What's New
28 Dec 96- Updated the Revival & Repertory listings.
- Changed nearly all the files in the Info Desk menu.
- Changed menuing in a number of areas, mostly theater reviews.
- Added forms for sending information or comments to Movieville.
- Added 26 more LA theaters.
- Posted something to Facts & Rumors.
- Tweaked some menus and organizational bits.
- Updated the Revival & Repertory listings.
- Updated the Revival & Repertory listings.
- Added review for the Four Star.
- Updated comments in reviews for the Bruin, Dome, Festival, Mann Westwood, New Beverly, NuWilshire and State (Pasadena).
- Updated much of the menu system again, finally deciding I like it with two bars on every page. Do you?
- Added items that aren't quite ready yet to the menu as text items. They'll be clickable in the near future. You may occasionally find a link that doesn't work yet or leads to a placeholder page; my apologies.
- Divided the events page into two, with revival getting its own space, and putting them both under the movietimes page as submenus. Replaced the main menu item for Events with Movies, a section I have to write now I guess.
- Rebuilt all of the review files as tables, so they look better. Sorry for all you lynx users; I realize it's getting ugly out there.
- Big apologies if you had trouble getting through on Sat 30 Nov 96 or Sun 01 Dec 96; it appears my server was having big problems. Grr.
01 Dec 96
- Updated some events listings.
- Posted this page, adding links for it from the Directory.
- Updated the site map.
- Updated the site map again, with some reorganization.
30 Nov 96
- Added links to the IMDB for films on the events and revival page.
29 Nov 96
- This page is new. Thus, everything is new. I'd go back and check modification dates but everything was changed (twice!) in the last two days due to a global design change.
- Added the site map.
28 Nov 96
- Changed the header logo. I'm not adverse to new logos, or rotating among a set - send one along if you like, in Interlaced GIF, GIF, PICT, or MacPaint formats. (I have limited tools for graphics.) It must be 472 pixels wide and 60 pixels tall. If I get any really cool ones I'll use them for a while, crediting you.

What's Changed
31 Dec 96A good month, with 2138 hits (again, not counting the header graphic!), with a total of 4598 known hits for 1996. Thank you!
30 Nov 96
Growing quickly. November saw refinements of the menu system, more areas, a subdivision on the theater listings, a new offline database to assist in the construction and tracking of theater review info, a new logo and 1393 hits for the month.
31 Oct 96
Designed a logo, revamped the menu system, organized more info and pages and opened offically. Advertised in a few newsgroups, applied for and got listed on both Yahoo and Yahoo Los Angeles, and sent the URL to a few other search engines. The day the Yahoo and Yahoo LA listings went up, hits increased dramatically. 461 hits for the month, mostly in the last three days.
30 Sep 96
61 hits for the month. Split the one massive review file into individual files.
31 Aug 96
56 hits, maybe more - I'm missing some records here. Slow, though.
31 Jul 96
146 hits for the month. Could have been me, who knows, while testing and whatnot.
30 Jun 96
93 hits for the month. I think I decided what the place should be like.
31 May 96
98 hits for the month. Expanded the theater list some, if I remember correctly.
30 Apr 96
80 hits for the month. Added some May screenings, not much else.
31 Mar 96
72 hits for the six days left in March. Seems like a good start.
25 Mar 96
A few days old, Movieville gets a name and its own directory in my space. With a directory comes the ability to track hits, for the whole directory only but hey, it's better than nothing, right? BTW the header logo that appeared some months later is stored in another directory, so the hits rate isn't artificially inflated.
Mid-Mar 96
Hey, what the web needs is a list of the special screenings in LA. Simple. Wouldn't take much time. Stupid me....
