The Pavilion’s reputation as a movie theater has been slipping all winter as rumors of bed bugs and reports of broken heaters and seats have swept local media.

Face it, folks. The place is run down and gross.

But the theater, which is on Prospect Park West and 15th Street, does show some of the movies we want to see and they’ve got good projectors in there. Dontcha think a renovation is in order?

Cinedign, the corporate owner of the theater, FINALLY agrees with me and their own management team led by Ross Brunetti, who wrote a much blogged APOLOGY to the neighborhood for the theater’s derelict condition.

Great news, folks. According to the Brooklyn Paper, a make-over is underway. Cinedigm, has  approved a renovation and the first order of business is improved seating.

The place hasn’t been renovated since it opened in 1996. I’m taking a wait-and-see approach but am surely hoping they do a good job.

The neighborhood needs a nice movie theater.
