| - $5.00 movies on Tuesdays? Heck yes!
The staff seems pretty easy going, friendly and courteous to us. The discounted ticket prices, of course, get gobbled up when we pick up some popcorn and a drink. Yes, we could bring in outside snacks, however - if enough people do that, then all prices will rise. We bite the bullet and enjoy some theatre popcorn and soda.
We decided to, finally, go check out the new Batman over the three day weekend. We got to the last check point a little early, so we sat down and relaxed while waiting. Striking up a conversation with the younger guy working the ticket taking station, he seemed pretty wise for someone as young as he was. A patron exited a theatre to let him know the projector in their movie was frozen and had been for the last 5-10 minutes. He promptly turned around and went back into the theatre.
After the ticket taker radio'd in the issue, and someone had a chance to check the projection booth, ticket taker started getting lectured about how the movie was not frozen and he should have gotten more info, blah blah blah. I wanted to grab his radio and correct whomever was on the other end of the transmission. Ticket taker did not have a chance to do anything else, as the old guy rushed back into the theatre. Ticket taker couldn't very well leave his station and go into a theatre to inspect it.
Other than out of touch management, this is one of my favorite local theatres and will be seeing more movies here for sure!
