Author Topic: Need ideas for naming my theater Sam Hunter Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 779 From: West Monroe, LA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 07-07-2003 10:27 PM                     This is a two point type subject. I am not happy with my pet name for my theater but I can't think of anything I like. I figure with all the wordly folks on FT maybe we can come up with something. Also what are some of the more stately theater names you have come across? Thanks.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 07-07-2003 11:05 PM                       Regent Lyric Town Hall (had to throw that one in) Majestic Palace Ritz Jewel Roxy Strand and, some from the early years...

Since I know you from film-tech, you won`t have to pay any royalties for using my name.  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-08-2003 12:49 AM                        Bijou Dream Sam's Electric Theatre  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-08-2003 01:42 AM                  Mike, can I help you make sure it's a "memorial" theatre? >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

In addition to some seats, an Altec rack, some speakers, etc. I rescued a lovely brass placque from one of the doors which reads "screening room". That's done it for me ever since!  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 07-08-2003 08:34 AM                        Sam's Swingin' "Sin"ema The Living Room Home Theater Clickity clicky room The Sharper Image The Reel World Hunter's High-Priced Hobby Curt the Brenkert (for the projector itself) Samerama Room of Awe  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-08-2003 01:50 PM                        Screens R Us The Big Video (for when Digital Cinema arrives)  |  IP: Logged Don Bruechert Mmmmmmmmm, bird!

I'm trying to forget, not remember you. Mike said: "Phil - for living legends, it`s OK to erect monuments to celebrate them in their lifetime, but thanks for the offer." If it was meant to be a living legend, then a name such as "The Michael Schaffer Monumental Erection Memorial Theatre" would seem more approiate. But, somehow I don't think Mrs. Hunter would like that name. >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Michael Gonzalez Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 790 From: Grand Island , NE USA Registered: Sep 2000 posted 07-08-2003 03:06 PM                     Movie-Hut  |  IP: Logged
