Seneca Rd. Admission: $3.50, Tuesday $1.50 (Experimental Bargain Hour: $2.) Once the movie starts at the West 11th, you’re in good shape Until then, hang onto your pa tience For some reason, the West 11th attracts a lot of kids Don't get me wrong, I love kids — I was one once, and still act like one on occasions It’s just that there are certain situations in which certain kids go crazy, and one of these is in movie theaters For instance, there was the time a kid in the second row lit a sparkler in the middle of "Dragon §1 rs an oid traeWton.

Slayer” and then tried desperately to put it out without catching the theater or himself on fire. Or the time the actress in “Clash of the Titans" got out of the tub, exposing her thigh to the three adolescents behind me You’d think they’d never seen human skin before. If you’re going to a movie rated less than ’R’ at the West 11th, be prepared. They always start the film at least 10 minutes late (to leave lots of time for junior high gossip), the front half of the auditorium will be filled with youngsters, and someone will scream halfway through the first reel when icy Coke runs down their leg The other bad thing about the West 11th is the refreshments. To get a carton of old, cellophane wrapped popcorn, you have to weave your way through a maze of low railings like a cow on its way to the slaughterhouse Like everywhere else, the prices are too high and the Pepsi's too sweet. The West 11th has three auditoriums and a drive-in, so make sure your movie is where you think it's going to be If you’re inside, the West 11th is a fine place to take your date if she's under twelve or has a thing about Walt Disney flicks. Springfield Quad Springfield Quad Cinemas 2005 Olympic St., Springfield Admission: $3, Thursday $1.50, Economy Hour $2. The Springfield Quad is another clone of the modern multi-cinema where everyone files past a central refreshment bar to a series of doors where, with the help of Monte Hall in an usher's outfit, they pick the door that leads to their movie Most of the seats at the Springfield Quad are the new comfortable rocking type The first 15 rows don’t rock, evidently as an incentive to get people to sit further back from the screen. On the whole the Springfield Quad is a nice, unobtrusive modern theater. The owners want to keep it in its present good condition — trash cans are located conveniently in the aisles.
