Why Cinepolis and the La Paloma Didn't Make the Cut
Where do you people get your information? La Paloma is open nearly 365 days a year, i can count on two hands the number of times we've been dark in twenty years, we routinely fill the house with specialty, live shows and premiere screenings, we do project scope although the lenses are old and crappy and the 2:35 aspect ratio is cropped to 1:85 (flat) in order to fit the proscenium stage, that's the compromise we accept having a theatre with a stage. our sound is not mono and has improved immensely over the years it is Dolby SR running through a Sony SDDS processor with plans to upgrade to a Dolby CP650 as the budget permits, we just spent $50,000- on a digital cinema projector as the studios are rapidly moving away from film, sometimes i can't even get a 35mm print... we are faced with unprecedented challenges year in and year out, running La Paloma is like trying to restore an antique automobile while commuting to Los Angeles on a daily basis. i am fully aware of our shortcomings and i have no problem with not making "the list" i just get upset when i read miss information, perhaps that's why i typically don't put much credence in the critics opinions. Oh yea Rocky Horror is a 35mm print and is in very good condition compared to the prints you will find in most other cities presentations.— May 31, 2012 2:35 p.m.
