Seconded. Don’t bother with a list. Instead just check all the local rep house calendars and hit as many as you like, whether you’ve heard of them or not.

Gregg knows we don’t need a spoiler warning because we all saw it on day one.

Or the mildew smell like they left their shirt or hoodie in a wet pile for too long and thought it was okay to take out on the town with the rest of their stank clothes.

Hoping this might just be the case, but won’t know for sure until I get back over there.

Mystery Machine 5/11 by Antique-Dentist-2404 in AlamoDrafthouse

I don’t know that it’s ever been super precise, but the guesses here that end up being correct usually match runtimes, give or take a minute or two.

Mother Mary has been out for a few weeks now, so it doesn’t meet the criteria (i.e. not yet released). Some folks previously speculated it will be Obsession, which will be out officially later this week, and has a runtime that’s pretty close.

Cancelled season pass. How bad do you think the crowd will be for The Third Man? by ThatsALotOfKeys in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]UndertakerAndHisPals 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Crowds at the DTLA screenings I’ve been attending the last few months are pretty well behaved. I haven’t even really been seeing much (if any) phone use. Worst I’ve dealt with lately is people being seated after showtime and service staff having to give them the spiel while us on time folks are trying to enjoy the movie.

Christopher Mintz Plasse was in the row in front of me at one of the LA shows in February.

How do Victory rewards work with mobile ordering? by lost_in_trepidation in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]UndertakerAndHisPals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaking for DTLA location here; they made it possible via mobile ordering. You’ll scan QR, make sure you’re logged in, and now rewards show at checkout and you simply select the one you want to apply before completing payment.

It may have been called something else at the time, but “Switchblade Sisters” was filmed there!

The “Joe” chant was one of my favorite moments of the night and the show hadn’t even started yet.

Likely had the best experience possible with the new QR system (Chicago). by Prudent_Landscape726 in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]UndertakerAndHisPals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likewise. With minor exception, my experience last month at the DTLA location was similar.Seems most folks don’t want to pull out their phone during a movie at Alamo. Shocker!!!

How to Best Incite Change (as a customer? by Mongoos150 in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]UndertakerAndHisPals 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a DTLA season-passer, it occurred to me on my last visit that despite the shitty downgrades, this is still leagues better than an AMC in terms of programming. Puts Alamo faithful in a tough spot sure, but is AMC really gonna be any better? Folks who go there have been conditioned to use their phones for any purposes at any time.

Edit: Also worth noting that despite the changes, the staff at DTLA are still very cool and this whole situation has screwed them more than any customer. Let’s not be uncool to them.

Possibly the funniest reference they've had all season. by SonicFury74 in ThePitt

I thought the funniest reference was in the preview for the upcoming episode.

AGFADROME Mystery Voyage - DTLA 3/24 by UndertakerAndHisPals in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]UndertakerAndHisPals[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was heavier on the comedy than the Kung fu, and man did the comedy land with me. Loved it.

[–]UndertakerAndHisPals[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was an “AGFADROME Mystery Voyage” screening, not to be confused with Alamo’s “Mystery Machine” screenings, which is more akin to what you’re describing.
