Rough Times at The Pavilion
There were rumors swirling around this summer of bedbugs at the Pavilion, and just this weekend a Brooklynian poster put up some disconcerting photos of the theater itself. Yikes. Time for a gut renovation?

“Who goes to the movies anyway?”
Couldn’t agree more!
Ugh, The Pavillion is an utter cr*phole. The last time I saw a move there, the sound went out in the middle of it, and they refused to give a refund.
I’m pretty much over seeing movies in the theater. Two tickets cost the same as 3 months of a Netflix subscription.

I agree. Since the behavior of most people at a movie theatre is typically moronic, there are very few I’ll go to…the Ziegfeld, one or two places in Philly.
That said, I haven’t been to one in about 8 years!!!
I didn’t know theaters in this day/age existed in that condition. Why would anyone go there? I bet the porn theaters in midtown are in better shape (if they still exist).
Cloth and fabric seats are the best!
I went to go see The King’s Speech on New Year’s Day at 7 at BAM; the entire lobby was jam packed. Every show was sold out for that hour.
We were there last week and also noticed what a dump the place has turned into. Lots of broken seats. Also, they put the volume up way too loud.
It totally sucks. I remember the Pavilion opening in the 90’s and it was great having the theater here in my neighborhood, before then I’d go to Cobble Hill or the Alpine for movies. I remember seeing Independence Day and the Star Wars re-releases on their massive screen (now 4 different theaters). The ever changing theater set-up hasn’t been kind to the theater, to the point where I don’t even bother anymore. It’s a shame, the Pavilion had a heyday, it’s long gone though.

cloth and fabric seats should be banned.
