I would give a non-vital organ of my body in exchange for having Alamo Drafthouse up here. I have been to several while doing consulting in other parts of the country, and I like the concept. There are a very few local theaters doing the same concept, but not as well as Alamo, and the nearest such theater is 35 miles from me.
I've been twice now and I don't think I'll go to a regular movie theater again. Between streaming services and my huge DVD collection, the idea of going out to see a movie at a regular theater just to see if first thing is ridiculous. I'd just rather wait at be able to watch it at home where I can kick back, eat whatever and not pay a fortune. The Alamo actually provides an experience you don't get at home and it's worth the price tag. I lounged back in a recliner, had an Irish Coffee milkshake, fish and chips and fried pickles all delivered to me by silent wait staff.
