San Francisco’s Century-Old Castro Theatre🎬🤖

🏚️ Farewell (For Now) to an Icon Heard the news? The historic Castro Theatre is closing for a major renovation starting February 2025 (for at least a year!) 15. So I seized the chance to catch one last movie in its OG glory—and what a night it was! 🤖 Movie for Maniacs: A Perfect Double Feature First Half: Blade Runner (1982) – "Do androids dream of electric sheep?" in glorious 35mm! Second Half: RoboCop (1987) – Dystopian Detroit never looked so good on the big screen. Bonus: Pre-show live organ performance (a Castro tradition since 1979!) 5, plus collectible movie cards handed out at the door 🎫. 🌌 Coming Soon: 2001: A Space Odyssey Missed this one? Don’t worry—next Sunday features Kubrick’s sci-fi masterpiece in 70mm! 🌈 More Than Just a Theater Located in the LGBTQ+ heart of SF (Castro District) 5—explore rainbow crosswalks, Harvey Milk’s legacy, and vibrant bars pre/post-movie. Architectural gem: Spanish colonial exterior, "leather-like" ceiling (the only one in the U.S.!), and murals that feel like a Mexican cathedral 35. 💡 Pro Tips for Visitors: ✔️ Check the sing-along events (e.g., La La Land) or queer film festivals 2. ✔️ Arrive early to admire the Wurlitzer organ prelude 4. ✔️ Post-renovation, expect upgraded seating and tech—but hopefully the soul remains! #CastroTheatre #SciFiNight #BladeRunner #RoboCop #SFLandmarks #LGBTQSF #BayAreaEvents
