What theatres do you frequent the most
With the DC area having many options on where to go to the movies, I tend to gravitate to
- AMC Mazza (walking distance of home) - The Avalon ( " " ) - Landmark E Street Virginia: - AMC Hoffman (for IMAX-Digital features) - AMC Tysons - National Amusement's Cinema De Lux Maryland: - AFI Silver - Landmark Bethesda Row ~ where do you go the movies? If you aren't in a major metropolis, how many theatres are there to choose from? How far do you have travel to said theatres? |
Re: What theatres do you frequent the most
Here in Irvine, I usually go to the Irvine Spectrum or The District in Tustin. I prefer the District since it's the newest theater, and doesn't have so many kids and teens like the Spectrum does as a big mall.

I used to prefer Irvine Spectrum for midnight showings, they usually have fun energetic crowds. Now I go to the Bridge or Arclight for midnight showing because I'm getting to old to wait for hours to get a good seat, so their assigned seating is a blessing. The bitch is being on top of it when seats become available because the good seats get taken pretty quickly.

Re: What theatres do you frequent the most
For regular stuff, I will go to the local Regal cinemas.
For IMAX, I go to the Regal in King of Prussia. For limited releases, I go to one of the Ritz theaters in Philly. My favorite theater in NYC is the BAM. |
Re: What theatres do you frequent the most
I love single screen/smaller theaters. In Des Moines I try to make Merle Hay Mall Cinema, Fleur and the Varsity my first picks.
I used to go to Cinemark for most mainstream stuff, but my girlfriend doesn't want us going there because of a Prop 8 boycott. I still have a $20 giftcard too! |

As for my theatrical options, I live in a county where we have one theater, the Great Escape Oldham 8. They opened sometime in the third quarter of 1995 (I know this because I had to go elsewhere to see Batman Forever that year, which opened 16 July). This, after countless, agonizing years of pining away for a local theater. Within three years, a competitor opened on just the other side of the county line (Tinseltown USA, a Cinemark operation). They've got nearly four times the screens, stadium seating, digital screens, etc. Naturally, in short order, the Oldham 8 was negatively impacted. It's still in service, and I frequent it whenever I can; not because it's a superior theater (it clearly isn't), but because I can't bring it in me to abandon the theater I waited 17 years of my life to have. There is also the Baxter Avenue Theaters in Louisville. They used to screen the art house films, but that's moved largely to their sister theater. We still make it out there frequently, though, because they do a midnight screening every other Saturday night of a popular cult film. Just a week ago, they showed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! |

I hadn't heard about the Prop 8/Cinemark story before you mentioned it Prop 8 opponents boycott Cinemark Cinemark CEO made donation supporting measure Updated: Thursday, 20 Nov 2008, 10:29 AM CST Published : Wednesday, 19 Nov 2008, 8:53 PM CST Shannon Wolfson AUSTIN (KXAN) - A movement to boycott Cinemark movie theatres is gaining momentum, especially in the online blogging community. Opponents of California's Proposition 8 have called for a boycott of the North Texas-based movie theatre chain after it was revealed that the company's CEO, Alan Stock, made a $9,999 donation to the "Yes on Prop 8" effort. "I think this is one way I can make my voice heard," said Austin resident Heath Riddles. "I think how I spend my money is a very impactful way." Riddles is boycotting Cinemark theaters. "I support an individual's right to donate to causes that he or she believes in 100 percent," said Riddles. "I'm totally behind that. But also as a consumer, I feel like I have a right to make a decision about where I want to spend my dollars and the businesses I want to support." Cinemark has made public statements that Stock's donation was a personal one and was not in any way made on behalf of the company. Some of those who oppose Prop 8 are also opposing the Cinemark boycott, arguing it will hurt the company's employees and not the CEO. |

Re: What theatres do you frequent the most
I'm not a big fan of the Angelika because the seating is too rectangular. I don't like being very far away from the screen. I prefer the somewhat-nearby Film Forum.
