It's a tradition in my family that the birthday person gets to pick a movie and we all go see it. Not wanting to deal with the holiday crowds, I foolishly said \""Let's go to the theater in Gilbert! It was always really nice, and busy but not nearly as hectic.\""\n\nAnd it was. Was being the operative word. Hectic? It's a ghost town. And it's not hard to see why. The seats are torn and filthy, I literally got stuck to the floor, the popcorn was stale and inedible, and the whole place now has the pallor of a business circling the drain.\n\nDuring our delightful visit to this \""premium theater experience\"" in a \""clean, convenient and modern theater\"" (that's Hollywood Theaters' promise, anyway), I could barely suppress my urge to leave and my brother couldn't suppress the urge to give me crap about it. Speakers were blown, the picture was lousy, I felt like I needed to bathe in bleach afterward... We should have just braved the Harkins at Chandler Fashion Center.\n\nWhile I practically lived here for several years, ain't no way I'm going back after my last experience.
