I miss the New Beverly. Since starting my new job I have not been able to get back there for any screenings. I still like keeping up with what is playing in hopes that one day I will get back there. This morning I drove by to pick up the June calendar and was saddened to discover that one of the regulars, Monty Lewis, who I had spoken to several times had passed away. There was this memorial in front of the theater for him. Monty was a fixture at the New Beverly and anyone who frequented the theater knew who he was. He had an amazing knowledge of film and spoke passionately about them all. He seemed to be going to the movies almost every night. He was at the New Bev several nights a week and I know he talked about seeing films at the American Cinematheque and Cinefamily. He lived for movies. It is sad that he is gone. This is something I saw today.
