CINEMARK REMINDS ME WHY I STOPPED GOING TO THE MOVIES SINCE BEFORE COVID

Well 2 weeks ago I went to the movies to learn because of technical problems the theater was closed.  Last night I tried again because the movie "Amateur" has such great hype.  On the movie it was so slow I was waiting for the actors to fall asleep while delivering their lines. So, not a good review.

BUT CINEMARK

Waiting a half hour online for popcorn and a drink is ridiculous. Given how much they charge you would think they would open all the concession stands - but no.

I got a small popcorn and drink.  I ate maybe a third of the popcorn before I could not stand it anymore.  It was stale.  I forgot Cinemark has these huge bags of prepopped popcorn.  Also, I was clear I wanted butter.  I did not get any.  I said easy ice on the soda, which to them means heavy ice.

Between grabbing a bite in the food court and the movies I dropped $50.  

So exactly why would I return to the movies when it costs $50.00 for the night out for one person?  And I did not even have a good time.  The movie could have been better than it I thought it was, but the stale popcorn, and ice filled drink ruined the night.

When I got home, I watched a Brazilian film called "Caretaker."  It was so much better than "Amateur."  The spin is well worth waiting until the end.
