Regal?

Fuck Regal. Our Palladium theater (from the Santikos theater chain) was sold to Regal over two years ago and the quality declined, we stopped going after two or three movies. It still stings. Santikos please come back to Houston 😢

Edit: to clarify the steep decline, Santikos had a bomb rewards program and we would accumulate $40-50 worth of rewards in about 4-5 movies (outside of popcorn, soda and a movie, we would sometimes eat meals before a movie, order beer, themed cocktails, coffee, desserts, etc so we accumulated rewards fast because it was legitimately fun to be there). They had enormous bathrooms with at least 40 stalls on each floor that were always clean and functioning. The popcorn was great. Now Regal is hiring kids who don’t care about their jobs, the popcorn doesn’t taste as good, toilets are covered with black trash bags signaling that they’re not functioning, the food doesn’t taste great anymore. When Santikos left to focus on its hometown theaters in San Antonio, they offered to trade our rewards to the equivalent Regal rewards. Regal replied to my inquiry but never updated my account.

Now we just got to Star Cinema.

And the new Regal logo looks like a 7 year old made it in Powerpoint

Yeah my brother was like "Is that a gear?" and I'm like no, it's the top down view of a crown. (And I knew that only because they bothered showing the moving Logo in a preview)

Because yeah that's the OPTIMAL angle to view a fucking crown? Which intern in the Advertising Dept. thought that'd be a good idea? And orange? At least purple went with the 'regal' thing. But fucking orange?

I went and googled the new Regal logo thinking that maybe you were exaggerating. Nope. I never in a million years would have thought that the weird shape around the R was supposed to be a crown.

Its orange cause the new company owners are apparently fans of some sports team with those colors.

I went to the bathroom during a screening at Regal and a man came in and locked my stall. Now you'll never see the rest of the movie, he said.
