It would be interesting to find out though why some of the really draw worthy movies for Villagers wind up at the Rialto rather than at the Old Mill Playhouse.
Please understand that I am not trying to be tacky, but my question on this would be: Why should the "really draw worthy movies for Villagers" all go to the Old Mill Playhouse? Some of the people I know here have only their carts for transportation or don't drive a car at night and for them, the distance would be prohibitive. The same holds true for some closer to Old Mill.

Seems that the current practice favors neither theater and for that reason seems fair to all. Hopefully, the practice will continue when Brownwood is built (assuming there will be an offering there).

Maybe a better alternative would be to offer the really high draw movies at both venues simultaneously (hope I spelled that right...duh).
