Default On-line movie tickets

I found out we can no longer purchase movie tickets from The Villages box office on-line. It was a nice convenience for avoiding long lines at the ticket window, especially in bad weather or for hit shows.

Very Stale Popcorn a few nights ago at the beginning of a show. You'd think they'd be on their best behavior when first opening for business... like maybe have a regional manager on site to put their best foot forward. Also- on Facebook someone posted a photo of the theater's website. Page top is the marquee still showing the letters for Lazy Mac's and Boozy Bingo. To me that shows they are out of touch with their new host community- considering they shuttered that popular eatery.

It is still not the same experience as seeing a movie in a theater. The sound system alone cannot be matched by a home theater.

I'm going to see "White Christmas" with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye in the theater in LSL the end of this month. I am so looking forward to seeing this movie on a big theater screen.

this is good news for me because Epic has a lot of movie options our theater never had before. the titles here were very limited to mainstream, super-mainstream & duds, --nothing in between. a positive vote for AMC, where i CAN still get tix online, have a REALLY comfy chair & enjoy a nite out. i spent a lot of time there this Halloween season where the horror offerings were superb. a thumbs up from me
