The day will come when these older downtown theatres will become "the place" to see a film. Whether it be multi-plex burnout or digital fallout, it will happpen. I only hope there will be some around when this trend occurs.  |  IP: Logged Andrew Duggan Expert Film Handler Posts: 127 From: Albany, NY, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 02-06-2003 02:01 PM                        I've been saying the same thing for a couple of years.
