Sounds interesting.
IFC, on DirecTV, I usually flip it on, it usually has something interesting, or another yawning Michael Moore do entary.
any of you familliar with alamo drafthouse in austin know how much that place kicks ass, and we finally will have one here in town.
the company bought the theaters in the westlake shopping center and will be opening this weekend. they show new movies but they also have special theme showings and show independent films as well. they server beer, wine, and food and unlike the stupid bijiou sytem, they have wait staff.
it kicks ass.

I've seen it over there and have heard you guys talking about it. I'm going to try and make it out there before I head off to SM.
now I reread the description.
So its pretty much like an expanded movie theatre,
but without the ty popcorn, the candy, and the bratty kids.
Its actually a place where adults, can watch a film, enjoy a good glass of wine, and relax.
Im jacked, Blaze, you got any info on this?
Not much more than what I've seen some people post in here.
A really good friend of mine is one of the head bartenders, and she has informed me that good chances are they WILL NOT open this weekend- the place just isn't ready.
these places are greatness, there are many of them in DFW. It should do very well.
The original location in downtown Austin rules the world of theatres. One screen. No THX/Dolby superultrawidespectral . Not very many first-run mainstream movies. Mainly great theme nights like showing Office Space, and then having a crapload of old fax machines and copiers for the audience to beat the out of after the movie.
Or finding the star of a 70's blaxploitation movie , showning the movie and bringing him in to intro the film and sign autographs.
It's also home every year to Butt Numbathon (BNAT). The ain coolnews.com non-stop film festival/marathon.
Huh? The website only lists five. 3 in Austin, 1 in Houston, and the new San Antonio location.these places are greatness, there are many of them in DFW. It should do very well.
I don't think he was referring to an Alamo Draft House per se, but rather places with the same concept.
Isn't there a place in Gruene or Wimberly that has sort of an outdoor movie theater...like a drive-in w/o cars, where you BYOB?
Someone I worked with talked about it once, but I forgot the name of it.
Sounds like my kind of place.
And TPark, if kids bother you at the movies....WTF are you doing going to see Harry Potter movies?
Screw this stuff. I have cable and a corner store.
That was a joke, sort of, but, using today as a random sample, I recorded 3 movies - The Vanishing (French sub les); Beijeng Bicycles (Chinese sub les) and ... whoops, I forgot to record Magnolia. I'll get over that. I also recorded 2 hours worth of shorts.
All of that on one channel (IFC). I have Sundance, TCM, AMC, 7 HBO channels, BBC, and a few others to choose from too.
Cool stuff.
I now return you to your original thread content.
I LOVE IFC and Sudance channels. Sadly, I have neither. I have AMC which is eh, ok, and Bravo. Thats about as good as it gets for me.
I only go to see Hermione, she is rounding out quite nicely don't you think? She puts the bra in abracadabra.WTF are you doing going to see Harry Potter movies?
ACM and TCM rock on Directv
Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, the assorted John Wayne movies, Spencer Tracy, The Thin Man, the Dr Kildare series, Katherine Hepburn.
Great great stuff on those channels. In my top 10 of movies, alot of them are from the 40's and 50's.
Lest we forget, Mister Sinus Theater. I went to see Karate Kid a few months back...haven't stopped laughing about it.
Doesn't hurt to have a bucket of COLD BEERbrought to you when you are watching a movie though.
So how much does "great theatre experience" run?
You already have to drop a bundle just to watch a movie at The Forum. Do I need to get a loan to take my woman to see a flick?
I can't wait for the new one to open. San Pedro/410.
