@mattblaze@federate.social I know the chain was bought, but I'm not certain if every theater will be affected the same way? They still show cool movies, but the whole "come early for pre-show shorts, get some food, and make an evening of it" element is gone.

@annaleen@wandering.shop That's really a loss. Comfortable seats and a decent menu are still a plus, I suppose. But the last time I went (in NYC), they made going a real event.

@annaleen@wandering.shop @mattblaze@federate.social Same in Austin, pretty much. I would always try to see a movie at the Alamo before I would look anywhere else (so would lots of other people—they’d frequently be sold out when other theaters were ghost towns). I have decided to treat them as just another movie theater.
