You know Letterbox movies with the Black masking on certain movies usually scope. People see them on TV and think the bottom and top have been cut,hence the word,LETTERBOX.
Another Late show moviegoer said he was"going To kick my ASS “ for making him stop smoking, After the movie never did see him. Late ShoWs brought out Augusta’s Finest.
Here is one from our late show crowd. I am standing by the back door looking down on our late show crowd when i spot a fellow close to the screen walk behind the curtains time i get down there he has peed all behind the curtain.Drunk as a skunk. Oh the good old late shows.
Chuck, thanks for clearing that up. I have family in the Cumberland Gap area so i would visit the old site.So now its a gas station. I was able to video tape it.
Also visited the TAZEWELL DRIVE-In over the mountain in Tenn. It is on CT.
Is the 4 plex still open in the mall. I couldn’t believe the prices for first run movies! {cheap}
How can anyone say 2001 was boring! Do you have any idea the talent that came from that film. You would have to see 2001 in70mm on a large screen.Well, forget about it.theatres today have SMALL screens.
Had it not been for the craftsmen on that film i would hate to see the direction of sci-fi. This Computer made stuff is the worst thing that happened to the movies.
For one thing it took jobs from behind the camera and it front of the camera.
Yeah,Your right.Last time I drove by the old CHEROKEE theatre it was selling furniture.I have the Skyway Drive in listed in Lafollette,but also was told of the STARLITE DRIVE in there.But I have no idea of its location.
The little twin theatre was still open and being run by Carmike,But really run down from what i could tell for looking outside into the lobby.
It would be a long shot,but if the Lafayette local paper had morgue they might be able to locate the times that Flatt&Scruggs played at the CHEROKEE.At least you could get the ad printed in that day’s issue.But most likely,the paper was a weekly. Still I am sure they ran movie ads.
The old carbon arcs with the 20 minute reels are in the booth. However,one projector was moved from its position.I think they are still in the booth.
Tim Campbell,the stage manager who like to show a film series.They have a nice Video set up,that when Tim ran a movie for me this old theatre dog was impressed since i am pro 35mm film,not discs,but it looked good. HE said LETTERBOX movies cause problems,because people think the movie is cut. I suggested using a masking like we did at GCC when we showed scope.
Tisloews,All i did and you could have done it was save every old BOXOFFICE magazine i would find at work and exploring old theatres. The owner of the KNOX THEATRE passed away .I reprinted a small part of his obit.
