Instead we have the multiplex… where some families arrive together but split up to see different movies. Places where roving bands of teenagers throw up gang signs as you walk by, or call each other on their cell phones while standing just feet from each other… places where there are 24 different stadium-seat theaters. At the concession stand, everything comes in two sizes…either (a) minute or ( b) gargantuan (nothing in between) and the concession pricing is obscene…purchasing snacks for just you and a date requires a second mortgage. You may as well purge the phrase “dinner and a movie” from your vocabulary- that would bankrupt just about anyone. They should institue a “recession stand” at the dream theater, were someones mother lays out toll house cookies and milk. Multi-plexes are sooooo 90’s and in my opinion are quickly losing their lustre.
