#1: I love Speakeasy! Couches, beer and decent food.
The few times I've been there the audience was great. People tend to actually want to enjoy the movie experience.
My beef with the larger theater chains is that they seem to attract people that just want something to do. I don't know if they just don't understand what they're seeing on screen or if people have just lost all concept of the people around them.
If I were to pay $35 for a movie experience, it better be amazing. Meaning no stray noises (wrappers, loud chewing, talking etc.) and an audience that's truly interested in getting sucked in to the movie.
Nothing beats the experience of seeing a movie with a group of people that all "get it" and collectively laugh/cry/scream.
