Good and bad news to report. Our favorite movie theater, the Super Saver Cinemas at the Superstition Springs mall, is gone! Their listings quit showing up online a couple of days ago and when we called their phone number it just rang and rang. Yesterday we went to the mall to see what was going on. The marquee was empty and there was a "thanks for the business but we're gone" sign hanging in the box office window. It was our favorite because they only charged $2.00 general admission with $1.50 Tuesdays. Yes, they showed second run movies but we've gotten used to waiting to see most movies. $4 to see a movie second run is much more attractive to us than $14 for a first run movie... in most cases.
Now the good news. We found another second run movie theater in Tempe (that didn't take very long, did it?) It's more expensive ($3.00 general admission and $2.00 Tuesdays) and it's almost a 20 minute drive but the seats are MUCH more comfortable! To say the seats at the Super Saver were "uncomfortable" is being very charitable! A good imitation of a medieval torture device is a better description.
