Sorry, not movieman. Manwithnoname. My apologies.

I paged through movieman’s John Margolies link. There are some great color photos of old theaters on the website. Well worth a look.

I saw Volcano at this theater in 1997. Nothing memorable comes to mind.

I have lived and worked in the Marina for twenty years, and have been to the UA twice. That should give you some idea of its reputation.

Does anyone think that today’s kids will fondly remember when their parents took them to the Megaplex 24 to see Weekend at Bernies VI? Sometimes it’s better to be old.

I walked by the location last week. Silver City is not open to the public, so there is no way to tell what kind of business this is.

Is Nash implying that his parking lot will soon replace the theater?That’s kind of tacky, isn’t it?

If the even numbers are on the east side of the street, going south, then this theater would be where the Holiday Inn is now, across from the Pantry and somewhat adjacent to the Staples Center.

I drive down Vermont when I want to stay off the Harbor Freeway. I will check it out and let you know.

$1,100 to buy the theater? I’ll take it.

I am going to downtown LA next week. I was going to check out the interior of the Globe, but I will take a look at this building as well. The court that I appear in is in the Broadway building on 4th Street.

I think this is a Korean church now.

I always thought that this was either a theater or a bowling alley. Thanks for the info.

Movieman, did you know that Debra Winger was the voice of ET?

I just drove by that location last week. I will look for the marquee (if it still exists) when I go to Van Nuys next Monday.

I thought the Vineland was strictly a swap meet. Do they still show films there?

kencmcintyre commented about San Gabriel Drive-In on Sep 17, 2005 at 4:31 pm

The classic film “Dorm that Dripped Blood” was released in 1982 and featured Daphne Zuniga as a victim dispatched early in the procedings. Thus you can assume that this drive-in was in existence at least until the early 1980s.

I saw Star Wars at this theater in May 1977. When I left the theater at ten o'clock at night, there was a line of people waiting for the late show that must have been half a block long.

This theater was showing Korean or possibly Japanese movies a few years ago. I haven’t driven by in a while, but they seem to vacillate between art films, foreign films and the occasional first run film.

When was this theater demolished?

kencmcintyre commented about Rialto Theatre on Sep 16, 2005 at 7:31 pm

I saw “Lost in Translation” and “Cidade de Deus” at this theater a few years ago. It’s showing its age but is still a classic.

I guess they showed short films…

I walked by this theater a few months ago. It is certainly in good enough shape to be renovated.

I drove by this theater shortly after it closed. The marquee stated “Closed Forever”. Too bad.

Actually, the theater would have been on the west side of the street, if I can correct myself. I have lived on the West Coast too long and automatically assume that anything going away from the beach is east.
