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.

ps: not that I actually drink, of course :)
