Every time I go on a date in the movies, I get the popcorn and cut a hole in the bottom so my penis can be in there for them to find as a surprise. This was especially exciting during those years when I was a woman.
Umm wtf?
There is plenty left on the floor in that picture
Must restrain self… eats half the popcorn… god that’s salty AF but so good… Drinks 1/2 gallon of soda…
breaks the seal before the movie starts, followed by one trip half way through and my right leg tapping during the climax and busting out to the bathroom 10 sec into the credits.
Eat before watching the movie, eat after watching the movie.
If you still crave popcorn then buy after the interval cause climax will be the best place to not have snoring stomach.
Before The Movie 2
Return of the ads
I love our little local indie cinema. Super comfy recliners, they don’t deliver your food until after it starts. And the food is fucking soooo good. We got huge (gotta be over 2 lbs) of nachos with chicken, pico, cheese, avocado, for $14. Between the two of us we couldn’t finish it.
Movies over 2h gotta have a halftime to go pee and buy more popcorn
if i pay for a fucking cinema ticket why is it normalized that they air 20 minutes of ADS, i PAID for the movie fuck off
Why not go a little later?
I went in like 15min late, there was no-one to inspect my ticket so it felt criminal to let myself in but I went in regardless and had a good time, saw only two ads though
Yeah, I always show up when the movie actually starts. I know that AMC lists the actual start time along with the showing time. This usually happens on accident anyway, my friends are always late to show up to carpool anyways
With my luck, specifically that screening will be ad-free and I’ll miss a lot.
I could swear there was a short time when the movie actually started at the time specified and they just played the ads earlier.
That’s how I remember it growing up
Not OP, but I used to always have to show up early so I could get good seats — why do the rows just feet from the screen even exist — but I guess now that selecting seats when you buy your ticket online is normalized, it isn’t usually necessary. Hadn’t considered before, though tbf I rarely go to the theater.
Cause suckers like you keep coming back. It is just that simple.
Me paying a premium to watch a movie in a cinema: Still have to watch 30min of ads, expensive drinks and snacks, have annoying subs in my language, no leg space.
Me downloading a movie and watch it on my beamer: No ads, pause whenever I want, cheap drinks and snacks, nice English subs, comfortable couch with endless leg space, no one complaining when I take a bump of cocain to counter the alcohol.
Yeah but unlike the cinema, at home there’s no random old dude trying to give you a handjob whether you want one or not.
I’ve never had that happen to me. Where can I find the cinema where this old dude goes to, and what kind of movies does he like? Asking for a friend.
I don’t think we’re talking about the same kind of theater
I haven’t watched a movie in a theatre in over ten years. I don’t plan on breaking that streak anytime soon.
but is there … other reasons than your hate of cinema? when was the last time u been to the gym friend?
The fuck does the gym have to do with a movie theater?! How the actual fuck did you go form A to Q like that.
Because it takes at least HALF A FUCKING HOUR FROM START TIME TO THE ACTUAL MOVIE
Its OK though, youll have a whole cinema performance to distract you from your popcornless existence.
The popcorn exists solely to get you through the adverts.
IMAX is a fucking scam. I want a 30% refund for every IMAX ticket I’ve ever bought.
Yeah, you eat all the snacks during the previews so you don’t make excessive noise and disturb others during the actual film
How i wish people would do that. Last 2 movies I went to was one hour of extremely loud munching noises.
If someone tells me during the ads, that they don’t like to hear me crunching the snacks when the movie starts, I always whish I have some left until then. ^^
For real, crunching popcorn during a movie is something one can and should expect in a cinema. I don’t understand. Why go there and complain?
I stopped going for this reason recently. For the first time since covid I got no upcoming cinema visits and don’t plan to change that.
I enjoy atmospheric movies, sometimes they are quiet and try to build up tension with subtle sound design.
Popcorn kills that. Like if we’re watching some action flick crunch away. But if it’s some atmo horror or whatever movie, maybe 50 people chewing with their mouths open and slurping drinks kind of negates the whole point of the movie.
While you might have got the impression, I try to destroy the atmosphere in a cinema with popcorn; I actually don’t. I wittnessed a neighbour being asked to chew quiter and I told myself: If I would sit next to the person who complained, I wouldn’t react, because wtf. Why complain about the physiology of chewing? My neighbour was definetly not loud or searching for trouble.
Only when such things happen I feel like a rebell and I think the complaining person should find another place to sit instead of exercising power over other people. When you do something with other people you don’t know, you have to expect things they do differently.
Back to the cinema: Most movies I watch at home. Only for those festival films I can find only in the smaller local cinemas that are still around, I go waching outside. I can behave myself, but others should too. (:
Potato Chips and Corn Nuts are fantastic snacks everyone should eat during the movie…
Especially if you wash them down with a nearly empty drink using a straw.
I’ll see my way out.
Shake the ice around to make more liquid. Just give it a real good swirl. Then stab at the ice with the straw so it makes that horny goose noise.
Yeah…I miss when I had a full home theatre in my basement for that exact reason. I basically only go now if I can splurge for the VIP seats or I know it’s gonna be an empty theatre. So basically never.
Then you spend the rest of the movie with greasy, gritty fingers, an odd taste in your mouth, and a wayward kernel stuck between your teeth.
No thanks; I keep my popcorn eating to home movie watching, where I can pause to wash my hands, refill the snack tray, and floss my teeth if needed.
wayward kernel stuck between your teeth
If it at least were a Linux kernel.
You don’t bring floss to the theater?
Or wet wipes?
Wet wipes are hell, for some reason they leave my hand sticky with something even if they were clean before what the fuck do they put in them??
Mostly a proprietary blend of hydrogen and oxygen.
Lmaoo
