The Alamo Drafthouse is the best idea anyone ever had for a movie theatre.You go in, you sit down, you order food and beverage, you watch a movie. While eating really good food and/or drinking. Kids are not allowed unless it's "family night."
And tonight they had a "quote-along" to Evil Dead 2. Much like a sing along, favorite quotes were projected at the bottom of the picture for everyone to scream along to. Props were handed out to be thrown during the film (just like Rocky Horror!). Tonight's props: red streamers (for when blood streams out of the cabin walls), plastic eyeballs (for when an eyeball flies across the screen) and those little plastic confetti poppers (for when our favorite hero, Ash, shoots one of the Evil Dead in the face).
Pretty awesome.
They also show normal movies, which means I will probably never go to
a different movie theatre again. Seriously. This is the best thing ever. Why doesn't every theatre have a full menu?
Also, apparently Bruce Campbell himself is going to be at the Alamo in October. Screening his new movie. Ummm awesome. The Chin, in person. Love it.

the only place in Seattle that I know they tried the concept was at the old Aurora Cinemas. It didn't catch on -- perhaps because they found the crappiest theatre in town. Ugly concrete box with bad layout and bad screens in the middle of parking lot with Ross Dress for Less and used car lots surrounding it. Can't imagine why it didn't work out...
I heard they used to screen films at Triple Door. Mmmmm. That would work.
