| - These days we only seem to see shows "out" when we get tickets to a preview screening (thanks, Nicole!), and the visit to this theater is no exception. The only downside is that you need to get there earlier than you might if you actually pay for your ticket. Arriving an hour or so early is not a horrible price to pay unless the movie is bad, and usually if they are showing a pre-screening, the movie is decent.
In this case, there was a family who arrived a whopping four hours early. That was not us.
Also of interest is that this theater turned on the lights. Probably not a good idea, because as Nilay mentioned, it is old. Now most theaters are probably a bit worn, but since the house lights are dim, you really do not notice it. In this case, you could see that the seats are really nasty. So much so that several people actually asked for some way to cover the seats so that their precious jeans (really) did not touch the seat covers.
All-in-all, the movie-going experience was just fine. But think of it where you are on a date and would have not had a chance to take a few drinks, so you do not want to get a good look across the table. The answer? Turn down the lights.
