Following up on the earlier article on how disgusting the Century City AMC hallways in the basement are, here’s some information I got from the manager working over the weekend.

We had just seen the new Bourne movie, and had to sit through the entire thing smelling the hallway stink wafting in.

The manager said:

-They are very aware of the stink.
-They are working to get permission from the mall to put in a new air duct that leads to that hallway.
-They will not be replacing the carpet until they get permission to put in an air duct, and not until the air duct is built, because otherwise the carpet would just end up smelling bad again.

From the way the manager was reacting to my questions I’m sure that they’ve been hearing about this problem for a while now. I’ve noticed the stink for months, and I know it wasn’t there for many months after the place opened.

It’s a shame that they don’t make enough money to put in a temporary solution that doesn’t smell like a grave, so if you’re in theaters 1 or 2 on the lower floor, look forward to enjoying the vomit-inducing stink for a while to come.

[Update]
Just to add a little more information, we’re talking about the AMC theater in the Century City Westfield Mall, which you can find by following your nose.

Also, here’s a great comment from plasmasplasm contributer Ces:

Not replacing the stinky carpet is a total cop-out. Things smelled fine in there for a solid year after the theater opened. If those cheap assholes replaced the carpets, they’d add another smell-free year to the hallways.

I’ll tell you one thing. It’s going to take more than a couple of fucking ducts to make those hallways not smell like an inside-out ass.

While you’re at it, AMC, refurbish the Santa Monica 7. It’s so dank in there I constantly expect puppets from Fraggle Rock to jump out of my popcorn and teach me useless shit.

Truly the AMC Century City deserves its Beyond Therapy Dog Raping Shit Eater badge of failure.
