 2005 at 5:11 am

Hey I knew Jan Jordon quite well from when she was running the UA Video stores. Remember them at the Astoria, Quartet, Bellvue, Midway and I forget where else. Did you guys know Richie Cortez? He worked for UA then left to open the Hollywood Twin and then returned to do something for Salah with UFD and wound up working with Jan for UA Video. A friend in California heard Jan passed but I don’t know if it’s true.
