Default I hate our Theaters!

We have two theaters in town, both owned by the same people, and they suck. For about the last year they only have 1 show a day - 7:00 except on Saturdays they have 3. Which really sucks for me because i have class on weekdays during that time, and i have work every weekend when the shows are on so i can never go.
I was really looking forward to seeing "23" the new Jim Carrey movie, but of course our theaters aren't playing it! They suck!
I wanted to see Borat also, but nope they didn't play that one either.
And of course they are the most expensive Theater i have ever been to. About 7.50 for a ticket, and for a large popcorn and pop its about $18.

"renting" the movies later is just so much easier and cheaper

I haven't been to a theater since the day Clerks 2 came out.

This picture is as old as it looks

Come to Teaneck. $4.00 all the time.

We might not get the first run movies, but hey, I never go out the first week to see a movie anyway. I got the best deal going. This theater is only one block from my house. The downside to this theater is that it'* a bit old (70 years). No Stadium Seating. No Big Multi Channel Sound. And the seats do not have cup holders. I tend to overlook these deficiencies. They also have 4 screens into this old building.
