Northshore Cinema 8

Blogger contributor Giant and I went to the 6:30 showing of King Kong. The seats where comfortable, the Dolby sound awesome, and picture quality superb. Mr. Dinger was there making sure everything went off without a hitch. There was small alignment issue with the projector during the previews that he had the control room fix within a few minutes. A guy I work with said the projector broke down during the late show on Tuesday night but their money was refunded. No harm no foul, no premiere is without its problems! Looks like that they are getting all the issues worked out.

My only complaint (really had nothing to do with the theater) concerns a row of Jr. High kids sitting behind us who talked and played around during the entire movie. I and other movie goers scolded them repeatedly to no avail. I moved to a different seat (just call me Gandhi). Afterwards I mentioned this to the owner and he assured me had I said something he would have taken care of the issue immediately-“my bad” for not doing that. I do think it would be helpful to have the ushers make a few rounds to -keep order- when there are a lot of teenagers present. I don't know about other Portlanders but I very grateful Mr. Dinger decided Portland was a great place to invest in!
