Theather general

Lets talk about theaters.

What does Sup Forums think about the growing trend of theaters accommodating movie goers with reclining couches, sheets, pillow, wine, and dinner?

Glad my theater installed the Thanksgiving section. If I want to bring my entire family to a holiday feast and movie my theater sets up a table on the first row with Turkey ready to order. My only complaint is the theater's stuffing and cranberry sauce.

Thought only my theater did this. Personally I could have done without the theater Christmas tree. Just ruins the lighting.

I didn't mind the tree but the New Years fireworks made it really hard to hear the movie.

>be me
>theater Easter
>kids searching under my seat

Going to the theatre in the UK is still pretty hard, you need to apply for a licence and take a screening test.

Only recently got mine.

Theater halloween is the worst. I never bring any candy so all I can give is just the crab leg I was too full to eat

Me? I'd serve crab legs

>apply for a licence

Fuck sake, forgot about this. The tax has gone up (I say tax, I mean the price, fuck off it isn't a 'tax' it's to fill mr Shekelstiens pockets... Admin fees my ass).

Still, gotta do it or I'll get put on the billboard.

Honest question, would Sup Forums actually pay to sit at a Sup Forums theater if the prices were cheap?

I think it's the reason I sit in my bed and watch movies. I'll pass, the penis inspection and single policy are a bit over the line imo.

How did you forge the non-singles verification form?

How was everyone's theater escorts? When mine saw my cock she just walked off. Couldnt even get a refund

God no. Unless you take out all the weird shit but then it wouldn't be a Sup Forums theater

Here teaching in worst Korea, haven't been to a bad theater here. They're all super clean, don't care about bringing in food.

The concessions are super cheap and they have classic buttered popcorn, but also caramel and cheddar.

I used my last $10 getting my falcon in so I had to use the discount gloryhole

Were there kids in your theater?

They do pretty good wine at my local. It's nice.

Retarded. Sure make the seats comfy, but don't make the theatre 'netflix and chill' except in the middle of town. If people want giant sofas or beds to lie on and sheets to wrap up in while they can snack on big meals then they should fucking stay home and watch a movie. Making cinemas emulate this is pointless and will only serve to drive up costs. I hate the move from cinemas as basically a way for the public to be exposed to and enjoy art, to a place where you chat and laugh and meet friends and eat bad, overpriced and unhealthy snacks with some big flashing lights in the background that you occasionally gawp at. Because of this move to appeal to the lowest common denominator cinemas now only screen shit that they think will generate the most money. People who actually like film have to look further and further for places that screen good films, and in many cases have to rely solely on watching films online or waiting for dvd releases.

Fuck normies, they ruin literally everything.

Seeing as how the majority of the movie industry is already way too far gone there isn't any saving it. So as a PSA for everyone else out there, if you have a hobby that isn't infested with normies for the love of christ do everything in your power to keep it that way.

>I'll get put on the billboard.

Fuck don't remind me, my mate got put in the theatre stockade for a week after he was caught with watching a film without a licence.

I gave them my old facebook login details, - which was in a relationship last time I used it.

Painstakingly, I found a small alcove in my Government Appointed Temporary Accommodation where they couldn't see me and spent several weeks piecing it together by memory, only a few minutes at a time so they didn't get suspicious and send the bobbies 'round.

>his cinema is so low class it allows falcons in

Hawks are better. Eagles are a VIP only option.

>that faggot with the Vulture Eagle

Fucking epeen of the theatre world.

I dont like mine. I'm too fat for the tiny recliner and my leg presses the button that extends and retracts the legs so the entire movie my legs are flopping around. Must be annoying for everyone else. Feels like a 4D movie for me though

Basically this
I hope the pendulum swings back at some point when I'm still alive or aware enough of my surroundings to enjoy it
Normie genocide when

That's a niche type of experience. It may work for some theatres here and there, but it's a specialty thing.

If they want to increase theatre attendance, all they have to do is start serving be.

In these theatres where they serve hot food do they keep the lights up a little so you can see what you're cutting and shovelling into your face?

I'm in the UK and we don't have this.

I like it, mostly because the leg room is much better. The price isn't much higher than a normal theater, but it prevents poor people from making noise during the movie.

Not really, mostly you rely on the screen to provide the light. But almost everything is finger food (sliders, shrimp, pizza, etc.) so there's not much to cut.

>go watch the new blockbusters at a big cinema literally hundreds of miles away
>turns out there's teens talking with each other in a loud and annoying way, bla bla bla bla, munching popcorn, sipping soda and texting in these things
>a fat young man can't stop howling behind me and he stinks also
Damn these kids

I work as a server at a theater called Cinebarre in the US. It has a bar where they can order any drink you'd find at a normal bar, serves all sorts of food. Burgers, Salads, Ice cream, Pretzel Sticks etc. The lights are always a little bit more lit than normal so we can read the receipts and know which seats to deliver the food/drinks to. In some though it's still dark enough I need to use my phone light to read the seat and row number.

Also, they ID at the door so nobody under 21 allowed in.

i've only been to one place in the city with reclining seats. i love how comfortable they are, and how spaced out the rows are, making it so that people no longer block the screen.

but being able to recline back is fucking awkward. i would prefer some kind of platform to just kick up your feet.

i guess i don't mind those seats. but one trend i kind of hate is serving food and drinks inside the theater while movies are playing. fuck that shit

Literal oldfag here, as in older guy. What is funny about the Sup Forums theater meme is back in my day we but only joked about having god damned hamburgers and shrimp to serve in the theaters to make us even more comfortable, but your generation managed to take it a step further. Not ONLY do you serve sliders and sea critters in the theater but you basically added beds yes BEDS in your newer theaters to even be LAZIER and fit us in the new age American stereotype. Its ridiculous. I can only imagine how much of the things you people joke about in this thread that will become a reality and supercede even my own expectations of jokes into reality I had back in my day. Its ridiculous. Sup Forums theater is real.

i'm willing to pay extra to keep out the plebs and the proles
(i live in nyc)

Me likey

go away FBI

I think the last time I went to the cinema was when Matrix 3 came out. I find it an inferior experience to just watching a movie at home.

Youre missing out on some good 3D releases

I went and saw la la land in a theater like this last night, I wont be returning. Waiters walking in constantly giving people food, people talking and chewing loudly, getting drunk on the cheap wine, glasses clanking together. It was a nightmare.

>glasses clanking together

Were they doing a fucking toast?

>he doesnt host parties at the theater

Mine is so courteous they pause the movie halfway and ask everyone to join join in singing to the birthday boy. When theyre done they turn the lights up so everyone can get a slice of cake and return to their seats

What so yours doesn't have a dance intermission as well?

AMC has "cinema suites" which are dine-in theaters with recliners and waitstaff. The thing that really makes the ticket worthwhile is the "no under 18" policy, that and the price tends to keep them from being culturally enriched.
>mfw you watch a movie and there's no clapping
>mfw nobody has their cell phones out trying to record a scene
>mfw no stinky cocoa butter wafting through the theater
you Europeans have no idea how fucking good you have it.

>hawks are better
hawks are for poorfags who wish they could afford a falcon. you are correct about the eagles though.

>hasnt heard about our Father Daughter slow dance intermission special every Fathers day

Name 1 (ONE) theater that sells crab legs

The Famous Jameis down in Tampa.

the one next to me

Reclining chairs and reserved seats are great. Anything more then that, no.
Having a waiter come up and take your order and eating a real dinner is distracting for the movie. Movie theater food was good because it was all finger food that you didn't need to look at. Your eyes were still on the screen like it should.

Tl;dr: Reclining chairs and reserved seats are good, everything else is gay

>that pic

Here we go again

>be me
>get good seats
>orgy group comes in
>sits in front of me
>cant hear movie over moans or eat crab legs since Chad shot a hot load in the air and landed on plate

>not enjoying the feeling of being on the sea while watching your 3D movie

Thats so fucking pretentious its absurd

After the frakking disaster I don't think I'll ever go back.

something that is more interesting in concept than in reality.
hope you dont need to piss.

What the hell is going on here

They were watching life of pi at the reopened and restored piscine molitor.

There is literally nothing uninteresting about that shit. Except maybe the movie.

>his theatre doesn't have hottubs

It saves time as you don't have to use the cinema showers and you can keep fresh crab in the tub. It's absolute genius.

Mins does, its great

Halloween was kinda nice when I was chosen as the designated shooter, made me feel less awkward dressing up, I chickened out before I could go through with it though.

And here i thought Sup Forums theater was just a meme

Maybe if it were like a Rocky Horrorseque edition of The Dark Knight Rises recut with Sup Forums voices and everyone in the theater needs to shout the entire plane scene out loud. That could be dope desu famalam.

What movie is Tsimtsum referencing?

I could never sit in a hot tub for over 2 hours.

The only problem is that they can get clogged with soggy popcorn plus the chance of contracting aids.

For the sheer movie experience though it's definitely worth the risk.

Movie theaters will be increasingly gimmick-oriented as home theaters become cheaper and more abundant.
