Attack of the Alien Armchair: The Adventure of the New "Luxury" Movie Seats
I entered theater 6 at Manhattan's 84th Street AMC Loews in that relaxed, absentminded way you do when you are confident of the physical surroundings that await you--the way you do when you are entering your neighborhood grocery store or the lobby of your apartment building. To my utter shock, instead of familiar movie seats, what I found stretched out in front of me was a strange-looking sea of huge, carmine-red armchairs. It reminded me of a furniture showroom.
