Look really good to me while I was there. I'd have to say that was the best equipped art house I have ever seen, or probably ever will. Well, who knows what the future holds?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-05-2002 06:25 AM                     Yes indeed, Strong did a very nice job in refurbishing those machines. They ran excellent. The Magnolia's choice of using CP650s in all auditoriums was a VERY smart thing to do, especially since it is an art house and few art films have dts or sdds tracks on them. Although the video did not show the lobby and theater, I did take pictures of the place with my still camera and those will appear at some point or another in the warehouse. (However much or little time it takes, it will of course not be quick enough for Ian. )  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-05-2002 01:13 PM                     Oh no Brad, it's only been 7 weeks since I sent you those pictures from the Wide Screen Weekend in Bradford England. Take your time. I wouldn't want you to feel rushed or anything.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-05-2002 05:19 PM                     Ok, remind me in another 7. I'll work on other things in the meantime.  |  IP: Logged William T.

I call him that since Brad said I was a Mini Ian when he was at my theatre in November. I sent Brad a whole slew of pictures from Cine 6 in Corpus the week it closed over 4 months ago. He has not posted them Either.... I am sure he will get to it when He gets to it.  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-08-2002 02:34 PM                     I installed slide projectors in the (Then Silver) Corpus 6. It was 117 degrees that day. I waited till 8:00 PM to drive out to the island and go swimming. There were a couple of hundred other people, that day on the beach with the same idea. I remember the Corpus 6 as being the second nicest theatre I visited for Silver. There was a relatively new 10-plex in El Paso that was as nice. But I got the impression that the Manager and her Old Projectionist really cared for the place. Most of the Silver properties were very messed up with major problems. I remember the Corpus 6 as being clean, cool and well maintained. It's a shame it's closed.  |  IP: Logged
