Nobody saw “The Spy Who Loved Us”? to comment on print quality & sound?
I’m confused by a couple comments above as to the digital not being same quality as film. This is 4k projection, I think. These James Bond films would look better in 35mm? I’ve seen some of them recently in 35mm new prints, and they look great. The digital versions don’t look as good?
I’ve read hundreds of above posts. They are not about Embassy Theatre memories. They do not “spring therefrom” They have nothing to do with the purpose of the website, and many above posts in a creepy way are overly personal in ways nothing to do with this website. I agree with Warren.
When I wrote last night, the theater name on this website literally read:
The Palace Cathedral / United Palace Theatre
That combo name, complete with hypehn rather than “aka” looked inappropriate for this website, and was why I commented.
That combo name has since been modified or corrected to the singular “United Palace Theatre”
I want to repeat what I wrote earlier, and can be said of other theaters, too:
We all owe much gratitude to churches such as this one, and leaders such as Reverend Ike, who have lovingly restored, maintained, and operated movie palaces. Before concerts began, this church had already welcomed visitors.
Perhaps
“The Reverend Ike’s The Palace Cathedral, presenting half a dozen concerts a year as United Palace Theatre, and otherwise known as United Church
so far as I know, there have only been a few concerts here, and only recently,and when I visit official website, there are none listed for 2008 at all. It is primarily a church.
Anybody attend this weekend’s screenings of James Bond classics, including “The Spy Who Loved Me”? How is the film print, the sound, the crowd, and is the curtain used?
I sent in the name change for the Gramercy, because that was a total change in the name of the theater. I agree with Warren for the various reasons he posted above. The website link is included above for those who wish to visit it- and it is a very nice website with many beautiful photos of the movie palace. Most people on this website are more familiar with the historic name.
The status was changed today to “open” pursuant to the comment suggesting it.
I will also add gratitude to the church for keeping the movie palace in such wonderful order, and making it so available to the public.
I’m trying hard to think of a word that a gentleman could use that starts with “s” and ends with “t” because if I was the theater, I would surely ignore any request written by someone if I thought they grew up in a gutter.
I didn’t see the need to point out in the revised Introduction that it is un-triplexed, but yes, of course!
as to movies, as a lawyer, I will speculate that all movies are precluded.
Thanks to Roloff for photos of auditorium reconstructed from Cinema Parisien View link
According to the official website, the Film Museum is moving in 2010 to a new building that will have more auditoriums including a 300 seater. I hope they either move the ornate auditorium or keep it in good use where it is. I liked seeing movies in the ornate mansion in the Vondelpark.
Does the Ziegfeld use union projectionists?
If not usually, what about for movie premieres?
Perhaps Clearview should’ve had top projectionists for the prior weekend Friday & Saturday for the reel to reel presentation of “Planet of the Apes” & skipped the not so well attended weekday shows (50 attending at 5 PM)
RobertR,
One of them (Live Nation) already owns the Boyd Theatre in Philadelphia, inherited from Clear Channel, but doesn’t wish to proceed. Friends of the Boyd are looking for solutions so the Boyd Theatre will be restored and reopened. Good luck to the Uptown.
Happy Birthday to the Warner Bros. Hollywood Theater, many happy returns, and let’s hope she will be opened to the public again, eventually!
And, if she’s reading this page? The lady just became a widow and now she has to read that?
Let’s be considerate and hold off talking about the owner’s death, inheritance, and so forth, for a little while.
So this website is now a “Punch & Judy” show, a public feud between Warren & Lost Memory?

You are not blogging about the Embassy.
YOU AND A FEW OTHERS ARE BLOGGING CREEEPY, PERSONAL STUFF THAT HAS NO BUSINESS ON THIS WEBSITE.

Today, sadly, the website dropped the historic Loew’s from the theater’s name, to be consistent with this site’s overall policy.
Indeed. And, as pointed out above, “United Church” is all that I saw in the photos as being on the actual marquee!
the name of the building isn’t United Palace Theatre. A very occasional concert series is sold/promoted by that name.
The last name, as a regular theater: Loews 175th.
When I wrote last night, the theater name on this website literally read:
The Palace Cathedral / United Palace Theatre

Just to make this clear, I was being sarcastic in regard to my proposed further expansion of the current long, complicated name.
Hands up, now, how many Cinema Treasures fans will remember to look for this theater as “The Palace Cathedral”?
The marquee says United Church.
Perhaps that should also be added to
The Palace Cathedral / United Palace Theatre
since Loews 175th was too simple.
Perhaps
“The Reverend Ike’s The Palace Cathedral, presenting half a dozen concerts a year as United Palace Theatre, and otherwise known as United Church
Bway, get a life.

James Bond for 1st time in 6 years?
In November, 2006, I enjoyed “Casino Royale”– at the Ziegfeld.
Now who saw “The Spy Who Loved Us” in the last few days at the Ziegfeld? And, how many people ahve attended?

Actually, I meant to ask if anybody actually knows if Ziegfeld using union projectionists. Wasn’t looking for mere conjecture.

does anybody know where the “Planet of the Apes” print is from? people stated there were faults with the new print recently shown at the Ziegfeld.
