Grindhouse @ Pavilion Cinema -- anyone go?

I wanted to check out "Grindhouse" at the Pavilion but was wondering if anyone knows if it's playing in the good theater or one of the shitty, small ones? At 3 hours plus I want a big screen and a nice seat.

    Don't know about the Pavillion, but I saw it at the Cobble Hill theater on Saturday. You might define it as a shitty theater but there was an actual intermission between the two halves...

    The Court Street theater by Atlantic isn't bad.

    The Pavillion is becoming a total crap hole. Depending on which theater you end up in, you'll find many of the seats to be broken, missing, or so filthy as to be nauseating. I've sworn more than once never to return - and after my last visit I plan on keeping that promise. It's BAM or Manhattan from now on.

    Slopehead... I so agree with you about the Pavillion. The theater is not being maintained. Bam is a delight!

    you forgot freezing. I swear it is colder *inside* the theaters than it is outside.

    Oh yes.... I may choose to wear my winter coat in a theater to be super cozy but sitting still in the Pavillion in cold weather without your coat and scarf and gloves is torture!. I haven't been to this hell hole since january and don't plan to go back. That theater on Court Street (whatever it is called.. might be the 12 screen monstocity is just so unappealing to me. Saw one film there and never went back.

    hey the theaters of my youth are gone like the Loew's Premier in East Ny and all those Palaces on Flatbush Ave but I want to be warm and comfortable and not have my feet stuck to the floor when I try and get up. Is that too muchto ask for??

    Well, I went yesterday and I've got to defend Pavillion for their matinées. As long as you can see a movie in one of the two good (big) theaters, it's a pretty nice experience. Watching Grindhouse was great -- $7.50 ticket, big screen, nice seats, stoopid fun on the screen. All of the rest of the theaters are horrible, though. If you can catch a brand new movie during a matinée in a good theater, it's not a bad deal at all.

    Useful tip: (718) 369-0836 is the direct line to the box office. Find out what theater a film is showing in before you go. They *love* it when you call. ;)
