For the last 6 months or so, whenever I wanted to see a big movie release, I got some sort of flak from Mcpheezy about me wanting to see the movie at the Arclight Theaters. For those of you who don’t live in Los Angeles, the Arclight was designed as “…a complete movie going experience.” With perks such large, comfortable seats, reserved seating, decent food, and digital projectors. Throw in a membership option and special, members-only events (sometimes including guest speakers), and it sounds like exactly the kind of place a Republican elitist would love, but it seemed McPheezy wasn’t feeling it.
In reality, the Arclight ended up being more like the Cheesecake Factory of movie theaters - neither is as exclusive as they make themselves out to be. Sure, the Arclight is more expensive, but (much like the Cheesecake Factory) the cost isn’t prohibitive and (again, like the Cheesecake Factory) it’s generally worth the price increase to an average joe. For 7 years it’s been the top of the theatre food-chain and I’ve been more than satisfied. Enter Muvico.
