What difference do booze and reclining seats make if I have absolutely no desire to see the latest piece of cr@p Hollyweird has produced?!
But $18.50 is not bad for a gourmet meal (If it really is!). Maybe you can get up and leave after the movie starts.
...and 99% of the movies suck.
Not much the theater owners can do about that.
[[Her in-cinema menu offers high-end fare you eat with your fingers, including crispy tempura green beans ($10), spicy tuna on crispy rice ($19) and Reuben croquettes with Swiss cheese ($15).]]
Lol
FREE BEER!
Is this a problem? Watch a movie, eat, drink.
it’s a stupid way of trying to increase revenue in face of steeply declining attendance
making something more expensive does not grow your industry
Eat fine food —huuugely overpriced- at a SEWER DEALERSHIP..?
Meh, no thanks.
Better would be cheap overpriced food at a sewer dealership.
Or just DO NOT GO to that sewer dealership:
Which I already do not.
"More than you have."
I remember going to a multiplex in the 80s and seeing several movies to choose from listed. Now I drive by and see nothing worth paying for. And I love movies. I think the last really impressive movie I saw was “Gone Girl”. I saw “Rogue1” and it was okay. Much better than “The Force Awakens”. The new comedies are awful. The last good one was “Worlds End” and thats British.
I have amazon prime and with $5 a month I get a load of Brit mysteries from Acorn, any one of which is more engaging than these overblown comic book movies.
I would go out to movies if they would make some good ones. But Hollywoods law that all movies push pervert values I’m going to keep passing.
Well, there is one shining light right now. And it is causing such an epidemic of Coulrophobia, that I wouldn’t be surprised if several wits and pranksters are taken up for the innocent act of tying a red helium balloon to a sewer grate.
$3 at the Elvis Cinema and we don’t buy the goodies.
The movies are past new release but we save a few bucks that way. Still new, though.
Saw Guardians of the Galaxy II last weekend.
I do think there is a niche for small theaters right now to show old classics and art (foreign) films, if they can create a pleasant enough atmosphere to bring in adult regulars.
Cruises have been seducing me since 1989 with gourmet food & live entertainment and ocean breezes. My alcohol intake boils down to 2 o3 drinks during a 7 day cruise.
Hells bells! Why not bribe them with pot? Then they will buy more eats. As we all know, pot induces the “Munchies.”
Pot will also cause these mush head movie goers to swallow the Leftist pap that has contaminated today’s scripts.
We went to see a movie recently. Two tickets, popcorn, two drinks, and a candy: $54! The negative experience of ads, noise, and other things is why we have a nice system at home to enjoy instead.
I love the movie parties at Dallas area Alamo Drafthouses. Special foods and drinks, quote-alongs to Willie Wonka with two of the original kids in person, Blazing Saddles, Rocky Horror with the original cast, Galaxy Quest and a tribute to Alan Rickman, Love Actually to cheer or boo along, and two different Die Hard parties, including one on Christmas Eve. Props to join in on the screen action. Massive bowls of popcorn for the price of a tiny box at other theaters. Worth the cost!
And it’s always the same movie, muzzie lovin homo defeats the racist Christians.
They might be able to seduce me if they’d tell their lib whack-job actors to STFU. That would be a start.
