does Raleigh not have any movie theaters that serve beer yet?

6/3/2013 12:56:51 AM

i don't care about the beer

i care about the ban on children, unaccompanied minors, and cell phones

6/3/2013 1:01:20 AM

^^ as far back as I can remember, there have always been theaters that sell beer here

6/3/2013 1:07:44 AM

Competition is great...for awhile the only big theaters in this area were Regal...now Southpoint is an AMC and the Stone theater in Morrisville is fantastic ($5 all movies on Tuesdays)...will be nice to see some of that competition actually in Raleigh too.

6/3/2013 1:09:45 AM

Opens at the end of summer supposedly

Does texting really bother people that much? I understand if you're doing it the entire movie with the sound on and everything, but I don't feel like I need to apologize for banging out a quick message or two if I'm not making any noise.

Smartphone screens are pretty distracting if someone is sitting in front of you with one in a dark theater.

What ^ said. The screens are pretty goddamn distracting. On top of that, can you really not go an hour and forty minutes without texting?

6/3/2013 8:15:16 AM

6/3/2013 8:55:36 AM

yes, bright cell phone screens really are that distracting. you're a jerk for busting out a few quick text messages. you're not that important, those messages can wait a couple hours.

6/3/2013 8:56:18 AM

if you can't afford not checking your phone for a movie's length of time, shouldn't you be doing something more important?

Unless you're a highschool girl, you should be ashamed of yourself

6/3/2013 9:10:45 AM

what I find ironic is that you are all typing on the internet to complain about texters, and you are all probably in movies right now as we "speak
"

Hello pot, I am a black kettle

6/3/2013 9:18:00 AM

movie doesn't start until 9:25am

6/3/2013 9:19:47 AM

If you get mad about being in public maybe you shouldn't go to the movies.

I'm Krallum and I approved this message.

Is this the one that is going to be in the vacant 2 story building across from Sullivan's

6/3/2013 9:56:07 AM

Alamo's are sweet. Fortunately, I got the chance to go to one of the originals before they blew up nationally. One of the perks of living in Austin/

The Colony Theatre, Misson Valley Cinemas, and Six Forks Cinemas all sell beer. I'm fairly certain that the Raleighwood does as well.

So, what is the Alamo Drafthouse and why are we excited? I love Austin, but I looked it up, I don't get the thrill. Also, TWW is the only evidence of one coming

they also show some arthouse and indie nonsense that no one cares about, occasionally

6/3/2013 11:14:54 AM

Top Google search result for Alamo Drafthouse Raleigh is this thread.

You'll see this with the Smithfield's on Western and Cadbury egg Cook Out shakes.

6/3/2013 11:43:29 AM

cadbury shakes are delicious.

6/3/2013 11:53:33 AM

They typically have about a 30 min movie clip that parodies the main feature before each show. these are very entertaining when you are just sitting down, drinking beer and waiting for the movie to start.

6/3/2013 11:57:38 AM

well i like animated candy bars telling me to turn off my cellphone, not 30 minute movie parodies.

6/3/2013 11:58:25 AM

^ you will enjoy them. It is a bunch of old classic shit that is funny and as a side benefit, I always come away with some cinema knowledge.

6/3/2013 12:01:59 PM

Alamo Drafthouse is terrible. Cellphone screens are too bright, but everyone is gung-ho about a theater where they leave the lights on so people can eat.

It's for people who want to go to a mediocre restaurant that shows a movie, not people who actually want to go see a movie.

any company/establishment that forbids kids under 6 and unaccompanied minors immediately peaks my interest and has a greatly increased chance of getting much $$ from me

[Edited on June 3, 2013 at 12:15 PM. Reason : grammar]

6/3/2013 12:15:21 PM

I haven't had much trouble with kids at movies, but I guess I don't go to movies that kids would be interested in. I can see how they would be a problem at like Iron Man 3 or whatever.

6/3/2013 12:17:47 PM

i've encountered many a parent bringing an infant to a horror film

6/3/2013 12:20:18 PM

Wait, is Alamo Drafthouse really coming?

this would make me so happy...first, a Dave & Buster's is opening in Cary and now an Alamo Drafthouse

One of my friends wanted to open an Alamo Drafthouse franchise in the Boylan Pearce building.

But the building got sold in December.

who over age 12 would get excited about a Dave and Buster's?

I hope they have stadium seating

6/3/2013 1:56:02 PM

so what i have gathered is alamo drafthouse may or may not be coming to raleigh and people may or may not be excited about that

6/3/2013 2:02:51 PM

semi-related: the only time i ever had a movie attendant person thingy come talk to me was the time i was looking up stuff on wikipedia when i went to a movie with my mom. it was during the day and we were the only ones in there except an elderly couple sitting at the very front. whatevs

so this place sounds kinda neat. do they get the current movies or play them after a few months time or what?
