There are no listings for numerous theaaters this weekend? Have these theaters been affected by Hurricane Sandy? It seems like Nassau County has 93% of their customers without electricity and Suffolk has 74% out.

AMC for 2 weeks is using this theater to test only 16 ounce sugary sodas. You can only buy at the moment bigger sodas for diet Coke and Coke Zero. They had people from Edison Research quizzing us as we left the theaters on what we thought of the new law for only small sizes of sugary sodas being sold in cinemas effective in March 2013.

In addition their bathroom at this theater today was pretty bad. One stall had a seat broken in half and another had all the toilet paper all over the floor.

Are you kidding me, $13.50 non matinee showings. I think this is even more expensive than Manhattan.

Apparently the downstairs theaters must be done or will be finished this week. On Friday 4 films are scheduled to be running there although all still starting after 4 PM.

I notice the Cinemart has no weekday showings this week before 4 PM. What’s going on here?

Went to 1:40 PM showing of “Atlas Shrugged II: The Strike” here today, $10 for matinee!!! $10 for matinee, is that price for all showings and they have no discounted times. If it is that’s quite extreme.

Was here yesterday to see “End of Watch”. The bottom area where the downstairs 3 screens are is closed off with a door to get through which you can see from the level you walk in from. The refreshment stand is gone and the ventilation system downstairs is gutted. Upstairs refreshment stand is open which I’ve never seen before but rarely have I gone to this theater in the evening. Wonder if their films opening will be in Bay Terrace Saturday and Sunday again. They have construction signs up saying the place will be worked on last weekend and the upcoming weekend between 7 AM and 5 PM each day. Bathroom has a new floor coming in

No, Fresh Meadows is closed this weekend, nothing on their marquee and both End of Watch and House at the End of the Street are playing Bay Terrace now, but only this weekend at the moment.

The theater is open again but still only 3 screens. They have openers End of Watch and House at the End of the Street plus a moveover of ParaNorman from Bay Terrace. According to the Bay Terrace manager the theater is getting totally redone in sections, not just new air conditioning but new seats, new designs on the walls etc. Wxpected to be fully back to normal in November and will seem like a brand new theater.

Actually, Resident Evil and The Possession will play Bay Terrace all week. This theater is closed this week but will reopen next week. They are getting their air conditioning fixed.

Due to the renovations of the Fresh Meadows theater the AMC Bay Terrace theater has both openers (Finding Nemo 3D and Resident Evil: Retribution) but also gets the Possession and the Expendables 2 from here. Now get this both Resident Evil and the Possession are only in Bay Terrace Friday and Saturday. Bay Terrace says Fresh Meadows is closed for a week and they’re playing their pictures. Now End of Watch scheduled to open the 21st has its times up on Fandango and the regular early morning shows seem to be back. Originally they said 3 or 4 months. Where do Resident Evil and the Possession go the rest of the week?

They are still open, went by the theater this afternoon. They are renovating the downstairs area so there will be only the 3 upstairs theaters open for the next to 3 or 4 months. Of course who knows if the escalator will be working. The regular ticket booth is closed off with them using the one closest to the expressway now. They say we have pictures AMC Bay Terrace doesn’t have but they’re getting nothing new this week. On Fandango only the film “End of Watch” opening September 21 has advance tickets being sold. Should be interesting here in the AMC theaters in this neck of the woods through the Christmas season.

Is there anyting weird happening here. The websites for Moviephone and Fandango show like only 5 pictures are there on 3 screens and the theater is opening after 3 pm. Also no one is answering their telephone. I know they have had escalator and elevator problems and last week when I went to “Expendibles 2” the bathroom floor was all covered up with some part of the floor missing. They show advance ticket sales for a film opening September 21 but Bay Terrace is getting the 2 openers this week and are selling another advance one. Are they having repair work done to the theater?

Due to the inclement weather today my wife wanted to see “The Intouchables” and we went here. This was my first visit to this theater. Does not give out free posters like the Kew Gardens theater nor independent film news like the one in Manhassett.

It’s August now and as we drove by there today nothing is happening, it’s just deserted.

Another big summer start here. Last week the Avengers at night all 6 screens. We’re not getting Dark Shadows, The Dictator, Battleship and Prometheus but hot dang we’re getting a Chinese epic this week.

This may not seem that ridiculous but it does to me. Currently the Avengers is on pace to break the alltime weekend record. If you look at the schedule on Fandango for this evening and considering the theater shows maybe 15 minutes of coming attractions and commercials before the films, at 9:30 pm “Marvel’s The Avengers” will be playing on all 6 screens!!!

I was here yesterday to see “The Three Stooges” and it was shown in auditorium 2. The sign says the theater can hold no more than 250 people which is I believe the seating listed in someone else’s comment from 2009. It looked smaller to me despite what the sign said so I counted and came up with 185 seats. It’s weird too how they have 2 seats in one corner in the back and I believe 1 each by themselves in the back for the middle section and the left side of the theater.

The $4 surcharge on 3D films has been reduced back to $3. I don’t how long this has been for since I’ve managed to see 2D showings there of Ghost Rider, The Lorax and John Carter.
