Is the Realto still open? I sure hope so. It's my Cinema Paradiso. It was where I saw my first film in a theater (at least the first one I remember)Robinson Crusoe on Mars. STILL love that movie. At the time I thought it was so realistic! Still kinda do if the planet wasn't Mars. [Cool]

[Eek!] and I used to take care of the ROCK and the CINEMA downtown 11 yrs ago - those PRO35 "boat anchors" hanging on the front of CH20 consoles with AW-2 platters. (And you talk about staff/mgmt issues those theatres had..... [Eek!] )

I couldn't convince those kids on how to run a PRO correctly-for if you did, those machines were pretty quiet to run. BUT, listening is one of their weak points let alone caring. Only thing they cared about is how much they could steal and get away with it.

Dumb kids that would run the CINEMA would crank a new bulb up to max just to get more light out when all it needed was a mirror adjustment. Bulb was black after only 500 hrs on it.

..and had the same probs at the Twin in Green River...
