dml423 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) Went by to grab some coffee and found out they close their coffee shop at 4pm. I got there at 410. Sad day. I was however able to snap a few pictures of the area. 2 Pictures of from Equinox (one outside and one of the lobby. Others are of the complex. Edit: Obviously a noob at posting pictures. Is there a way to change the angle of the pictures? I downloaded them to google pictures but the site wouldn't let me post those pictures.

imagoman Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Re: "The Coffee Shop" This is a temporary coffee bar, opened the 1st week of November, tucked beneath the escalator to the Garage next to Hermes. A full list of coffees of all kinds, I was told by the barrista (nice youngster who came from The Nook at UH), that coffees are free to visitors for 2 months (ie, through the holidays) courtesy of Oliver McMillan. The little space will then become headquarters for the valet parking personnel. Blue Planet appeared hours or days from opening, and also the first restaurant is also getting very close (the Viet-French one beneath Equinox near the front. I was told by a rep that most of the very high end restaurants will have Westheimer frontage, while the more reasonable will be along Bettis and nearer to the iPic. The garage entrance off Westheimer now has a 'scoreboard' type thing to give visitors a heads up as to which floors have open parking spaces. And landscaping along Bettis is moving slowly toward completion. Wow! ROD is amazing! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bedmondson Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 iPic is suing AMC and Regal. Looks like iPic was surprised with some provisions that the large chains had with some movie studios that prevent one theater from playing the same movie at the same time in the Houston market. Anyone notice if iPic has been missing any major movies? http://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/retail/article/Boutique-cinema-chain-takes-on-major-competitors-6639599.php?t=dc5dc8406e438d9cbb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I have noticed that Sundance seems to miss a lot of movies - not as large of a selection. Granted it is also a smaller theater so that might have more to do with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skwatra Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I have definitely noticed it with iPic but I assumed it was because they were starting slow. For mock they were playing classics, then first week of charity donation opening they were playing the hits from the last year, leading up to the big opening of Spectre. For Sundance, I thought they had a variety of mainstream large distribution movies and independent ones as well. Now I'm wondering the same, were they forced in to this? There are no major AMCs or Regals really close by but you never know. Also they have been bought out by Carmike so that may chance their approach as well. Will be interesting to see what comes out of this, from based on what limited information we have I'm rooting for iPic! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triton Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Apparently iPic will have Star Wars and Mockingjay and Edwards Greenway will not...that doesnt seem like a smart move Regal... There's something really wrong with Edwards Greenway recently... anyone know? It didn't even have Spectre. Ended up going to Cinemark at Memorial City instead.

BigFootsSocks Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 That's really surprising considering that Edwards is a really nice theater, as are the other Regal cinemas. I think I vaguely remember something going on with Regal and distributors a few months back, but I can't find anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
