i watched shanghai knights earlier this evening at pacific place downtown. the movie was funny and i liked it. the important thing here isn't how good the movie was/is, but that pacific place is a total rip-off and no one should ever see a movie there ever again. sometime recently, they changed their prices. they no longer have student discounts, or even the "rush hour from 4pm-6pm" special discounted movie ticket price. it cost $7 for a matinee...that's even more expensive than stinkin' regal cinemas. AND, they don't validate parking (well, they never have - but movie tickets used to be cheaper so it wasn't as bad paying for parking), so it cost $13 bucks total to see a matinee at pacific place...crazy, no? i too was flabbergasted by the price jump. it was a big suck. this is so why i'm all about oak tree, and it's not as ghetto as people make it sound - just smaller.
