Well, since this theater has been closed over three years, and was torn down, I don’t think that it is still one of the most dangerous theaters to go to.
I don’t think there were several shootings in the 1990s, just one highly publicized fracas during Godfather III.
And this was one of my local theaters, and I never felt in any particular danger or undue concern.
I’m heading up to the drive-in next week, does anyone know if the digital bulb is still as bright and clear as it should be? If they haven’t changed it since 2014 (as has happened at many locations, both hardtop and drive-ins) I will be disappointed…
I drove 100 miles to see the Fathom Event ballet Coppelia on Sunday, June 10, and after settling in with our popcorn and soda, an usher came in your say that the show was canceled due to technical difficulties.
We all received a refund, including our concession purchases, and free passes, but what a disappointment.
I’m sorry to report that despite the somewhat recent installation of digital projectors, the image on Screen One the other night (Ocean’s 8) was very dark and detracted from my enjoyment of the picture.
On the plus side, the food at the Burger Barn concession stand was tasty and the 20 minute intermission show of old drive-in snack bar promos was very entertaining.
I added two photos I took today.
Al, please post that Mad article, it would fit perfectly here.
I was being sarcastic…
Yeah, and a few pictures played there between its burlesque days and legit incarnations.

Success on the Main Stem doesn’t always equal boffo b.o. in the nabes.

That Strange Inheritance show was on again, and it was chock-full of info about this theater.
The sketchy introduction on this page needs to be rewritten with some facts and respect.
Great article— now THAT’S entertainment…!
These movies came out in 1974; even the second-run Larkfield got them prior to 1976…!
I wonder if it meets the building code.
Any opening day reports?
Why don’t you reformat that and post it again. Thanks
I saw a movie here this week – – top-notch image and sound. Well done.
I went to several movies here this week and nearly all of them had bright clear images and excellent sound.
Like many, many AMC locations, the Fathom Event screening of Mel Brooks' The Producers was way too dark.

How were the Tonys?
I don’t think Tony tickets are actually offered for sale to the general public, but I could be wrong…
Ah, the ‘70s….
The only unanswered question is whether we should smoke a little something before seeing the movie.
I can’t imagine the screen at the Alamo Drafthouse is all that big.
Odd that the Argyle Theater website has no photos of the theater.
I wish I had snagged some of the photos off that blog before it went defunct.
