Now it's held aat

Edwards University Town Center 6
4245 Campus Drive, Irvine

Wonder who's in charge of that theater?

They'll keep trying to hold this, and we'll keep trying to stop them.

We're unrelenting.

GREAT INDEPENDENT THEATRE

11/20/2006 Posted by ashtabula
Looking for a great little independent theatre that plays all of the latest independent films? Look no further. They always have the best service, no lines, current releases.
Pros: current films
Cons: popcorn butter machine
Great art house

07/26/2006 Posted by cambird
This is an art house theater owned by a major chain. When I make the trek down to Orange County from L.A., this is typically where I see films. The facilities are nothing special, but they get a lot of great flicks. Check it out if you're 'round.

So, is it independent or owned by a chain?

The Grand Lake Theatre in Oakland is independent and has nearly weekly 9/11 Troofer events. The owner has a severe case of political dementia.

Wonder if this Edwards place has a similar story?

Regal Cinemas might listen to us.

They are usually VERY conservative, as in right-wing.

Look at the political donations of the owner.

Edwards is a giant cinema corporation, part of the even larger Regal family if I'm not mistaken (which also includes UA theaters).

The Grand Lake Theatre in Oakland is independent and has nearly weekly 9/11 Troofer events. The owner has a severe case of political dementia.

Allen Michaan is his name. I worked for him for many years. His theaters are mostly failures but he makes money on the side in antiques. He's a real piece of work (not my first word choice). Oh yeah, he's also a classic, text-book definition of a self-hating Jew.

I used to go to an Edwards theater in Long Beach, CA but the quality of their work was so bad that one too many times we had to leave when the movie didn't air properly.
Only one time did the management give us our money back.
They are scrapping the bottom of the barrel, employee-wise.
