[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is going in circles but I would say I don’t like MoCo liquor laws but they aren’t that big a deal— for a party I’ll shop at total wine but otherwise I’ll stop by our small shop.

For a movie, AMC Regal in Silver Spring is nice with convenient parking.

I don’t I’ve been to Tysons in 20 years and I have zero desire to get on the beltway on a weekend to shop.

If you think the Regal (AMC is a different chain) in Silver Spring is nice I don’t know what to tell you except that you probably should get out more. That is one of the worst theaters I’ve ever been to in my life. Dirty, depressing, and police robots have been proposed for the nearby parking lots because of crime.

Bragging about not being to a neighboring state for 20 years and being stuck in a bubble is not a good thing either. I live in VA and go to Silver Spring and Bethesda at least a dozen times a year. It’s healthy to get outside your bubble. [/quote]

How could it be one of the worst theatres you have been to in your life?  I was just there...it's a movie theatre...it has the fully reclining seats (probably fairly common many places these days)...screen quality was fine...sound system worked well...wasn't dirty at all.  What else are we missing from a movie theatre?

This whole thread is bizarre because someone is bragging about how they drive 20 miles to VA all the time to do their weekly chores.  Nobody would have a problem if OP said they like going to Shenandoah vs. say MD State Parks, or they prefer Alexandria to Bethesda.

Have you been to any of these theatres: ArcLight Mosaic, CMX Cinebistro, Look at the Boro, any Alamo theater, or even AFI Silver? I’m asking because if you’ve been to any of these and still think the Regal in Silver Spring is a good theater we just have a different definition of a good theater. I’m sure some people think a Cracker Barrel in Woodbridge is the best restaurant of all time too. Taste is surely subjective. [/quote]

Alamo theaters?  Those are nearly all terrible…at least the ones I went to.  The whole dinner with the movie just doesn’t work and the theatres themselves weren’t great.

This is another bizarre post.  I think historic theatres like the Avalon are cool…but they aren’t great viewing experiences.  Nearly all movie theatres…are essentially the same except when you go to ones that haven’t been renovated in the last 20 years and have uncomfortable seats and sometimes aren’t stadium style.  This isn’t live theatre where the acoustics or lines of sight may matter.

Your example is terrible. A better example is you may think the Cracker Barrel in Loudon is better than the Cracker Barrel in Fairfax…but guess what, they are both just Cracker Barrel’s.[/quote]
