apparently the Video Free Brooklyn store *will* be reopening as was promised, oh, 18 months ago
Update time! We're very sorry for the long delay in re-opening @vfbrooklyn at the Alamo Drafthouse. We intended to be open much sooner, but the initial plan for the store design ran into some serious design and logistical snags. We needed to rethink, redesign and start over.— Alamo Drafthouse NYC (@AlamoNYC) May 4, 2018

if anybody hasn't been to the reopened film forum yet, i give it a tentative thumbs up. those new seats are massively more comfortable, maybe the most comfortable i've ever encountered. but, surely there are fewer seats in the room? which would bode poorly for things selling out. :-/

i was in 3 last night for "grisbi" and i could swear it was fewer seats - i mean the new ones are wider and the room is the same size so surely....? but maybe!

As there was no soundtrack/score on the print, FSLC ran last night's 7pm Dulac silent feature in total silence. Terrible idea. Put on a record to drown out the patrons' yawns and gurgling stomachs.

yeah wow that was great! thanks for the recommendations, y'all, they helped push us over the top and we had a ball.the theater (one floor up, in columbia's new, quasi-dystopian manhattanville campus) is a nice room too, more of a wide black box theater than just a dinky little screening room. screen felt big, could really dive into the colors. sound was kind of painfully loud a few times, not sure if that was specific to the film, the settings in the control room, or the acoustics. but i'd def see a movie there again.
