As someone who also feels that the development is unecessarily ugly and opposed the extreme subsidy, I have to say that as an autofree resident of the Loring Park neighborhood, I have enjoyed having access to the theater for first run Hollywood Movies, and even the closer convenience of Border Books with it's later hours than others downtown(though I still go out of my way to go to independent bookstores for the majority of my book purchases).
Matinee tickets(before 6pm) are only $4.00 which I thought was a real bargain when I treated many of my visiting relatives to a 5:45 pm showing of The Two Towers. We went to Hard Rock Cafe before hand and spent some time in Game Works following doing a little bowling. I also have seen two other movies there with freinds on a lark. Having a theater only 8 blocks away seems a luxury when seeing a Hollywood first run movie outside of the selection available at the Lagoon/Uptown or St. Anthony Main meant the more complicated prospect of bussing to the 'burbs.
