Does this belong here?
Well…it is an iconic movie theatre, part of the old Hollywood landscape…
Tell ya what: this time it stays, just because of its connection to cinema history and the many important premieres it hosted. It would have been nice having a few sentences from you why you thought it belongs here though (I get the !paulthomasanderson@lemmy.world connection).
Or were you looking to take up a collection to buy? 😉
I really hoped there’d be something like a “Classic Theatre” or “Movie Palace” community at lemmy.film–but alas. It ended up in here because the others available seemed even less appropriate.
And, yes, I have personal history with the theater–most recently having seen LICORICE PIZZA there 5-ish times when it opened there. (I also saw the original TRON first-run, and once sat next to “Urkel” for the first STAR WARS re-issue.)
I think we should attempt to convince Paul and Maya and Quentin to buy the place.

You’re sick and need help. 😂😂😂 I love that movie but still can’t figure out why! 🤣 See this post if ya don’t believe me!
Peace!
It did occur to me to create a theater-related community. I’m wondering if it should be broader? Should it encompass ALL movie theaters/exhibition–not just the classic palaces of yore? 🤔
I Also noticed you had a few film format communities–but were missing a “70mm” one…
