| - I pride myself in being a resourceful person, so I usually try to milk situations for all that they're worth. I am not a user, but I am a maximizer. Even tho the complaints about this huge movie theater might be true - it's probably crowded and loud during weekends - to maximize the experience you have to be resourceful with what it offers.
As a New Yorker (and I'm sure my NYC friends who read this review will appreciate this), I spend WAY too much money on a movie theater ticket. At the older theaters, I drop $10.50 per movie, at nicer theaters I might drop $12 per movie. This is all the time. NYC hasn't seen the days of the matinee-priced ticket for many years now. All shows are the same freaking price, except if you watch an 8am showing at some ghetto theater or something ridiculous like that. So, you would imagine the jealousy of my NYC friends when I tell them about this wonderful Waterfront theater in Pittsburgh, the city where I spend my Mondays-Thursdays...
EVERY SHOW, ANY SHOW, ANY TIME Mondays to Thursdays is an AMAZING $5 per ticket. Yes, that's 5-buckaroos. INSANE. OFF THE HOOK. no kidding. Unlike the Southside there is ample free parking as well. And, it's never crowded on a weeknight. I went tonight and there was maybe 8 people in my theater. (I watched Zack and Miri, it was good)
So, that's all it takes for me. I come here after work, by myself, with others, to watch good movies, bad movies, stupid movies, who cares. It's $5. I'll watch anything for $5.
