Talk:Aztec Theatres

Is it worth noting that the cinema in Springfield (as in The Simpsons) is also called the Aztec? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 89.168.96.216 (talk • contribs).

No. —Interrobang 10:38, 16 October 2011 (EDT)

Well, as long as there's an open dialogue on the matter, that's the important thing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 79.74.88.218 (talk • contribs).

Don't let Interrobang put you off! If the building in the comic was drawn to look like the cinema in the Simpsons, I think we'd be justified in calling it a reference, but they look completely different. --abates 17:40, 22 October 2011 (EDT)

Thanks abates, I just thought it was a curious coincidence considering of all the things the cinema could have been called, it happens to be the same name as the one in a very popular TV show. I understand what you're saying, though - many thanks for the response; I was somewhat non-plussed at Interrobang's rudeness... A lot of people have told me that this place tends to be cliquey with new contributors often shouted down and/or brushed off by senior members (hence why I haven't yet registered). It's good to know that's not universal.

There exist real Aztec Theaters, so that adds another layer of doubt to any possible homages. --Detour 01:47, 23 October 2011 (EDT)

Yeh, that was my other thought - whether it's as generic as the name Springfield and purposefully chosen; being British I wouldn't know. Thought it was worth asking at least :)
