And Penn and Teller do the same thing with a nice reveal:

Antonio Gaudi at the Paris Theater, NYC

I am a big fan of architecture, and yesterday I went to the Paris Theater to see Antonio Gaudi, a movie from director Hiroshi Teshigahara. The movie is without narration but is given movement and life by an excellent score. As other reviews have noted the film is quite a visual poem, and recommended if you are into architecture and art films.

But I do have to say that the reason I am posting this is to gripe. The Paris Theater in NYC is one of the leading independent theaters for art films in the city. The quality of the print that they had along with the sound was really quite bad -- lots of dirt on the print and lots of sparks on the sound. Further to that, nowhere on the ads in front and the description of the movie do they tell you that this is not a new movie. Nope... this is a movie from 1984!! All of that was something that I dealt with and was mostly ok with.

What annoyed me far more was a guy in the theater taking flash photographs every 10 to 15 minutes or so. I finally saked him to stop, and did he? Nope, went right on doing it. I had to go find someone in the theater to make him stop, which is annoying in itself since I miss part of the movie due to someone elses selfishness.

Making things worse? You couldn't find a single person that worked in the theater, which is pretty tiny. I ended up searching for about 10 minutes before I found the guy who is the usher. I told him about it, and the guy went in and told the guy to stop. That was it. Afterwards I talked to the manager who just said "Sorry. They guy said it was an accident." I explained that this happened throughout the movie, and the manager just went through the motions of saying sorry.

If the theater actually had an usher in the movie, this would never have happened. To have to search for someone and not find them is ridiculous. And there is no where on the website that lets you contact them, other than a phone number for the box office. Talk about crappy service -- not something you expect from an independent theater on Fifth Avenue.

So In general, this is a big BOOOOOOOO to Paris Theater.
