Wow !! As a movie buff myself I think I'll be vising you site almost everyday now. This is what I used to do before:

  - Go to www.imdb.com
  - Click on 'See more movie showtimes' at the right.
  - On the next page, click on the 'Favorites' tab to choose a theater.
  - Go to maps.google.com and plan the route to the theater.

This is definitely going to save me at least a few hours every week while I check which movie is playing at what location.

And its got TRAILERS too !!! I'm addicted !!

Your comment makes me very happy, please enjoy!

You can also type 'movie showtimes' into google and there is a nice interface with maps which shows movies and which theatres they're playing at.

Any reason you don't host those static files on a public 'web enabled' ec2 bucket? We do that for http://www.incubatebang.com and it costs us like $1.40/year for hosting

That's a cool idea, Dropbox and S3 both seem like good ways to get started with Firebase really fast.

The AWS micro is free :) and it gives me a bit more flexibility to do things (in the future) like track outbound clicks to Fandango through a redirect that hits a real server.

I love the design of your site! Did you have it done in-house?

Yeah, I'm an owner of http://www.isotope11.com and our designer threw it together in a couple of days. He's awesome, and he's leaving shortly, and we'll miss him :(

Just out of curiosity. Are you aware that all your data is fully editable through the admin panel? Or is it just a toy project and it doesn't really matter?

yes, side project. my real focus is http://segment.io

Still though, somebody could delete all the movies and showtimes in a couple of clicks. I presume you have the JSON backed up but it's still going to get annoying if somebody decides they want to be a dick.

true [backs up data]. the system will also auto-recover by falling back to the RT/YT/YQL APIs if someone does that, though pages will load significantly slower and Rotten Tomatoes will throw a bunch of rate-limiting errors until Firebase is repopulated.

I'll be honest, it's kind of fun to go to [REDACTED URL] and delete the list of movies and watch them repopulate as people load the site...

Sorry, I'll stop.

Seriously though, this is a neat toy/prototyping platform, but they desperately need to add some security for it to be really useful.

This was also a concern after browsing trough the tutorial. how do we secure the data if it's available to everyone ;)

Just a quick thing - for places that aren't so densely populated (like Tucson) it says there's no information. It'd be nice if you would expand your search a bit outside densely populated areas.

Awesome dude. Great idea and execution for 3 hrs of work! Minor suggestions:

- Sort by (name, start time, rating, distance)

- include video playback controls, useful info such as time of preview, buffering, etc..

- X out or remove videos from my personal view, this would be KILLER to allow me to narrow down my choices as I watch videos

Your app actually reminds me of a movie version of my app. Kudos!

Might I recommend incorporating some sort of mechanism to help people figure out a movie to watch?

Hey, I like your app! I would use it again if I could expand the map to make it larger. Would be the perfect tool for finding a movie.

Really nice site! I love the UI. But please make it available for other countries too (me: Switzerland!)!

dude. your site is dope!

That's quite useful! I hope you're making money from it.

FYI, hangs on buttering popcorn in Opera.

Nice. The Hunger Games is a rickroll? Is that something you did?

Haha; see nigma's earlier comment about the open admin panel.
