The movie theaters in Greensboro are so confusing. We have The Grand, the Greensboro Grande and the Carousel Grande. It would be manageable if they used their names consistently, but that’s not the case.
Example: In the Dec. 26 paper, there’s an ad for the movie “Frost/Nixon” that says it is Now Playing, and it’s exclusively at the Carousel Grande. That’s the one on Battleground. I know because the phone number from the “Frost/Nixon” ad matches the phone number in the listings for (are you ready for this?) the Carousel Luxury Cinemas.
That’s right — nowhere in the movie listings ad does the theater call itself Carousel Grande, only in its “Frost/Nixon” ad. Furthermore, “Now Playing” evidently doesn’t mean now now, because “Frost/Nixon” is not listed anywhere in the ad with the movie times.
To make it even worse, The Grand Theatre at Four Seasons (called The Grand, no “e” at the end) seems to have stopped running its movie titles and times in the paper. Instead, it lists a phone number (let’s hope there aren’t 20,000 others trying to call when you do) and a Web site. So we turn to the Grande or the Grande instead.
We need a grand solution.
