The Egyptian is a neat space, but it always seemed like it was held together with spit and duct tape. The seats were uncomfortable and the sound was terrible. It needed a pretty massive cash infusion to bring the place up to being just on-par with other venues in town.
Capitol Hill can certainly support a first-run theater, but if one were to be designed today, I really don’t think it would look like a single-screen 550+ seat auditorium.

I have to grudgingly agree. Saw lots of terrific movies there dating back 40 years, but I usually came out with a crink in my neck.
Ah man, I kinda loved how weird it was. Also it was so close to my house haha
