and I have to say it: The Balboa Theater is a dump, ruined when it was split into two screens. It has terrible sightlines and soundbleed.

I saw a film there with subtitles and the projectionist had to choose between cutting off the top of the picture and cutting off the subtitles.

2005 was the one year I skipped the Noir Festival. I knew it would return to the Castro after Eddie was finished having his fit about Anita Monga being fired. Dude cut off his nose to spite his face.
