text: This theater remains one of the last remnants a leftover reminder of what Fashion Square once was It was not always so posh No Fashion Square used to be kind of lowrent rather than fancy pants It used to be packed with kids ditching school anchored by a fuckin Sears and you even used to be able to smoke inside Before that it was originally a small somewhat openair story building anchored by a grocery store and a midlevel clothing department store nnToday Fashion Square is more of a destination for tourists looking for a swanky desert oasis shopping experience and a place for the wealthy and financial elite to escape the proletariat masses It is The Mall of America of the SouthwestnnGiven the transformation Fashion Square has gone through it is clear this Harkins theater needs to be redone or removed It will take more than a facelift This theater sticks out like a whore in church not just as a contrast to the mall it lives in but also among other Harkins Theaters that speckle the valley It is one of the worst examples left nnTo be honest it was never a very good theater Many of the screening rooms are tiny and they clean it about as well as an th grader cleans his room Sticky floors empty wrappers and a layer of crud on everything that you could scrape off with your fingernail the crud probably being a mixture of milk dud coating fake butter flavoring and dead skin nnThe location is awful it is stuck at the end of the food court When there is a sneak preview they have everyone line up on the upstairs walkway in the mall not the best way to save a spot in line if you are handicapped and have to take the elevator If there is a big movie out and somehow everyone wants to see it in this shithole they have you spilling out into the food court dining area creating a traffic nightmare and a bit of a mess nnWhat they need to do is remove a few theaters and expand the lobby so people can wait inside they could also expand the small theaters screens is enough Actually a better use of the space would be to fill the theaters up with garbage and then fill in the Lobby and hallway with cement and turn the front into a Cinnabon or something
