Hey PoP from your description, it sounds like the West End will go into the old location for The Foundry movie theatre – which I still miss today. So excited for West End, this sounds great. I miss the time when Georgetown and Dupont had independent movie theatre….anyone grow up in DC and remember Halloween and the Rocky Horror Picture Show at the theatre where the B&N is now?

You clearly have not had to endure a midnight showing of The Room at E street.

It will show indie and foreign films — as well as some rep and, best of all, a regular schedule of midnight movies — basically fare similar to E Street or the Avalon. The owner is doing a fantastic job upgrading, remodeling the place. I think it will be a great addition to the city.

I would die for an Alamo Drafthouse in DC. Best cinemas EVER.

are we really hurting for good movie theaters in this city? Between E Street (and the Landmark affiliate in Bethesda), AFI, Avalon, and Uptown, not to mention several huge commercial theaters, seems to me like our bases are pretty well covered. Especially compared to the “good old days” of theaters like that dump in Dupont Circle with the “obstructed view” seats due to support columns in the middle of the seating area… Sometimes nostalgia is a bit irrational I think.

Is it so difficult to bring your flask with you if have to drink during a movie?
