Theater Rivalry

This angers me: Holland has 2 theaters: The "Holland 7" and the "Star Holland". The Hollad 7 is older with extremely uncomfortable chairs. The service at the candy stand is slow. The video games are terrible. Most of the theaters have crappy sound systems. And its dirty. The Star is bigger, has larger screens, more comfortable seats, and while the arcade isn't much better, there is a wall of big screen TVs showing previews so you have something to do while you wait to get in to your theater. Plus they actally are modern enough to accept plastic.

Now the problem is that they divide the films. Half of the movies go to each theater and this is all apparently pre-arranged. While The Star did get Star Wars, the 7 got Austin Powers and is scheduled to get South Park. If there was an option, I would always select the better theater. I mean, its even closer.

So when good movies go to the Holland 7, I have to drive 45 miles just to see them in a good theater. I hate holland sometimes.
