Issues with the screen at Cobble Hill movie theatre

tuckpendleton · January 2007

I am posting this here and BoCoCa since I assume I am not the only one who takes the F over to Cobble Hill to the Court St. theatre there, as opposed to suffering through the Pavilion.

(To be clear, I am talking about the smaller 4-screen at Court and Kane, not the multiplex at Court and Atlantic.)

My question is this: has anyone else noticed that the screens themselves seem to be severly underlit, causing the movies to look much darker than they should?

Also -- does anyone know the correct terms for these lights? I wanted to speak to the manager on my last visit, but wanted to be able to use the right term. Could it be a problem with the projector? Or the projector being set incorrectly? I'm sure we have a movie-theatre-phile somewhere on there that can answer this...

(And yes, this theatre shows a lot of indie movies -- which is great! -- which will have lower budgets and thus not look as sharp, but this dimness in the screen seems to occur regardless of studio or indie pic.)

Thanks!

I think you should just say that the screens are severely underlit, unless someone knows of a term. ?

I saw two movies there on Sunday and I didn't notice but we were very close up and I'll pay more attention next time.

Plus it's $9 which is very nice (comparatively).

speaking of the Pavilion, I've heard that they agreed way back to show indie films in the neighborhood and then reneged apparently. does anyone know about this? thanks!

My landlord owns the Cobble Hill cinemas, so it doesnt surprise me that there are problems with the screens. He never fixes anything in our apt either unless you threathen him with legal action.
