Member whitesnake Posted April 6, 2019 Member Share Posted April 6, 2019 Since I used to watch Asian films only at the theaters in S.F. Japantown and Chinatown, I'm not familiar with the New Mission Theater. It's a restored San Francisco landmark. After its latest restoration, is it still a movie palace? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Mission_Theater,_San_Francisco Viewing Holy Flame of the Martial World sounds like an event for The Red Lantern: Bay Area Asian Cinephiles Meetup Group.

Member whitesnake Posted April 17, 2019 Member Share Posted April 17, 2019 South Van Ness Ave. runs pretty close to the New Mission Theater, but there's a new theater going in on Van Ness quite a few blocks away. Variety.com reports that "South Korean cinema exhibition giant CJ CGV is to open its third U.S. multiplex cinema [in early 2020]... located at 1000 Van Ness Ave., near San Francisco's Civic Center and Union Square. It will be equipped with Korean-developed cinema technologies, 4DX, which enhances on-screen visuals, with synchronized motion seats and environmental effects such as wind and rain, and ScreenX. A 270-degree, multi-projection system that allows audiences to go beyond the frame of the traditional movie screen. With 14 screens and 2,217 seats, the complex will be the largest of the three operated by CJ-CGV in North America... The company said that the facility will show primarily Hollywood blockbusters movies. It will also include showings of foreign films and alternative content, 'serving diversity and dynamic cultures within the region.' " Sounds like a good reason to visit S.F. if the CJ CGV is going to show a very good foreign film.
