Rough Times at The Pavilion
There were rumors swirling around this summer of bedbugs at the Pavilion, and just this weekend a Brooklynian poster put up some disconcerting photos of the theater itself. Yikes. Time for a gut renovation?

I prefer seeing movies in theaters, so does my husband. But not when the theater is cruddy or the patrons idiotic which rules out all the theaters in Brooklyn except BAM.
The Pavilion is disgusting. The seats have been in this condition for YEARS. It’s not new to anybody especially the owners and management. They simply do not give a rat’s a**. This person should have taken photos of the bathrooms too. I have never once found the soap dispensers full there. Which is very alarming because that’s the bathroom the employees use (I see them in there) meaning they’re serving food after wiping their hiney and not washing with soap. The Pavilion even being allowed to stay open seems to be clear evidence the NYC health department takes bribes.
dnark, I liked it. It was a better way to start the New Year than with “Black Swan”.
Quite a few of funny moments and well worth the $12. Could have used Wallis and Edward a little bit more as they are ghastly types and a nice contrast to Queen Mum/George VI.
Ditmas….lechacal reviewed The Kings Speech late in the OT, NYE Edition over the weekend.
Ah yes, I will make an exception for BAM, but I think the last film I saw there was Almodovar’s “Broken Embraces.”
DeLepp – How was “The King’s Speech”? I’ve been curious about that one.
I’ve only been here once, to see The Watchmen. I was on edge to notice crapitude, but didn’t really. The teenage clerk who sold me a child’s size popcorn was fine.
BAM
Angelika
IFC
Cinema Village
Clearview 1st and 62nd
are the only theaters I’ll go to, just about.
The Cobble Hill theater on Court St. is cheaper and cleaner.
The rickety seats are the least of this theaters problems. The patrons are the dregs of the earth. They’re often worse than what you find at UA Court ST.
I like BAM, the Angelika, Village East and IFC. I will do some Loew/AMC and Clearview theaters depending on location and time of day, mostly right after work since movies tend to be less crowded at those times. Fewer obnoxious people to deal with.
BAM was packed on Saturday. King’s Speech was sold out at 4:50.
Went to the Illusionist at the Paris on wednesday and got stuck behind a bunch of yammering idiots.
No one likes to go to a theater to see a movie?? Really? I feel like a shut-in if I stay at home watching a movie on my own TV.
