Movie Theatres

Yes, Whitehorse has 2 of 'em. I don't know about the rest of the world, but I was surprised.

The movie theatres are owned by the same company (Landmark) and are equally ancient. Word is a larger complex, like SilverCity will be moving to the Chilkoot centre, but that word has also been going around for a few years, so, like 'telephone' the message has gotten garbled and forgotten.

One theatre is called the Qwanlin and the other, the 'Yukon.' Apparently the Qwanlin is the nicer one but I honestly can't tell the difference.

The seats are a dusty red velvety colour, the screen rather pockmarked like a young teen, and the popcorn positively reeks. Oh, but they use margerine, for superior taste!

I have been in the office of the Qwanlin and it was hideous. There was a couch, a desk, and garbage. So much garbage. Oh well, seems to work for them.

The picture quality is pretty decent, it cut out in the middle of a crucial scene of the newest James Bond movie, but it only happened once. Oh and one time we showed up to the Yukon and the heater was broken. It was a very chilly movie experience.

I just wouldn't advocate using the washrooms (frightening, no locks work, gratuitous graffiti...) or eat the popcorn (from this decade??)

Enjoy the show! Currently playing: Qwanlin: Paul Blart :Mall Cop and The Pink Panther (really..)

Yukon: Friday the 13th (excellent!) He's Just Not That Into You (no comment)
