Welcome to Thunderdome (a.k.a. The Harkins Parking Lot)

1:00 PM EDT on October 8, 2009

(Editor's Note from Patrick:  You may notice that this post is written by a guy named Royce.  This "Royce" is Royce Young from DailyThunder.  Starting today, he is going to bless everyone with a weekly column at The Lost Ogle.  In return for this token of awesomeness, Clark Matthews' inquisitive and insightful "Peace, Love and Thunderstanding" is now moving to DailyThunder.  You can read this week's PL&T by clicking here.

In all honesty, this situation is kind of bitter sweet.  We're losing a popular feature from our site (bitter), but replacing it with a weekly column from one of our state's most talented bloggers (sweet).  Hopefully, everyone will like it.  If you're skeptical, consider this fact: Jim Traber dislikes Royce Young almost as much as he dislikes The Lost Ogle.  Considering Royce doesn't own any type of cardboard cutouts of Jim Traber, that's saying something.

Anyway, enjoy the new feature.  And as Bob Barry Jr. would say, "Hooters!"

I really like going to movies downtown. The atmosphere is cool, the Cine Capri is awesome and by still using my student ID even though I graduated last December, I get tickets cheaper than anywhere else, sans Tinseltown. (I'll pay an extra two bucks to avoid a bomb threat.) It's all very wonderful.

But one aspect of the Harkins experience is not very wonderful.
