Hayden Discount Cinema — Attraction in Hayden

THE MANAGER SUCKS!!!!!! DO NOT GO TO THIS THEATER. I normally have a decent time here, not too good; not too bad. Today I decided I’m not going back. When we first arrived at this theater today, everything was decent. SUPER PACKED. The staff were not friendly. We walked up to purchase our tickets and we were speaking with a fellow who wasn’t smiling at all. I asked him “why it was so busy?” Normally it’s not. He said “ every Saturday it is this busy. I have never been here on Saturday so I wouldn’t know.Once our tickets and popcorn (6.50 for a large popcorn that isn’t even that good) we walked to our theater. We were seeing Reck it Ralph breaks the internet. We go in to the theater with 3 other FAMILIES. All with more than one child. And none of us had a seat. It was completely full. We go back to get a refund because we’re not standing the whole time. We go back to speak to the manager and warn our family coming to not buy the tickets. The guy was basically refusing so we get I’m line to not disrupt the line. As soon as we are getting close to the front the guy who we talked a little to in the beginning ( WHICH WAS THE MANAGER) switched places with a young girl ( who was very sweet. She has blond hair if the owner is reading this, she deserves to be manager SHE IS 100 PERCENT MORE MATURE THAN THE ACTUAL MANAGER NAMED AUSTIN) When we get up to the front, the girl was extremely helpful and kind. She called the manager, who we didn’t know was the same guy being extremely rude. We asked for a refund and why he didn’t count how many tickets he sold. AND HE SAID WE COUNT THE TICKETS AFTERWARDS. WHO ON EARTH COUNTS HOW MANY TICKETS THEY SELL TO KEEP TRACK AFTER THE MOVIE? He never apologized and said that he can not refund us for the popcorn.

THE MANAGER AUSTIN, HES TALL WITH GLASSES DOESNT DESERVE THE MANAGER POSITION. HE IS RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL. ISNT A GOOD PROBLEM SOLVER AND SHOULD BE DEMOTED FROM MANAGER.

ITS ALSO CASH ONLY IF ANY OF YOU ARE WONDERING ITS LIKE 2-3 BUCKS JUST...

Sunday May 1, 2022 we went to see the Nicholas Cage movie (the one with the goofy long name)... Personally, I think that movie stunk. How it ever got approved to be made into a movie is mind-boggling. Almost the whole movie was boring and just plain stupid, and even worse, it was annoying. I like Nicholas Cage, but geez... This movie was a lame story about Nicholas Cage wanting to play a role in a movie. It was like watching an embarassing HUGE ego-stroking home video that you couldn't wait for it to end. The VERY LONG, LONG loud yelling (think soccer announcer...) was SO irksome I felt like getting up and walking out. Near the end, the movie FINALLY had an actual story with a plot. That part was ok and there were a few laughs...but overall...what an agonizing waste of time and expense that was all around. Now, as to the theater itself, really nice people working there when we went. We just opted for water (Kirkland brand), so no review on food or drink... The seats were different from years ago... The arm rests have beverage holders in them and go up, so if you want to sit closer to your significant other, you can do that. For whatever reason though, they weren't very comfortable. My legs didn't like the seat... It felt like it was too long or something, pressing on the sciatica(?)... My legs just crawled and my left leg started to go numb. I didn't have that problem before the movie nor after, so it was definitely that seat. As to the floor of the theater.... Just a legitimate question for ALL theaters.... WHY are the floors ALWAYS so sticky??? Old spilled sodas, candy, etc... Seriously... WHY are they not mopped clean???? Ever since I've been a kid, the floors in theaters have been sticky and you hate getting into your vehicle with that yuck stuck to your feet... Enough already. Other than all that, we'll definitely be back to see another...

Hayden Discount Cinema: Because Who Needs Fancy When You’ve Got Comfortable Seats and Popcorn That Costs Less Than Gasoline

You know how most movie theaters these days make you feel like you need to apply for a small business loan before buying tickets and snacks? Not here. At Hayden Discount Cinema, I walked in with a $20 bill, and instead of the usual feeling of dread, I felt… hope. I even walked out with change. I’m still processing that.

It’s the perfect spot for families on a budget. You can bring the whole crew, watch an actual Hollywood movie, and still have enough money left over for concessions… or at least for something resembling dinner on the way home. My kids think I’m generous, but really, I’m just exploiting the economics of this place.

The seats? Surprisingly comfortable. None of that “luxury recliner that squeaks so loud it could double as a horror movie sound effect” nonsense. Just good, solid seating that supports you through two hours of explosions, talking animals, or the 17th reboot of whatever Disney just remembered it owns.

The place has this old-school charm. No one tries to upsell you on something with “artisan” in the name, and you can tell it’s run by people who actually live here. It’s a theater that knows its job—show the movie, sell you popcorn, and not make you feel like you just gambled away your paycheck.

If you want a spotless, high-tech, luxury experience… this isn’t it. But if you want to watch a movie without your credit card crying for mercy, and you don’t mind a little character (the kind you wipe off the armrest), Hayden Discount Cinema is the place.

Bottom line: this theater proves you can have fun, be comfortable, and keep your financial dignity intact. And in today’s economy, that’s basically...
