The theatres there seem to be getting grimier and grimer as time goes on. As if no one ever hired a cleaning crew. The nice thing about the Rio is the man- made pond and fountain thing right outside. With a panoramic view of ... exciting I-270. Too many yuppies (read: expensive shiny sports cars in parking lot)tastemy TASTe, however. I personally would recommend the Bethesda Cinema & Drafthouse, except that I'm not 21 yet, so all the wonderful stories I've heard about it are still just that for me-stories. It'd be nice to be able to just sit back and have a brew and Lethal Weapon. I don't think it would be real good for tear-jerkers. This is more of "social gathering place" than a place for film-fanatics, btw. mike ps: not that I actually drink, of course :) -- Michael Chang inet: nulspace@cs.umd.edu Department of Computer Science (EE Goofball) uucp: uunet!mimsy!nulspace University of Maryland, College Pk
