Just saw Blue Jasmine there this evening. My first introduction to the Oriental was when I moved to a small efficiency apt. on the east side and went every night to see old Buster Keaton films - for a buck a film. That was a while ago - long before the theatre was split into 3 screens. I have never been to the Rocky Horror Picture Show - though I love the tunes. Gotta get there some day before they stop showing it.

I've never actually gone to Rocky Horror Picture Show either, but my daughter has.
