This is a short documentary about Grauman's Egyptian

This is a short documentary about Grauman's Egyptian Theatre, site of the first big premiere of a film and a historic Hollywood movie theatre that has recently been restored to its former glory. Filmmakers offer quotes extolling the movie-going experience (they also interviewed a ticket taker who worked at the theatre-he has some interesting stuff to say!) while we get a quick tour of the theatre and see some historic photos and film of the role it has played in the promotion and distribution of film. It's also padded out with a lot of great old movie scenes.

This short 10 minute documentary celebrates the legacy

This short 10 minute documentary celebrates the legacy of the famous Egyptian theatre in Hollywood as it undergoes restoration. Famous filmmakers like Rian Johnson and Guillermo del Toro discuss the importance of the movie theater experience. It’s a shame this film was so short. I would have enjoyed a feature length film that goes into greater detail about the Egyptian Theatre and its history. This short film was a very quick, surface level promotional piece. If you love movies and film history, I would say this is still a film worth watching.

This is NOT about the Egyptian Theatre!

This is just a few minutes of several Talking Heads (mostly Director Guillermo del Toro & a few others I never heard of) giving their personal opinion on watching a movie on a big screen.We learn basically nothing about the Egyptian Theatre. Not what makes it different; why it was built; who built it; where it is located. We get a couple of pics without reference plus some very short film footage of a movie premiere.This should have been even shorter. The talking heads were worthless. Cut that out and leave the minutes and a half. Or better yet, just skip this excuse for a documentary.
