I just got back from the 1245 showing of "Leathernecks" at the new Warren Theater in Moore.

It was everything that it has been billed up to be. The decorations are spectacular, the seats are amazingly comfortable and the audio and video are second to none.

The problem is that we had to stand in line to get tickets. Not really a problem I suppose, as I could've easily bought them online, but there was only one outside sales window and two inside. There were just as many people inside as there were out.

A lot of people had pre-purchased tickets online, but the catch is that you still have to stand in line to get your tickets. So be sure to get there at least 30-45 minutes before your moving starts to allow for long lines.

Also, it appears that Warren will have at least one touch-screen terminal (I didn't really look for any others) so that people can either purchase or pick up tickets quickly. Unfortunately, the one terminal that I found was not online.

The bright spot of the entire day is that while we were waiting outside in line, a manager came out and asked if anyone was waiting to see the 1245 showing of Leathernecks. My friend and I answered yes and we, along with several others, were promptly escorted directly to the theater, without having to make any ticket purchases.

As for the refreshments, typical movie style refreshments and the pricing that comes along with it. We got a medium sized tub o popcorn (btw, there's a HUGE difference between small and medium) and a medium drink. PLus, $0.50 EXTRA for the REAL butter. To me, the butter was not worth it. Gimme the other stuff any day. The medium popcorn, with real butter, and medium drink came to a $10.00, which again is ridiculous, but nothing you won't find at any other theater. Thankfully, that's all I spent today, thanks to the manager.

I will definitely be going back so that I can experience the diner and balcony/lounge areas. I just might wait a few weeks before doing so.

And finally, the movie was funny. Gave a little perspective on professional football in the 20's, but I would not call this a "sports" movie. Clooney and Zellwegger were ok. Overall, I was entertained.
