"'They said no to our offer,' the Loews insider said. 'They said they didn't want Metreon to be seen as just a big movie theater.'"
Funny, I don't think I or anyone I know ever thought of Metreon as anything but a big movie theater, albeit inexplicably glorified with glaring Chotchkie's-esque "flair."
Metreon's retail spaces always seemed like concepts rather than places people bought stuff—like museum gift shops … with rickets, I guess you could say. (I was searching for something antipodal to "on steroids.") I think I picked up a Gameboy Advance there once, and maybe a PS2 game I never played.
Oh, and the restaurants blew chunks and literally stank of low morale (which smells surprisingly like grilled low-grade meat, actually).
