In a secret Paris cavern, the real underground cinem

quote:
Police in Paris have discovered a fully equipped cinema-cum-restaurant in a large and previously uncharted cavern underneath the capital's chic 16th arrondissement.

Officers admit they are at a loss to know who built or used one of Paris's most intriguing recent discoveries.

^ Correct, in fact, they don't have a screen, but a big fucking mirror sat right in front of all of the diners.

There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said.

Yeah right.. someone took the time and effort to secretly built a diner, theatre, recorded close circuit tv system, and a michael jackson-eseqe alarm system in an underground catacomb, and the cops just leave the place for 3 days. These people somehow managed to get the place wired for electricity and phone. There was a phone line down there! They cops may not have been smart enough to leave someone posted, but unless these were rich and powerful people who are able to erase their tracks, the French authorities should be able to work with France Telecom to find out more. I hope they keep us posted.. this is like a mystery movie.

An underground cinema was discovered(translate using google}

Paris police find clandestine underground cinema

This urban explorer and photographer seems to be one of the cataphiles, and has taken photos all over the catacombs and other places in France. He has a cool blog site too, but I lost the link.
