No more movies at Copley Place

Ron reports:

I happened to walk through the Copley Place mall tonight and notice this sign on the cinema marquee:

CLOSING JAN 30TH THANK-YOU FOR YOUR PATRONAGE

Once this closes, there will be only two movie theatres wholly within Boston city limits: AMC Fenway and Loews Boston Common.

I can honestly say that I've got mixed feelings about the closing of that particular cinema. On the one hand, having been in there once or twice, I, too agree that there was something kind of wierd about the whole set-up of it; that the theatre screens WERE kind of like oversized TVs, and that one could hear the movie(s) in the theatre screen(s) on either side of the theatre that they were in. However, it would've been nice, instead of closing it down altogether, if they'd thought of someway to alter it to make it a more pleasant place, such as maybe creating one or two really great big, wide screens, instead of multiplexex, which aren't needed, because there are MORE than enough multiplex cinemas as it is--too many of them, in fact, AND, since there's a real dearth of revival movie houses here in Boston, to at least consider making it into a theatre where they played older classics, artsy movies, indy movies, etc. Because, contrary to popular belief, a lot of people really DO want to see the older, venerable classic films on the great big wide screens.
