Remember when you could just walk in and sit down?
>>214247874I prefer choosing my seat before hand. People wandering around looking for what's available was awful
>>214247874A lot of pre-smartphone era things were better but this wasn’t one of them. I can show up to the theater five minutes before the show starts, I don’t have to get there two hours ahead of time to wait in line so I can get a halfway decent seat.
>>214247874then that ronald mcdonald dude got controlled via vibrating buttplug by the CIA to kill all those batman fans... now we're stuck with fatmedowns reclinomites because it's more safe
>>214247937I agree. Necessary change. This guarantees you get the seat you want, provided you do it early enough.
>>214247937You could barely see the people shuffling to get seats because they used to dim the lights even before the trailers. Now it's bright as shit.
>movie was shitclean it up
Unfortunately I cannot remember the last time it really would have mattered either way.
>>214247992They should replace the floors with some steel with holes in it and then put a den full of pigs down below it. They eat the corn, the theater kills the pigs, gets bacon and also renders butter into fat which can be used on more popcorn to feed more pigs to turn into butter
I prefer reserved seating honestly
>>214247956>I don’t have to get there two hours ahead of time to wait in line so I can get a halfway decent seat.Good morning
>>214247874My local cinema is usually almost empty.
Reserved seating is based. The walking in and grabbing any seat thing sucked when you tried to go with friends or family.
>>214247992>>214248042It's about sending a message.You don't make the main character bad ass I trash the theater. Simple as.
>>214247874the advantage of this is I don't need to show up early to get a good seat and can just come in 25 minutes before the movie listing time to skip the ads and trailers
>>214248042The stench of pig shit and the cacophony of their nonstop squealing in the darkness below would be somewhat disruptive to the movie.
>>214248208A small price to pay to avoid this to our local popcorn monkeys.
>>214247982Unless they went down your row looking for a seat. Then you'd hear the constant "excuse me"s and shuffling during the trailers.
Is it unethical / socially irresponsible to book the single open seat between two reserved seats?
>>214247874>>214247992So you pick your seat and prepay with a credit card right? Why not start charging a clean up fee if you leave trash in your seat? I know kids will fuck up the seat behind or in front just to fuck with people but it would probably stop a lot of this shit. Being framed would be the only reason not to do this but 1 camera could solve that problem. Surprised it's not a thing already
>>214248363It's perfectly fine because this fuckface is saying that its acceptable to have three reserved seats without even sitting in one, basicallyMore power to the guy choosing the seat in between

>>214248363yes, urinal rules apply
>>214248423>Sir you're being charged an additional fee for littering >ticket buyer puts a stop payment on his card for that transaction >theater loses the entire ticket saleAmazing
>>214248499that's why you don't say anything, dingus, you just charge them and them give them a 1-800 number to burn time on
>>214248042Butter comes from cow's milk actually, not pigs. This board just gets dumber and dumber. Who are you people and why are you stupid? No schooling? Are your parents divorced and they didn't teach you anything? WTF happened??
>>214248478>he doesn't walk up to the urinal next to someone and put your arm around him and give him a side hug and ask him how life is going while urinating next to him.>ngmi
>>214248208>The stench of pig shit and the cacophony of their nonstop squealing in the darkness below would be somewhat disruptive to the movie.But enough about urban youth!
>>214248423You put the trash in the bag you sneak the snacks in. Is it really that hard to not leave trash behind?
>>214248543Theater owners should just rape the audience members, since they apparently are exempt from all laws.
>>214248564>he thinks popcorn butter comes from cowsbless your heart
>>214248459Like a true 4chan troll. I suspected as much. How can an incel ruin a couple's good time? Got it!!
>>214247874You can't now? I haven't been in ages since the internet exists, but it's no wonder people don't go if they have to participate in spyware shit even for that.
>>214248564you really think these fat fucks are going to notice melted butter vs melted pork lard? they already eat a diet of 90% corn
>>214248600Sorry, you cannot justify being a disgusting slob and getting away with it. >clean it up, wagieYeah, you're not a king or rich or worthy of being waited on. You're a bitter manvirgin who wants to ruin everything for normal, adjusted people. The bums will always lose.
>>214248600what do you think "ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS" means? truly nigger behavior
>>214248611My local theater, Cinema 21, uses real butter. But your retort doesn't make lard into butter, so fuck off. You lose.
>>214248742how are you certain it's not pork lard
>>214248804Becuase its called Real Butter™
>>214247982That was so kino. In today's bright ass theatres it also means you gotta wait until the movie fucking starts so you can pull out all the junk food you stuffed in your pockets that you bought at the dollar store.
>>214248895I don't think I've ever met someone so fixated on butter before
>>214248742Should we tell him bros?
>>214247972it has its draw backs too. Now if i pick my seat days in advance, i could end up in the middle of two fat families, where as before I could just get up and move but now im stuck in that seat.
>>214247992>clean it up!>NOOO!!! Why is it taking so long I want to sit down!!!
>>214248161pic related wasnt so bad, i used to be an Usher. The worst shit was when people left their dip cups in the seat. if it was my theater you would be banned for a year for that.
>>214249798>dip cupsAs in chewing tobacco spit?
>>214248363lol. hey, if its that important, But the buffer seat. Sometimes i unironically buy 3 seats (since i get a free one every month) if i think it's gonna a packed showing.
>>214247874Remember when you couldn't see fuck shit before stadium seating and had to look past someone's head
>>214249831Yes
>>214247874>Remember when you could just walk in and sit down?no, the past was a horrible time of worrying about finding a good seat
>>214249895>before stadium seatingfellow old head recognized. those were weird times. Sticky as fuck floors too
>>214248611Contains: Milk I don't eat sloppa either but come on
>>214249933>the past was a horrible time of worrying about finding a good seat*cracks open a Monster Energy* yup. you would send someone ahead of time to get in line and then they would save seats for you and everyone else. toward the end of the 00s it was getting awkward with people going in and instantly saving 5 seats like it was the freaking Oklahoma land rush.
>>214249983pig's milk, hence the lack of the kosher markings
My local theaters website doesn't have bot protection, so i wrote a script that enters gift card information until it finds one that works. free movies for me.
>>214250107nice. do you buy popcorn and sodie with the savings?
>>214250107>kid receives gift card for their birthday>excited to see a movie>go all the way to the theater only to find that the gift card has already been redeemedyou're a cunt
>>214247874I would like to see the names of who sits where so I can avoid certain people
>>214247874My favorite part of this is calling the usher to kick people out of your seats right as the movie starts and then watching them walk out of the theatre super pissed off like their an innocent victim.
>>214250288it's well-earned, you only give kids gift cards if you're worried about them buying drugs with cash
>>214250288Guess they should’ve bought bot protection huh
>>214249895My local single screen theater doesn't have stadium seating so it's always a gamble when watching a foreign film that someone's head will block the subtitles.
>>214247956When did you ever need to do this unless you were watching some garbage "blockbuster" opening night?
>>214251704My arthouse theater usually gets 3 or 4 people tops so I always just sit front row.
>>214248656Melted pork lard sounds fucking delicious. I bet that popcorn would be 10x better.
>>214252282https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgXx_ZoclVEit's apparently a real thing, it's the next step in evolution
>>214251867When I saw Ran the other week, I got there right before it started and it was completely packed. I saw an empty seat with no one sitting in front of me and grabbed it. Right before the lights went down a dude who must have been 6'5 sat down ahead of me. There were no other empty seats around me. I just had to watch the films visuals and infer what was going on.
>>214247874To get a good seat you had to wait in a hugeass line.
>>214247937I prefer to be able to move seats if some annoying person sits near me.
>>214248363How is the stranger supposed to know those two people are together. Weird to do if there’s plenty of other seats though
Reserved seating is retarded. If you happen to get seats near some unsavoury "people", you can't just get up and move somewhere else.
>>214248095This.I started going to the movies again last winter, going about once a month, mostly just to get out of the house more.I go on weeknights, for the last show of the day, usually starting at 9-30. Every single time I've gone there's been at most 20 other people there, sometimes as few as 5. For context I live in a city with 5 million people in it. I assume its busier on weekends, but I still have no idea how these theatres are surviving.
>>214253483>I go on weeknights, for the last show of the day, usually starting at 9-30.this is creepy
>>214247982>>214248956Are they really bright now? What the fuck and why?
>>214253854hello femanon
>>214253854
>>214247874My theater is still like that, no dystopian bullying for us
>cinema wants to charge $18 for a ticket AND $2 for an "online booking charge">wonders why nobody goes to the cinema anymore
>>214253483Wouldn't morning be pretty deserted as well?
i literally haven't been to the kinoplex since covid. prob a years before.
>>214247874The first time i saw a seating plan, i was already a man.Phone booth.Red dragonSawPhantom menaceAnaconda 2 ( that was a fuck up, i regret it deeply)And so many others.No seating plan.Then the dark times came.Captain americaViceOppenheimerThe dark knight.Seating plan.You can really tell the state of cinema when seating plan happened.Rubbish.
