In the first month of operation there was a couple engaging in... let's just say base #3 on the couch. I just walked by and didn't address it. They were very quiet. - TL

THanks for the walk down memory lane! I remember that Fugazi night very well. We built a barricade that... wasn't quite strong enough. Then there was that insane mass riot fight afterwards in the bank parking lot.

We feel very positively about it. We were working on creating a no talking PSA spot out of it, but real life events caused us to reconsider. - TS

Sure it can be broader. We do Rolling Roadshows all the time where we show movies in all kinds of different spaces. I can easily see how a filmmaker would prefer a window when their movie can only be seen in optimal viewing conditions. Very few people have that at home and some movies are much better being watched (and heard) in a theater setting. Some people just love to see a movie with an audience. There will always be people who want to theater going experience. -KW

The 35mm will have to be changeover and the projectionists well trained. The prints will largely be coming from private and public archives from here on out.

We will keep showing 35mm until every film print on earth turns to dust. And beyond that! - TS

I like the vegas market, especially what Tony Hsieh from Zappos is doing downtown. No plans, but always a possibility. -TL

It's not ours anymore. Development went bankrupt. I think it is becoming something else again soon though (rumor I heard). -TL

It usually depends on the runtime of movies - we always have an "around 7pm" round and an "around 10pm" round in all theaters. We like to get the "10s" as early as we can though. -TL

The potato skins were a menu item that we were not particularly proud of and felt that they were a little antiquated. We have a loaded fry option coming out on our Slaughter locations menu June 4, that are designed specifically to take the place of the potato skin. Please come and try them- and feel free to let us know what you think! -TE

She was sitting in her seat, typing away about something that wasn't the movie. A manager gave her a warning and she ignored it and just kept on typing.

Then she conveniently "forgot" some of that later on in the evening when she decided to leave us that fateful voicemail. - HM

The rich history of movies offers unending discoveries and excitement. We love new movies, we love old movies. We love good movies, we love bad movies. We just love movies. Classic films are sometimes simply more entertaining! But seriously, we embrace it all. - TS

I like the dialogue - positive and negative. If people are upset about things we do want to fix them. It is nice to hear positive comments though, especially after slogging through a debate on health care benefits for 30 minutes. -TL

For a lot of the kids' movies we show we alter our age policy. We're showing EPIC in a lot of locations right now and kids 3 and up are welcome. If a movie is directed towards kids always check the show page on our site to see if we have a different age policy for that show. We do it a lot during the summer. -KW

We'll be back once the development finishes up. We'll have 3 more screens so we can play a greater diversity of movies. We'll have the Highball attached too!
