“This movie theater is very run-down and I think they could use some healthy competition,” reads the lone other comment about the South Wind on the Journal World‘s site. I brought some friends of mine from out-of-town here for a movie, and I was apologizing the whole time for how bad the seats are.” “The auditoriums are dirty and cramped, and usually the movies are out of focus. “They have the MOST uncomfortable seats EVER,” reads one review of the South Wind on the Journal World‘s own website. Not with a well-deserved tide of negative opinion washing over the outdated South Wind on the internet and among locals. Not with but a single crappy theater there in sore need of repair or more likely replacement.

Not with Lawrence stuck in the cinematic Stone Ages. Look, there’s a time and a place to joke around – I do it regularly, try to anyway – but this was not one of those times. However instead of calling Regal out and getting the company to address the South Wind’s mulitudinous shortcomings, Lawhorn tap danced around the issues and wrote a column lede lamely joking about smuggling candy and popcorn poppers into the theater. R ecently Lawrence Journal World reporter Chad Lawhorn had a chance to help remedy the situation when he interviewed the South Wind’s new owners Regal Entertainment.The same guys that run the also old, but vastly better movieplex at Station Casino.

Pardon my French people, but it’s a shit hole. The seating is cramped, unkempt and uncomfortable, the theater is dirty and the quality of the projection, you-name-it is majorly substandard. The theater – errected by deceased AMC chieftain Stan Durwood‘s brother Richard Durwood in 1997 – looks fine…from the outside. You’re about to to read online quotes that you won’t believe from people who’ve seen movies at the South Wind. I’m migrating this story over in part from KCC’s sister site in LA…īecause while everyone in Lawrence knows how incredibly bad the South Wind 12 movie theater there sucks, they need help in calling attention to the situation.
