Author Topic: Up and Coming Trip to Texas Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 01-14-2003 04:54 PM                     I think my masochistic friend Scott would have loved the Cerberus 3 (1970-1993) in Washington, DC, which was formerly an auto sales agency. Yes, those would be support pillars in the middle of the rooms. I have no idea how they got a picture on the screens in those side auditoriums, with the projection ports being all of six rows back from the screen.  |  IP: Logged Jason Burroughs Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 654 From: Allen, TX Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-14-2003 05:25 PM                     Try a theater that has has virtually no upgrades since its opening in 1983. Only changes that have taken place are speaker upgrades (with used equipment) in the main auditorium, and new(er) seats. Stereo appears to have been added to one other auditorium in the '90's as a CP-50 was put in, and QSC amps powering the speakers.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-15-2003 01:51 AM                     quote: "So please -- give Adam all the side-splitting hilarious theatres that'll make for a fun adventure into sticky floors and crazy sightlines etc. etc." Well damn Scott, I don't think Adam has enough time to see all of THOSE kind of places around here! I think we'll start with the theater Jason was hinting at in the above post.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-15-2003 05:12 AM                        Well, um, I occasionally fill in at a theatre that has had almost no upgrades since 1938....and the place where I worked when I was in college had not been upgraded since 1981 (first major upgrade since they installed CinemaScope in the '50s; the whole place has been significnatly renovated now, though).  |  IP: Logged Scott D.

More than likely I'll be using some of my lovely vacation time and Southwest Rapid Rewards to join Adam on this field trip. Especially if Dallas is loaded full of non-remodelled cookie cutter P.O.S. gems. That and I've been looking for a nice part of Texas and I've yet to find it... every time I fly to DFW it looks pretty decent out the window. Such a difference between there and Lubbock, Odessa and Abilene... although Abilene ain't too bad.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

By the way, I expect to consume incredible amounts of barbecue while I'm there. I haven't had any good BBQ since I left Oklahoma.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-16-2003 03:32 AM                     Adam, Looks like a Stealth Theatre thats taken in a 5th of Jack Daniels!

I'm not eating anywhere that's not a Chick-Fil-A... unless it's Sunday I suppose.
