Personally, I would love to see theaters like the IFC Center scattered all over the city, starting below Canal.

It's perfect for the films they program - cult faves or the sort of thing lined up in the currently ongoing Fantastic Fest. But I don't think you'd want to watch, say, Reygadas's <i>Silent Light</i> while half the theater munches away on burgers, salads, popcorn, what have you. I'm sure it'll be a great addition to the NYC scene and I certainly wish them all the best. I love going when I'm in Austin for SXSW - but they alone can't make up for what all is missing in movie-going these days.
