Hey Michael - I thought it was well worth the extra $$ too, but my hubby's a real polani that way. We live west, by Logger's Run, but go to Muvico because it's such a great place. The ultimate movie experience! |

Muvico: bigger seats, smaller screens.

No way, Dave. The screen just looks smaller in that pic because of the stadium seating. But you're right about the seats - they are like comfortable driver's seats |

Dave's right. The place looks like a dump. Not for us here in Maplewood. |

For those of us in not in the know, what the heck is Muvico? (I'm a poet and don't know it ). Or maybe that's another thread? By the way, it is well known that old money doesn't discuss money, ever. Seems like he/she is just trying hard to get a rise out of someone, and not at all what he/she claims to be. |

I'm old money...Old money=class It also means you wouldn't have gotten to where you are without help from daddy. The reason old money doesn't want to mingle with new money is that they feel inferior. Rightfully so. |

Bigger seats= bigger patrons = larger portions = BIG PROFITS! How long before the surgeon general requires warnings on those seats? |

Children of new money aren't old money - they are just extra obnoxious. |

I prefer middle-age money. It doesn't stick together when peeling off a few c-notes and yet isn't wrinkled from repeat trips in the washing machine. |

meandtheboys - Muvico is a chain of massive, high-end and high-service multiplexes. They started in Florida, and are now in NC, GA, MD and soon to be in NJ. They have special balcony levels that are adult-only, and the $16 or $18 ticket includes valet-parking, soft-drinks and snacks, loveseat seating with side tables and drop-off childcare.

Posted by Strawberry in the thread about people talking in a movie theater: "agreed. Once I became rich the first thing I did was buy a complete home theater system. I haven't been to a theater in 15 years as a result." Just how old ARE you (and your money), Straw?

Yeah Straw... Those of us who earn it, we're definetly morons. Dave, Muvico's screens are HUGE, wall to wall, and the theatres are fabulous with every one THX certified. From the press release: The new megaplex will feature an elaborately themed lobby and an expansive concession stand with exceptional offerings; state-of-the-art technology; wall-to-wall screens; Dolby digital surround sound; stadium-seating with spacious custom rocking seats and 46” row spacing to offer enough room to walk between aisles; and well-trained staff providing Muvico’s award-winning signature friendly service. Megaplex plans include a Premier Level with nine balcony auditoriums and a full-service restaurant and bar plus a 15,000 square foot rooftop terrace featuring a 60-foot outdoor screen for outdoor movie viewing with a helipad and private access for VIP’s to the Premier Level. I'm so excited I can't stand it. Plus they have on-site BABYSITTING! Muvico is the best movie theatre experience there is. |

The image of the screen is from Muvico's web site. The seating looks comfy, but not double-ticket-price-comfy as, say Lowe's stadium seating on Rt22. It will appeal to many people, though, with the childcare element. |
