Pssst! Colorado... The Alamo Drafthouse is setting up shop there!
Published at: Sep 19, 2011

Hey folks, Harry here... There's something going on with the Alamo Drafthouse that's quite exciting for film fans that are wanting a superior film-going experience. Something where ******** can get kicked out for, being the ******** they are. Where you can watch a movie with the best projection and sound, while a beer is served to your seat. Or a bucket of beers. Or two fluted glasses and some fine wine. Where the movie pre-show is themed to the subject matter that's to follow. Where a movie geek, can just be. Well, today they announced that they're opening a 7 screen theather there... Here's the press release:

Austin, TX--- September 19, 2011--- Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas is pleased to announce its plans for the first Alamo Drafthouse location in the Colorado market. Alamo Aspen Grove will be located in the Aspen Grove Shopping Center in Littleton, Colorado and is slated to open in late 2012.

“We’re very excited to expand the Alamo Drafthouse to moviegoers in Colorado. We’ve found an area for a natural extension ofour concept, which began in Austin, to a like-minded audience of serious movie and beer lovers,” said Alamo Drafthouse CEO/Founder Tim League.

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema combines dinner, drinks, films and events, all under one roof. The theaters have been heralded for their unique programming events and high exhibition standards,earning accolades like “Best Theater Ever” (Time Magazine) and “the coolest theater in the world” (Wired).

Instead of a barrage of advertising, a pre-show of rare (and often hilarious) clips are shown that change on a regular basis, often tailored specifically to the feature film.“We're proud of the fact that we don't show any advertising,” Tim League said. Additionally, the Alamo Drafthouse protects the theater experience with a zero tolerance policy forpeople who disrupt the film with talking or texting.

(I'm a little excited!) :biggrin:

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

I can't decide if I would want to watch a movie in that setting, but I do like having a beer or a glass of wine with my movie like Landmark does.

Alamo Drafthouse is one of two movie theater franchises I could find. While this setting may be fun to try out occasionally, I wouldn't think it would be one that enough people would want to be in all of the time to see a movie for it to be successful up the 285 Corridor. I'm wondering where at Aspen Grove they're planning to put it. There are a few empty spaces there that could house it.
