El Lay: Remember the Paramount

"The Paramount recently underwent a multimillion-dollar renovation, with Disney picking up the check. Today, rechristened the El Capitan (its original name), it is very clean and stylish, with a presentation that brings applause even before the movie starts... The hitch is that only Disney films play there now—a far cry from the days when it took three of us to eject a barbiturate abuser who decided to dance in front of the screen while wearing a motorcycle helmet."

—from David J. Schow's essay, "Boulevard of Broken Screams." (This essay first appeared in the September 1993 issue of Fangoria, but was also reprinted in Schow's highly, highly recommended essay collection, Wild Hairs. Don't give me that look. Go track down a copy now.)
