| - When I was in Montreal last September, I wanted to see The 9th Life of Louis Drax. It was only playing at a Cineplex on Atwater in downtown Montreal. So, I drove over there.
There is a parking lot that connects you to the building. A new parking attendant basically prevented me from using my credit card and asked me to do something else. Although my French is rusty, I am still pretty good at reading signs in French. I told him that it accepts credit cards. Finally, he spoke to his colleague who indicated the same thing that I just mentioned -- credit cards are accepted. I slid my car into the machine, it came out, I retrieved it, the lane's arm went up, and I went in.
The new parking lot attendant did apologize. That was nice. Still, he took up five minutes of my time!
I parked. I realized that this Cineplex used to be the Forum. Yes, THE Forum where the Habs played for decades, along with a ton of memorable concerts. Wow!
I am glad that the original seats are still there. You can sit down, take photos next to various statues and such, and go up to the second floor to look at all the memorabilia. I loved it!
I had enough points to watch my movie for free. Yay! I also got nachos and a hot dog. I didn't have lunch, so lunch in the dark, it was!
The movie was wonderful. I liked how roomy the seats were. The picture and sound were perfect. I have no complaints.
I'd come here again to see a movie when I am in Montreal.
