Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas has sold to Sony Pictures Entertainment but will continue to operate its theaters under the brand name

I really hope this is a good thing. I don’t want to see theaters die, but I really hope Sony doesn’t interfere with the things that make Alamo Drafthouse great… I really hope they can rectify the closure of all the DFW locations as well.

    Having lived in Austin and seen movies at the original handful of Drafthouse theaters for decades now, every time the brand has expanded, quality has dropped. I’m not expecting this change to be any different.

      Being from San Antonio and watching the expansion, I’m afraid Drafthouse has made me agree with someone from Austin.

      Your breakfast taco game is still weak, though. Just like our weak-ass barbecue.

          Fucking Babe’s bottomless menu! And… Ummm… Texas Instruments? Oh! And day-drunk facelift moms who married secretly abusive men! Y’all need better therapists and support groups.

          As for Indian food: Houston edges y’all out.

          Our suburbs are the most suburban.

          We do have better Indian and Ethiopian food for what that’s worth.
