Shattuck Cinemas

Downtown Berkeley’s Shattuck Cinemas will be shutting its doors Wednesday after 34 years of service, as first reported by Berkeleyside.

High school student Ryland Walker Knight sat on the edge of his seat, eyes peeled open at the movie screen ahead. Struck by the beauty of the production, he dragged his friend to Berkeley’s California Theater for their second screening of Inland Empire in two days.  

Have you ever slid into the Facebook direct messages of a movie theater? Now I can say that I have, and it ghosted me. 

I thought I would have more time to say goodbye to Berkeley in the only way I know how — a long walk around the city and campus.

The developer who proposed to transform the lot at 2211 Harold Way into an 18-story high-rise, which has stirred up opposition among some Berkeley residents, pulled out of its contract last week.

Throughout it all, I’ve been working tirelessly to keep you updated on all things arts and entertainment, and I will continue to do so until the bitter end.

Welcome to March! The month of my birthday, St. Patrick’s Day and March Madness (which I don’t follow, but would assume is also in March given the name).

Halloween is just around the corner, and I just read this article by The New York Times about a Harry Potter-themed exhibition by the New-York Historical Society. So today, I’m in the mood to learn more about owls.

I don’t know about you, but I’m excited for UC Berkeley classes to start back up this Wednesday. But first, there are two days left of summer break, and I plan to make the most of them.

You’re Berkeley-ed out — you’ve seen enough movies at Shattuck Cinemas, the Big C is too familiar and your spot on Memorial Glade still has imprints from the last time you sat there. So it’s time to venture out.
