I actually love early '80s shoebox multiplexes -- worked in one myself for two years as a teenager. Still go to some old General Cinemas

Posted by: dsbman (a.k.a dsbmanYTD2011) on Jul 03, 16:00 in response to second gary's post I saw the restored Gance "Napoleon" at the...

locations. They had much more character than newer megaplexes, IMO, even though newer megaplexes were first designed to give reprieve from generic '80s multiplexes... I still vasty prefer sloped seating to stadium, too.

Just tried to get 330 tickets for tfrm3 imax3d sold out. Dorfman Jul 03, 12:16

3 tickets for an 11:30 am showing yesterday in manhattan in real 3d (their words)=$54.00 {nm} tradermark Jul 03, 13:27

Would have been $30 at an AMC. {nm} dsbman Jul 03, 14:47

Was the regal 14. I will have to keep that in mind. Why the hell is the Regal always packed? {nm} tradermark Jul 03, 14:53

You could put a Cineplex Odeon from 1982 on 42nd St and it would be packed. {nm} dsbman Jul 03, 15:02

I saw the restored Gance "Napoleon" at the first Cineplex Odeon at the Eaton Centre in Toronto around 1981. second gary Jul 03, 15:39

"Canada Square" in Toronto still has a bit of the shoebox feel, but otherwise, in Toronto, I think the pre-stadium days theatres... second gary Jul 03, 20:54

Could it be the free pop corn and soda to Club members buying loyalty? {nm} Buy StarBondFund 17 ( EURO too) Jul 03, 15:07

wow {nm} Dorfman Jul 03, 14:48

$54 for 3 tickets for 3d matinee??!!! thats crazy. 3d matinee here is 9 and the new imax 12 {nm} Dorfman Jul 03, 15:53

But you could also probably get a couple of 4 bedroom houses where you live for the price of a 350 sq ft studio in Manhattan... {nm} dsbman Jul 03, 16:18

i dunno, is a 350sqft studio 400k? modest 4bedrooms here run at least 200k and thats like really small 4bdrms {nm} Dorfman Jul 03, 19:15

IMAX 3D was $18 each in Ontario, Calif...I passed {nm} tealfan Jul 03, 15:00
