And when I visit, if we’re seeing a movie, it’s usually at a newer theater.

The last movie I saw there may have Jerry Maguire.

I probably have not been to this theater in 20 years since I moved out of MD. Horizon Marley still is a nice place to see movies.

The movies are overshadowed by Cinemark’s Arundel Mills monsterplex and its modern frills. Restrictions on “mallrats,” and a 9 pm closing time, have reduced warm bodies considerably. Marley Station itself is considered to be a dying mall. Concessions, which stick to the basics, are reasonably priced. Most Wednesdays, adult prices are $6 (and the upcharge). A shame, as prices under Horizon are much lower than at the Cinemark Egyptian: $9 top adult price, $6 matinees, plus a $3 upcharge for 3-D. The picture playing across the hall also seemed to have a tiny crowd. The place was very quiet for a Friday evening: the two showings of “Rocky Horror” I attended drew a grand total of 24 people, very unusual for a Halloween weekend, and far fewer than Marley typically had during the movie’s 1987-92 run there. The decor of the auditoriums has been changed as well, and there are reclining seats. (UA’s 1-2-3 and 8 were mono in the 35mm era.) #1 (old 6) also has new continental seating and full Dolby Digital with surrounds. 8/1 is larger than I remember, and now has Dolby Digital front channels only (no surrounds). New #8 (old #1), the smallest house, has been remodeled, with the UA “shoebox” seating arrangement replaced with continental seating (eliminating the center aisle). The auditoriums have been re-numbered: 6 through 8 are now 1 to 3 #4 is the old, large #5 and the old 4-3-2-1 are now 5-6-7-8. The stand itself is half as large as before, with the other half now occupied in part by a popcorn-butter dispenser. The original box office is closed one now buys tix at the concession stand. Looks pretty much the same as it did in the UA days.
