Looks like the Copley Place theater is closing. Can't say I'm surprised, although I'm a little bit sorry. They were a lousy theater but they were also the best bet for second run art flicks in Boston. Not, mind you, that I got down there very often. It's a pity, regardless.

I don't know how quickly the closing will take place, do you, Bryant? I'm SO frelling pissed that the closest theatre to my house is going to close. I go there alone a lot, too. I'll miss it, a lot. That's where I saw Amelie (all the times I saw Amelie...)

According to the link... damn. Tomorrow will be the last day.

Must be an Audrey Tatou synchronicity there. I saw Amelie there and I saw A Very Long Engagement there last night.

When I saw the sign saying they were closing, I thought: "Wow, that's a shame." After waiting nearly half an hour to buy tickets (from the concession stand for some reason) and then sitting in a crappy little theater that slants up instead of down, I got over it. AVLE was a good time, though.

Heh. Yeah.

I dunno. Lowes really did a number on movie theaters in Boston. I miss the Nickelodeon. And the Copley is really a big part of what killed the Orson Welles, in Cambridge, since they cut into its art film niche... bah.

Thank god for Landmark Theaters and the Somerville Theater and the Brattle and the Coolidge.
