| - Definitely "A-OK" by me for frequently snagging good "art-house" titles and therefore saving me from having to go to AARP-laden Camelview. (Oh, let me count the movies that have showed here and NOT Camelview...you'd be surprised...thank you, UltraStar Cinemas, thank you for that-!)
What I don't like is having to literally *choose* my seat when I purchase my ticket. It's assigned seating. Not a big deal when it's an early matinee on a less-crowded movie. But it's a huge inconvenience when it's a crowded theater and someone walks up to your seat, or you have to walk up to someone - and, despite what the theater tells you, it's not that easy to find your assigned seat once the movie starts. I don't want to have to pick my seat for a two-hour movie - that's ridiculous. If it's one of those simulcasts for opera or a football game, that's one thing - but for a two-hour movie? Arrrgggh... decisions, decisions. (And, no, the "S" in the seat name doesn't mean "starclass.")
I'm pretty ambivalent regarding having a beer with a flick, though I appreciate the theater's roundabout way of essentially "enforcing" R-rated movies by having some of the theaters be 21+. Because if there's anything that ruins a good movie more than geezers who can't read subtitles, it's little kids screaming and yelling. On that basis alone, I'm tempted to bump the grade up one star by being a "child-free" theater.
I didn't give them a higher grade because the theater staff really "oversells" the "starclass" thing when those shows typically are evening show times only. It doesn't do me any good if I'm there at 3:00pm and I can't get full service until 4:00 or 5:00. Either have it all day, all shows, or not at all, otherwise it's really misleading people.
A-OK, with potential for Woo-hoo!
