Went to see Prince of Persia today. They were running a promotion for Labor Day weekend, all movies $1.50. We went through most of the movie, then 10 minutes before the movie was over, just as it hit it's climax, the sound goes off and the lights come on. After about 2 1/2 minutes my wife goes out to politely say, WTF. They turn turn the sound back on with out rewinding the now 3-4 minutes of sound we missed. When the movie is over and we exit the theater, I find out that they were coming in to CLEAN the theater when they cut the sound. Nobody exited the theater, the movie is finally hitting it's climax and your gonna assume the movie is over and cut the sound and clean the theater? After the movie, my wife and I also needed to visit the restrooms. OMG! They were awful! The toilets in the men's room were ridiculous. The sinks were nasty. The ladies room had no soap or paper towels. After saying something to the owner about the movie and condition of the restrooms, we get "" Oh. We're sorry about that. Have a nice day."" I realize I only spent a total of $4.50 for the 3 of us to see the movie. But, I also spent $15 on concessions. And, I really would have liked to know what happened in that 3+ minutes of no sound. It also would have been nice to not feel like I needed a shower for just setting foot in the restroom.
