  1. I know that's where theaters make their profit but at some point you have to ask just how much of a markup is to much?
  2. We often sneak in our own snacks at movie theaters. Along with a flask. A couple shots of bourbon makes movies like Avatar even more enjoyable.
  3. We often drive to the Edwards Greenway theater because most theaters out in the suburbs are usually full of irritating teenagers that talk constantly or people that bring little babies and kids that whine throughout the movie. It's worth it even though you have to also pay for parking. I do find myself going to movies less and less but some movies just beg to be seen on a big screen.
  4. Gotta agree with dbigtex56. That building probably has more personal sentimental value to me then anyone else on this site but having worked there a few years in the late 80's/early 90's it is definitely a building that's seen it's better days.
  5. Interesting. They also cover Rice University, thus the Rice owl insignia on their trucks and uniforms.
  6. My problem with it is they don't have to pay taxes because they are a church. Even though Joel is raking it in. Yet they receive city services. That's a problem I have with most any church but especially mega churches. Sorry If I offended any one. It was not on purpose.
  7. I represent that remark! I think I saw Jesus at one of the concerts I attended. To me the Summit was one of the best concert venues in town. (Even if the bathrooms were overcrowded). I hated to see the city part with it.
  8. I thought the Godatorium already bought the Compaq Center?
  9. Kind of like eating at Applebees.
  10. Maybe they need to serve Bloody Mary's in lieu of food.
  11. I fly SW just because they fly out of Hobby. Can't stand Intercontinental.
  12. Love the old hair styles. That looked like the Village theater at 1:45 or was it the Alabama?
  13. Would you want lions and tigers roaming through your hospital?
  14. I also like getting the Knicks 1st round draft picks in 2011 and 2012. Especially if they stay crappy. And I don't see them improving with McGrady.
  15. Trades looking better and better: Chronicle
  16. I hate loosing Landry but sure glad to see McGrady gone. Martin is a good addition.
  17. I figured as much but felt like I had to explain it to everyone else. Didn't want people to think I was trying to be Mr. Know-it-all. Fire is probably the only thing I do know anything about.
  18. A civilian probably couldn't but I am a retired firefighter and when I see the big guns pulled (the master streams on the ladder trucks) I know they have pulled everyone out and gone defensive. From that moment on the structure is pretty much a future parking lot.
