think i've been there twice in twenty years; remember it being a nice enough room but they tend to book kinda boring stuff

I'm pretty sure in '80-81 I saw Truffaut's last two there (The Last Metro, The Woman Next Door). They booked all the Merchant-Ivory films in the '80s and '90s. Last time I was there was for Carol. Always packed in the 75-and-over crowd.

Prison Images: Incarceration and the Cinema @ Anthology... I esp recommend Renoir's stellar The Elusive Corporal, which is harder to see than A Man Escaped or Le Trou.

It's hard to believe that Manhattan had only single-screen theaters until 1972, if that factoid is indeed true - supposedly the Quad was the first multi?
― Josefa, Wednesday, 19 June 2019 23:30 (six years ago)
A little before my time, but I know of no others. They started dividing the single-screen midtown theaters by the mid '70s.

been looking forward to catching a few in this one - i have, somewhat astonishingly, never seen a single film in which burt lancaster appears. atlantic city and sweet smell of success have been on my list for ages, but i'm also hoping to find time to just pick up some random roll-the-dice picks here, especially with the 2-for-1s.

^ Went to see this tonight. With no pre-announcement or explanation, instead of the film everyone paid to see they showed some fake trailers followed by a nearly hour-long European stop-motion animation film. The lady at the box office who was the sole staff member on duty - also the person who pressed the buttons on the computer to "project" the film - said, "So sorry! This is what the distributor sent us." She could not even guarantee me that Payday would actually show up for screening later in the month.
It was my first time there, so seriously wtf is up with this place?
