MAYA CINEMA HAS SOME FINE IDEAS FOR FEBRUARY!!

Posted:  22 Jan 13

YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO KNOW

That Amanda Daoud is House Manager for MAYA-Pittsburg and our regular contact there.  Today, she mentioned that all the theater's managers will be attending tonight's ceremony at City Hall!

She also asked me to let you know a few things about their plans to make February as enjoyable as possible.

VALENTINE'S DAY*

"1st Annual Sweetheart Dinner and a Movie on Valentine's Night. It is $45 a couple and will be catered by Little J's of Pittsburg." [Little J's is that neat little sandwich shop, next to "the 7-11", and which serves awesome food -- my favorite; Tri-tip hoagie with perfect fries. (and no, I don't get paid to tell you about the good things I happen to find -- have to be objective)]

FEBRUARY RETRO MOVIES 

Thursday evenings/Saturday mornings/Sat. "breakfast club"

"Also, we are starting back up with our Retro Movies, but next month it is going to be a little different:"

• "We are going to have it at 7 pm on Thursdays and 10 am on Saturdays. 
• We will have free coffee and doughnuts or bagels for our Saturday guests. 
• It will be sort of like a Breakfast Club. "

Retro Thursday's & Saturday's
for February

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Breakfast at Tiffany's: *2/14 and 2/16

Titanic: 2/21 and 2/23

The Color Purple: 2/28 and 3/2/13 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MARK THOSE CALENDARS!

Industry Recognition for MAYA CINEMAS 16 (and This CITY-JOURNAL)!!

Posted:  12 Mar 13

Dear Readers,

I am delighted to report that our friends at Maya Cinemas 16, Pittsburg, have received special mention in the February 2013 edition of the Film Journal International -- the global trade monthly for the theatrical exhibition industry -- in the article, entitled "Cinemas Reach Out to Under-served Communities," by Andreas Fuchs.

I am also deeply gratified by Mr. Fuchs' favorable references to this very "Pittsburg City-Journal (PCJ)" and to our efforts, on behalf of our community (and myself), to celebrate the recent emplacement of this very welcome entertainment complex within our midst.  

He based portions of his fine article on excerpts from the series of PCJ articles (such as this example).  To view, in full, the other original PCJ articles involved, please use the City-Journal's search box feature (key word: MAYA) or find links to them in the "Lists of Territorial Bulletins, 2012 and 2013" (posted at the top left corner of the PCJ bulletin board).

Below is Mr. Fuchs' cover letter (in section 1), which transmitted his article (in section 2).  I invite your special attention to pages 31 & 32 of the embedded piece, at the paragraph beginning with the words "Speaking of calendars, we close our Diversity Class with a nod to (recent) history. It’s a good thing that Maya Cinemas..."

1.  January 20, 2013 Letter from Andreas Fuchs

Dear David Nelson,

I  was very impressed with the passion and details of your reporting about Maya Cinemas. I felt it was appropriate to share this with our industry readers in "Film Journal International," the global trade monthly for the theatrical exhibition industry.

For your files -- and as a thank you -- I attached a pdf copy of the second session of the "Class of 2012," to be published in our February 2013 edition. I hope you'll enjoy the reading assignment. :-) The ninth annual series has also been posted online per below and additional pdf copies of the layouted versions are available at http://bit.ly/ccclass2012.

Thank you again for supporting Maya Cinemas and the moviegoing experience in general.

With regards and good wishes, Andreas.

City Council Honors MAYA CINEMAS -- 1/22/13

Posted:  Tuesday, 22 Jan 13

1.  At tonight's City Council meeting, in the regular 7:00 pm session, City Hall, "Maya Cinemas -- Pittsburg" will be honored by official proclamation.  The beautiful presentation document, signed by Mayor Nancy Parent and City Clerk Alice Evenson, may be viewed by following this link which presents a list of published meetings (Click to "view" the Jan 22 agenda packet, and open the proclamation near the top of the list of supporting materials)


2.  As so aptly expressed in that proclamation, "Maya Cinemas— Pittsburg demonstrated its faith in the future of the city by renovating and reviving a dying movie theater, thus helping to ensure the success of the Century Plaza Shopping Center with increased foot traffic for surrounding retail establishments, and which will pay dividends to the community for many years to come..."


3.  Here are other articles on this blog, pertaining to Maya:

• MAYA CINEMAS KEEPS STRIVING FOR US!
• MAYA CINEMA: September 2012 Events
• MAYA CINEMAS -- SPECIAL SOUND SYSTEMS
• NEW MAYA PITTSBURG CINEMAS-16 Opened 8/3/12
• Pittsburg's Brenden Theatre to close; re-open as Maya Cinemas (article dtd 3/14/12)

4.  This very welcome enhancement of our territory is, I believe, receiving the warm reception it truly deserves, as evidenced by filled parking lots, enthusiastic public comment, and a new and conspicuous feel of vitality surrounding that portion of the City, since "friend-Maya" opened 5 months ago.

CONGRATULATIONS, MAYA!

If you can... come to the City Council meeting, tonight, to show your appreciation.  

If you can't make it, I'll clap extra loud and hard for you
and see you at the movies.

David Nelson

MAYA CINEMAS KEEPS STRIVING FOR US!

Posted: 12 Nov 12


Purpose

This article announces another exciting new development from our friends at Maya Cinema 16 -- Pittsburg.  They remain tireless in trying to maximize the value of our entertainment dollars and experiences there.

They're at it again!!

What we've been waiting for is almost here.  Last Saturday, House Manager, Amanda Daoud, told me:

• That the moment is nearly here when we're all going to experience NEW SOUND SENSATIONS only available to 20 other Movie theaters IN THE WORLD -- and only 5 movie theaters IN CALIFORNIA!!  
• All because of Maya corporate-foresight and a great new breakthrough innovation from Dolby, called ATMOS (click here to experience a taste of ATMOS on the Dolby website).
• At the bottom of this article, you will find The Maya Cinema complex's ATMOS announcement flyer inserted.

We've already seen the ultimate example of Maya's foresight when they recently took the risk of setting up their beautiful new movie complex here in our midst -- to our eternal delight. (See the blog article, dated August 4)

The Curtain Goes Up!

On Wednesday, 11/14. they will be revealing their new "toys" to the media.  Then, we'll get to experience them:

• November 21 -- "Life of Pi"
• December 14 -- "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey"

By the way, on Sunday, 11/11, my wife and I enjoyed the latest James Bond movie (non-ATMOS) and the sound was already superlative.  I can hardly imagine improvements, but such are the exciting times in which we live.  As we left the auditorium, there was a huge, smiling and eager cleaning staff there to bid us adieu and to get the place spotless for the next group of guests.  

A HUGE BONUS

It's wonderful to see all the employment opportunities they are creating for our fine young folks, too.  For many, it's quite probably their first job -- they are practicing, beautifully, how to relate with the public (and each other and their bosses, as a team) and obviously doing it well -- gaining life-long, invaluable skills -- creating a work history -- earning good references -- making new friends -- smiling a lot -- and being paid, to boot!

Further, it seems that Maya has a particularly huge staff -- which is yielding fabulous customer service and security -- as well as creating lots of jobs.


As to Other November events: 

Since my NEAT scanner is giving me fits again, I decided to go ahead and type parts of the November flyer here.  I quote:

• Visit us on Tuesday for Family Days where *all movies are $5.50 (*excluding Sony Pictures and 3D films)
• Wednesday is Senior Day!  Tickets are $4.00 for all movies for Seniors (60+) -- *3D is $3.00 more
• Don't forget to check out our November Classic Series, Thursday Nights @ 7 pm.

[NORMAL WAYS TO COMMUNICATE WITH MAYA]

• For showtimes, please visit mayacinemas.com (click here) or call our recording at 925-753-1788
• "Like us" on Facebook (click here) for upcoming events and specials!

Editor's Note

• And, when you go and find that you had a grand time, don't forget to write a review on Yelp! (click here).  And, if there is anything that displeases you, tell them.  I have no doubt that your concerns will become theirs.  (Can't fix it, if they don't know about it).  Personally, I want them to succeed and show great profit returns (their just rewards!) and never encounter a single difficulty here.  They are now part of the family and I want them to stay here for a long, long time to come.

Movies Opening in November

1. Breaking Dawn, Part 2 -- PG-13
2. Wreck it Ralph -- PG (2D & 3D)

4. 007 Skyfall -- PG-13
