I keep hearing rumors that the Arclight Cinerama Dome in Hollywood will soon reopen. These appear to all be rumors, even though a couple came from folks who anyone would consider good sources. According to this article in The New York Times, it's still closed as it has been since The Pandemic shut down so many things in this world.
This theater was more or less built to show its debut attraction, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, and it's where I first saw what I describe as my favorite movie. Since that first viewing there, I've seen the film many other places and many times at the Dome. It's a special experience to see it at the Dome and not just for me for nostalgic reasons. It kind of fits in there perfectly, reminding me of those theaters in Disneyland and other theme parks that were built to show just one thing. I've seen other movies there too.
I don't have much else to say about this. I just thought I'd bring you the news — which is that there's no news — and say for the umpteenth time that I hope the Arclight will reopen soon. It really was a great place to see any movie, not just my favorite.
