Angelika closed as of when? Still looks open to me and Fandango is selling tickets.

Haha. I'm not kidding, though. That's the most unpleasant part about going to the movies now. I mean, really. "In my day" the movie theater was a family outting, not a place where you drop off your 11-17 year old and leave them for the next 6 hours to be babysat by 16 year old counter staff and 23 year old managers. I used to try to go to the midnight showings when they had them, because the crowds were smaller. I hate that I have to pick unpopular movies just so I can watch them without incessant giggling and kids sneaking in after the movie starts.

Really, for $9 ticket price + $15 refreshments, I figure I should be able to enjoy it.... so I'd pay a couple bucks more to not allow minors in the building. I'm not joking. Someone should do this.

I used to find that the Angelika was a mostly adults theater and it fit the bill, because it wasn't a convenient parent drop-off point. I haven't been there in a while, because frankly, the drive downtown is too much for me these days. I'm in my mid 30's now and I just don't enjoy the "night on the town" as a regular event anymore. If I want to go to the movies, I go there... watch a movie and go home... at a decent hour usually. Old man, yeah, I know.

I think their might be some confusion over this theater. The Angelika the poster ws referring to is downtown. I am not sure about the closed depressing one. Maybe that one is somewhere else.

Sorry about the misinfo - one of my co-workers who lives in midtown just mentioned last week that he was disappointed that it had closed down............he lives so close and is always about town, you'd figure he'd know. Maybe he tried to go during Ike

the greenway plaza theater is the one that closed. they couldn't compete with the mega edwards theater down the street. i was very sad when it closed but i still have the river oaks theater and the angelika theater downtown to go to.

i'm talking about the one downtown near the bayou. its not very appealing to watch movies there, not enough patrons, no big posters, lousy concession stand, and whats up with the ticket booth (nice people tho). the carpet and walls look real dirty too, probably designed to look like that. all of that takes a whole chunk from the movie experience IMO
