yeah wow that was great! thanks for the recommendations, y'all, they helped push us over the top and we had a ball.the theater (one floor up, in columbia's new, quasi-dystopian manhattanville campus) is a nice room too, more of a wide black box theater than just a dinky little screening room. screen felt big, could really dive into the colors. sound was kind of painfully loud a few times, not sure if that was specific to the film, the settings in the control room, or the acoustics. but i'd def see a movie there again.

In response, the indie theater stopped using its subwoofers and turned down the default volume of its flicks to a “Level 4” out of 10
this may explain why viewings there are often mildly derailed by the honking chatter of people ascending the staircase to the apartments above
