If I can make an off the wall suggestion…
Go to the theatre and try to find out what the problem was?
Can’t be good for ones mental and physical health obsessing over something for 4 ½ years.
Hello-
according to mOOse1111’s most recent post theaters should be allowed to have their escalators out of service for 4 ½ years. apparently that’s good customer relations.
Big Joe, you used to be so humble, it looks like you finally grew a pair…
actually it’s m00se1111 please and I’m disappointed how my resolution was twisted around so.
I didn’t condone the issue with the escalator.
I merely suggested that as a consumer, if I had an issue with a business - I’d go to that business and ask someone in charge what the problem was. Not come to some online forum and stew over something for what was it 4 ½ years if going back over the history of this page is any indication.
However if that’s how you’ve chosen to interpret my suggestion, then you go right ahead and have a lovely day.
Hello-
since you asked per se. everytime I went to the Cinema ½/3 I did in fact ask the highest up managerial staff member I could find about the escalator and no one was ever able to give me a straight answer.
Kanopy.com has added Searching For Mr Rugoff to it’s film base. If you have a public library/university card that is connected to Kanopy.com you can watch the film Here

Per Wikipedia, this theater premiered the original 5-½ hour 😵💫😵💫😵💫🤯🤯🤯 cut of Heaven’s Gate November 19th 1980 moved from Christmas 1979. The critics savage it. The audience despite the violence fell asleep!!! A week later it ess down to its most infamous version of 3hrs39mins version. This time the critics yawned and the audience demanded their money back. United artists was ruined for good. Michael Cimino only did 4 films til his death .
THAT’S HOLLYWOOD!
This theatre opened the 3 hr, 39 minute version of HEAVEN’S GATE. The 5 hour plus version was not shown to the public.
