When I was in high school, if we had a shortened day, I'd take the subway and LRT to Scarborough Town Centre to shop and hang out, as you would back then.
A decade ago, I worked in Scarborough. I'd often come to this mall to shop and grab lunch. These days, I rarely come here, other than to watch a movie.
I had Monday off. The movie that I wanted to see was in at 1:30 pm. I decided to give it a shot.
There was plenty of parking. I walked into the theatre, bought my ticket, bought pink cotton candy and a small drink (my first eating the pink stuff while watching a movie), and decided to hit the theatre.
I was greeted by the nicest usher. He said that we are "beautiful people." I loved what he had said and wished him a happy day.
All movie theatres are on the second floor. You take the escalator up, which helps a klutz like me who carries snacks.
Everyone about to watch the movie with me were respectful. They were quiet and polite. Well, that changed.
I'd say that roughly halfway through the movie, two latecomers decided to come in and talk loudly. They sat practically behind me and chatted for most of the movie. It was annoying. My telling them to pipe down and the various stares that they got from everyone did nothing.
I like that this theatre has TimePlay. I came second out of three players. Yay!
I will say that the cleaning staff were prompt to come in when the credits were scrolling. I actually stayed till the end, as a preview of a future movie was being played. I got my fix and then promptly exited with my half-eaten candy floss.
The legroom at this theatre isn't as roomy as others, probably because this place had been around for a while. I sat in front of some rails, so I could easily stretch my legs.
I am hoping that the loud couple does not return to this theatre the next time that I revisit it. They were annoying on many levels. I didn't pay to hear them yak.
