Park Slope (Sector 7): Back to the Future, 2009

So in combing through the digital annals of all things Park Slope, our fearless editor found a post from crude futures referencing of all things the 1992 cinematic brilliance of Freejack.

Don't remember the movie, that's ok...no one does. Yet we at FIPS decided to dip back to 2006 where a blogger caught the future vision of a Park Slope of 2009 portrayed in...wait for it: 1992. Blows your mind doesn't it? Fuck M theory, quantum physicists everywhere now have a new conundrum to work out.

Why The Pavilion Movie Theater Will So NOT 'Be A Palace Again'

Ok, so to catch all you btchz up:

1. The Pavilion movie theater sucks a dizzle cause all their chairs are broke and they don't even have a real ticket machine. Oh and it's like allegedly Grand Central Station for bedbugs.
2. The management wrote some note of apology to PSP recently, and explained that they're hoping to make renovations soon.
3. FIPS did a special investigative report into the ownership of the theater, and predicted that renovations were probs not gonna happen cause their parent company, Cinedign, clearly doesn't give a shit.
4. Renovations ARE happening, at least according to the Brooklyn Paper.

In fact, the Brooklyn Paper is claiming that the Pavilion is going to be a "movie palace" again.

Well I'm here to tell you why it's not.

IN-FIPS-TIGATION: Why The Pavilion Movie Theatre is a Dump

image via nycsoleICYMI, there were some lively discussions in the comments of our Pavilion theater post last week. 

The co-managers of that craptastical theater were offering their apologies for the broken seats and lack of heat, and trying to share the current state of affairs over there. Basically they claimed that: their hands are tied unless their budget requests for making repairs/upgrades are approved by their "holding company."

A few of you btchz got curious about this "holding company" sitch, and that's where the research began. FIPS reader Brad, in fact,  is a regular Sherlock Holmes apparently, and so he managed to bang out a pretty detail rich account of what *seems* to be going on over there. He attempted to get quotes from both the Pavilion managers and someone at the holding company, but no one called him back. Here's the scoop as best as Brad can piece it together:

Bedbugs At The Pavilion: An Official Statement

I got emailed yesterday by about a dozen concerned BREEDERS, all of whom were nice enough to pass along this juicy official statement (that appeared on PSP) from the managers of, what has quickly become, the worst movie theater in Brooklyn: The Pavilion.

This shit is actually kinda juicy: they talk bedbugs, they talk spooge covered purple seats, and they even allude to "proposed improvements." But yeah: in case you're wondering, they *do* seem to realize how hard the place sucks:

Let The Pavilion Movie Theater Hate Parade Rip

photo via Sugarpond on FlickrHonestly, I think we need to do a Pavilion undercover vid at this point. I mean, I have literally never in my life come across such raw, unadulturated hatred for a single lil ole movie theater before. We've said it before and we'll say it again: The Pavilion is the MOST hated movie theater in all of NYC.

Apparently the recent revulsion over their germ-infested, broken ass, purple seats is causing all y'all to get even more hot-n-bothered under the collar over the joint. Cause I received not one, but two separate emails yesterday from two very disgrustled FIPS readers who both seem to wish nothing but death and destruction upon The Pav.
