| - I am usually an AMC person. I like the theater seating, I like pull up arm rests, I like to put my feet on the metal railings over the handicapped section. But alas, there is no AMC close enough to where we live to make movie Saturdays a regular event at their locale. So we went to see Lone Survivor at the Regal in Hudson.
We got there 40 minutes early and we were the first ones in the theater. I don't remember the number but it was the size of a medium jetliner. 4 seats on each side, center aisle. We chose aisle seats halfway back and settled in. Within 10 minutes of the movie starting, the entire small theater filled to the brink. Did Hudson decide they just suddenly all wanted to come see the movie at the last minute? Did another movie sell out? I mean, there were teenage girls in there, kids as young as 7 or 8, and large families. Lone Survivor is a war movie. And a brutal one at that. Yet suddenly, we were surrounded by fresh faces that seem to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Other than the surreal experience of the sea of young faces, we enjoyed ourselves there. The floors weren't sticky. It was clean. The seats were comfortable. The popcorn was actually very fresh! (Husband at his whole barrel of it, which he usually doesn't do.) And though the prices were the same we're used to, there wasn't any surprises and they actually gave me a free bag of popcorn because of my points on my regal card.
We'll go back. I hope the popcorn is as good the next time... ;)
