On Monday Pacific Theaters Galleria 16 at the Sherman Oaks Galleria went for a three-month hiatus while workers rebuild the complex into an ArcLight, the second one in California. Construction costs are expected to exceed $10 million in a sparkly, new treat-filled experience for patrons. When the theater reopens in December, it will have a lovely bar, cafe, complimentary four-hour parking and...fresh caramel corn. I'm unclear why fresh caramel corn is considered a part of an upscale experience but the bar, cafe and four-hour parking definitely speak to me. Also of important note - the theatre seats will be wider, and the 16 screens will have improved sound and picture quality. I only hope that they will train their employees at this location as well as they've trained them for the Hollywood digs. Nothing sets me off like a person who has to text during a movie...because it's RUDE. They seem to have eliminated that type of moviegoer from their Hollywood location. Let's hope they can bring that civility to the Valley locale.
