Why is this place still open?
May 4, 2008I have a feeling you and me think the same thing.
Whenever the urge to go see a movie arises, I hope and pray the movie is at the Cinemark theatre and not at Sikes.
Sometimes, my wife and I get lucky. And sometimes we have to trudge off to Sikes, hoping that the air conditioning is working and that our feet do not permanently become stuck to the floors.
Well, today we saw Iron Man, and of course, it was at Sikes (How are they allowed to get the good movies? They should be sentenced to only show lousy romantic comedies and corny teenage flicks).
We wanted to see the 1 p.m. showing, so we get there at about 12:10 to get tickets. But wait. The ticket box office does not actually start selling tickets until 20 minutes later.
WHY! All that does is back up the line for the rest of the day. And we were going to grab a quick snack, but that went out the window.
Cinemark is cheaper, nicer, bigger and more comfortable. Mall theatres are a thing of the 1980s. Sikes sometimes looks like it is ready to fall apart at the seams, but yet it remains in business.
And yet, they seem to get at least half the good movies out there. It drives me crazy.
