I almost always see movies at Harkins downtown, but due to time constraints and the desire to see Star Trek, I caught the movie with my wife and father-in-law this week at AMC Quail.
Let me start off by saying it's been a while. I'm not a mall guy, so the idea of walking through Quail Springs to see a movie is not very appealing to me. And this may be a shocker to suburbanites, but it's easier to find close parking at Harkins in Bricktown than at Quail Springs.
Since were were running late and hadn't had lunch, we figured we would grab hot dogs at the theater. Mistake. Big mistake. The guy at the snack counter was no ordinary teen working for the summer, oh no. Instead, we got stuck with a guy in his late-20s or even early-30s who made me fondly recall the last time I had to go car shopping. We were totally unprepared for this confusing, high-pressure con job that resulted in the three of us spending $40 for drinks larger than we wanted and food that tasted terrible and made us sick later.
And the theater? Shabby compared to Harkins.
That's my last visit to AMC.
