Why can't we just blow up this place and get a new state of the art movie theatre????

Yesterday myself and some friends went there and I don't really know why and after about 20 minutes into the movie the sound starting screwing up and the picture starting flashing....After the employess of the theatre walked in about 50 times and stared at the screen thinking it was gonna fix itself it finally starting working again...Then it screwed up some more...So as people started getting mad and walking out it finally got straight...You would think we would have atleast got our money back..But since theres never really alot of people there anyways I guess they needed the money more than us...I would have left but my feet were so stuck to the floor I didnt think I was ever gonna get up...Oh and another thing do not get up and leave because they only had about 10 seats in the theatre anyways because all the rest were broken and had sheets over top of them...What a dump!!!!!

I just don't understand all the people in St. Mary's County and all the people from the base why we can't get a decent movie theatre...Everybody else has stadium seating and reclining chairs and stuff..I guess because all people know how to do is stab and shoot people....and when they are not doing that they are just tearing stuff up....That is all......

Ok the last statement you made was rather outrageous, and I have no idea what any of that has to do with the what I call "Rick Rock" theater. The place is a shanty..and its a terrible excuse for a movie theater. i hear the one on base is worse. It is sad, it is not well kept....doesn't seem like any renovations have been done to it since it first opened. But, I hate to travel to waldorf...which isn't a whole hell of a lot better. Nothing about this place is conveinence at all. And the things that are of somewhat conveinence are absolute crap. Movie theater, bowling alley, sad excuses for clubs/bars. I give it a two thumbs down!! :boo: :boo:

The problem with anything like that is clientele. If you build something nice shiatbags will tear it up in no time. The only way to keep the shiatbags out is to jack the prices up so they cannot afford it and then the wealthy shiatbags will still tear it up.

Stay at home and buy a big screen HDTV because people suck. :yay:

The base theater is actually in pretty good shape. This past year they put some money into it and tore out the old crappy seats and put in new ones. Other upgrades were done too. Is it state of the art stadium seating?...Nope, but that theater is used for a lot more than just inexpensive movies on the weekends so they had to consider the seating options in view of other uses. All in all....it's not bad.

Companies do pretty good studies on profitability. It could be it was not worth the investment.

I think the problem with the theater in Lexington Park is management. Simple things like cleanliness and the general atmosphere can be fixed by the type of people that work there. If you see someone breaking somehting on purpose kick them out, if they won't leave call the police. Simple as that.

Hard to tell in a dark theater. Good help is a rare thing these days.

Il agree the theater blows, and it does suck to have to drive to waldorf which as stated isnt any better. Ive been to worse than the one in the park so it doesnt bother me as much as the people that go there do. Ive been there and some of the people as rude as they can be during the movie, and the fat ass security gaurd in the lobby doesnt do jack, ive seen him come into each theater before and just stand there while people are being jack asses. But like i said its not the theater its the people that go there.

And like mainman said if you dont like it stop going, im not going to stop going cause i dont want to drive 45 min to an hour to watch a movie. And i have a HD setup and i can usually get a movie the week it comes out in theaters but i cant always get HD.

I think they need to bring one like the one at arundel mills down here.

Rumor I heard (and please note that I say rumor, because I have absolutely no proof of the following statement's accuracy and heard it by way of word of mouth, which is almost always 100% accurate in SoMD, ya know... :sarcasm:) is that a study was done and Sony determined that it wasn't worth putting in a state-of-the-art theater here because the one we have wasn't utilized enough to make the venture profitable for Sony.

I rarely go to the theater, but recently I was in Havelock, NC on business, where I went to the local theater to see "300." The theater smelled like a cross between wet dog and cat pee, in addition to the sticky floor and broken seats. So, I guess our craptacular theater could be worse. :shrug:
