This was such an informative article-- I had no idea that Pittsburgh's Hollywood Theatre even existed, let alone that there was such a dramatic fight surrounding the future of the theatre and its patrons. I am always happy to hear about movie theatres that play films that are not being shown everywhere and that are not currently being given the attention that they necessarily deserve. While I do really like watching Oscar nominated films and big blockbusters when they come to theatres, I do think that it also really important to get a film education through older films, arthouse style films, and so on. Watching movies like this, especially as a designer, can give you so much more exposure to material that might inspire you in your own work, and it will allow you to start putting things in your work that are outside of the norm. I really hope that the Dormont Historical Hollywood Theatre does not go away anytime soon, and I will be planning a trip there as soon as possible!
