I was employed with Gary Culver for 2 years before his unfortunate passing and with the theater during it’s transition into a Cinelux theater. As glad as I am the theater may continue to survive, I strongly believe the Nickelodeon would have been far better than the corporate trash that is Cinelux. After only two months of staying with the theater after Cinelux took hold, I quit, happily, to get away from after witnessing a place I loved become soulless. Not only does Cinelux management not have a single intelligent mind among them, screen shows and advertisements precede every showing, dulling your every sense to the extreme. I’d recommend the theaters in downtown Santa Cruz such as the Nick or the Del Mar, as they have far happier and relaxed atmospheres without the corporate garbage.
