Sorry I've been so long, life has a habit of getting in the way, for those who have problems with red exclamations in the cinema, download the Missing nif file and extract it to your Data\Mesh\Furniture folder.
Geeze!, will it never end!
I found the same error in the Pitt version, I've uploaded a corrected .esp for this called Broadway Cinema with Pitt and Wadsworth corrected , as usual overwrite the old esp.
--------------------------------------------------------
The error with Mr Wadsworth trying to go to the movies has now been corrected in the Broadway Cinema no Pitt required, it was caused by me inadvertently making a change to a default sandbox package, just download the esp again, sorry guy's, I'd tell you it will never happen again, but that's not gonna happen lol
--------------------------------------------------------
As request by those without The Pitt installed, download No Pitt Required, you still require all the movies already uploaded but the esp in No Pitt Required is the plugin you need, all props concerning dancing slaves have been removed, the movie menu has also been ammended in this version and "Empty slot" has been replaced by "My Movie 1, My Movie 2.." and so on, I will not be creating anymore movies but those slots are open if you want to create your own, note the named movies are still named in the menu.
------------------------------------------------------------
No dancing slave girls yet! AI scripting is giving me a major headache, this update contains 2 more movies and some props which are for future modding(eg slave dancers), the movies are
1. Casey Jones, the first ever episode with a steam engine race no less!
2. Private Buckaroo, featuring the Andrew sisters and some great swing and jazz.
If you have not already done so, you will need to download "Cinema Update", then download "MoreMoviesAndUpdateEsp", it's the esp in this last one you want, let it overwrite the old one.
Please understand what it entails for me to upload these files, my max upload speed is 56KB/s, that's 56000 bytes per second, that's peak speed which is rarely ever attained, it averages out around 30000 bytes per second, and this latest upload is 227422000 bytes, if I'm lucky it will take 2 hours to upload this particular file, with this in mind I shall be considering whether I will be uploading future movies, this is not a moan, it's just information.

Killed all the raiders?, no reason to return to Broadway cinema?, well now you have a reason!.
Seward Square Broadway cinema proudly presents 5 commercials, 5 public information films and 3 features.
That's right folks!, need a break from slaughtering super mutants?, want to get away from the daily grind of deathclaws?, then get yourself over to Seward Square Broadway Cinema now for entertainment all the family can enjoy!
Ok, I hyped that up just a little bit, you do have to do a little leg work, the projector is broken and needs a replacement lamp, there are two lamps, one is hidden in the cinema with no clues but safe to search for(assuming you have killed all the raiders), the other has clues leading to it but presents some danger, the new computer terminal in the projector room has the first clue.
The PI films use a puppet to give disturbingly misleading information on what to do in the event of nuclear fallout in rural areas, ignorance is bliss.
The commercials feature some well known actors and characters, including The Munster's and the Beverly Hillbillies, the products are also well known which is why I was surprised to find these in the Public Domain.
Once you have repaired the projector, head out to the balcony seats, middle row right hand side, you will see an oil lamp marking the seat you need to use, click on the seat and you will be presented with a menu choice for features, select the one you want and away you go, 1 of 5 commercials or 1 of 5 public information films are selected randomly to show, then a presentation screen followed by the feature, the public information films and commercials are never much more than a minute long, the presentation screen is 3 seconds long, the 3 features include an episode from Dick Tracey 18 minutes long, Betty Boop Bamboo Isle 8 minutes 7 seconds, and Betty Boop Minnie the Moocher 7 minutes 46 seconds.
Now I realize that some of you might not like the idea of being stuck watching movies for a length of time, here's how you exit, first understand that your are starting a sequence of 3 bik videos, PI or AD, presentation and feature, if you want to completely exit while an AD or PI is showing then you must press Escape 3 times, during presentation screen it's 2 times, you get the picture(or not).
Let the sitting animation complete and the movies start, if things get out of sequence this is easily remedied by clicking on another activator like the seat in front of you.
NOTE: you will need a repair skill of 25 or higher, replacing a lamp is easy(note you are not given a menu option, clicking the projector while a lamp is in your inventory is automatic repair and one lamp removed from your inventory), once you have one or both spare lamps in your inventory just click on the projector to repair, you earn 5 XP for finding each of the lamps and 5 XP for projector repair, only one lamp will be used for repair, you can do whatever you like with the other, they are worth 10 caps each.
In an attempt to keep the feeling your still in the world(cinema) a snapshot was taken from the balcony, this is then turned into a movie with the ADs/PIs and features overlayed on the screen with a slight transparency to give a film effect, I've not put much emphasis on quality because of the damaged and dirty screen, I had some problems with volume overall balance, you will probably have to increase your volume for the features, while the movie you watch is a small central part of the screen the whole screen is the bik movie, I chose 1440x900 for the overall resolution, this allowed reasonable backdrop quality while keeping file size down.
The Empty slots in the menu are placeholders for future movies, I will hopefully have some more entertaining features soon, but due to obvious file size I will only be uploading one at a time, it took Radtools 6 hours just to convert Dick Tracey, so as you can imagine that takes up a lot of my computer time and I cannot do much else during the conversion.
Additions
The cinema now has another internal cell, the sewers beneath it.
In the cinema itself I've added a computer terminal in the projector room and another filing cab in the office, no other containers have been touched accept the metal box that was on the projector room table, this has now been moved to the floor next to the table.
Added the scavenger to the Raiderfriends faction after receiving reports that she was attacking the player, probably too late for some of you, sorry about that guy's I was still getting used to setting up friend and foe things.
Note: There are two pulse mines in the sewer, these detonate the instant the player enters, no damage is done to the player as they are out of range, this is my own fix for that thing they have the nerve to call a physics engine, Havok, I got sick and tired of seeing my creations spoiled by objects sitting on the surface of water like they were on dry land until they were disturb, the purpose of the pulse mines is to shake things up!, take note Beth, please switch to a real physics engine!
Changes
The only change is the projector controls, you will note that the projector beam is off, this will come back on when the projector is repaired,
All commercials, public information films and features are Public Domain and can be verified here
I have played this through several times and only noted the sitting animation bug, but this only happens if you try to get up before the movies start, see note above for remedy, but as always any other bug reports and feedback are welcome, while some serious thought and work went in to this mod, please try to remember it is just fun entertainment, but a rating for my efforts would be nice ;-)
Keep in mind, you may have already explored every inch of the cinema, but there are new additions, time to explore again.
Instructions for installation:
The folder structure for the bik movies is the default Fallout3\Data\Video, extract the 7Zip archive directly into your Fallout3 Data folder, those already using "Broadway_cinema.esp" will need to let the one in the 7Zip archive overwrite the old one
My thanks go to CGi For his inspiring idea and some technical help.

This mod opens a door in to Broadway Cinema located in Seward Square, you cannot miss it, it's got a huge vertical sign saying "Broadway Cinema"
It's kitted out with food, ammo, beds, workbench and containers.
Several raiders have occupied it to avoid the super mutants outside, there is also a scavenger in there, you can either kill and loot or leave alive for a trader on your doorstep(assuming you make the cinema a home).
All containers on the upper level are non re-spawn and player owned and should prevent the scavenger taking anything from them if you decide to keep them alive, everything else is up for grabs, the scavenger will take whatever they find hanging around on the shelves and floor.
(The scavenger was for my own personal use to stop the cinema being empty after I wiped out the raiders, the scavenger wanders everywhere within the cinema)
There is only one loading door!, woohoo!, that's the entrance in to the cinema, everything is contained within one cell and it's big, trust me, I know after having arguments with the Havok engine!
Bugs
There maybe some that I have not located, but the only outstanding one at this time is followers tend to be delayed entering the cell, I've tried different methods to speed this up without success, if anyone has any suggestion please post here, in fact any bug reports are welcome.
Performance
There are a lot of objects within this single cell, mostly ingestibles and 36 light sources, but I did not suffer any performance issues using Vista Ultimate 64bit, 2.4ghz dual core AMD, 2gig ram and Nvidia 9600GT graphics card.
Usage
Unpack, unrar the .esp file and place it in your Fallout3 Data folder, from the launcher select DATA FILES then check/tick Broadway_cinema.esp, if your using FOMM locate it in the list and check/tick it, I do not have a specific loading order, but definitely after Fallout3.esm and Anchorage.esm
Public use
Anyone is free to use this mod as part of their own mod, but please give me credit for the cinema and content.
While this is not a sophisticated mod it did take me some time to setup and it's my first on this scale, so please rate accordingly.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed putting it together (waits for hair to grow back).
We all like a little encouragement to do more, so please rate, thank you.
