>>220918250>Elijah WoodLove this lil nigga like you wouldn't believe
>>220918250>multimillionaire doesnt care if the cost of going to see a movie doublesHow down to earth and relatable Mister Wood is.
>>220918250Who the fuck orders food during the movie? It feels like all the people who work in movies actually hate movies.
>>220918250Bought by Sony and everything gets worse. It's happened too many times.
>>220918306When will you wear wigs?
>>220918333I usually hit up the concession stand a couple times during a long movie if I'm out of food
>>220918333>food C'mon man get it together and figure it out already.
>>220918306why would they double?
That’s why I prefer Nitehawk
>>220918250If I was an out of work Hollywood millionaire actor I would absolutely use all my free time to fuck with companies over minor grievances.(Going to Alamo Drafthouse at all is retarded though.)
>>220918250>Elijah Wood SLAMS Alamo Drafthouse's new QR codeHe just needs to share the code
>>220918375Pick a euphemism
How much more expensive is it to just print some menues? Just laminate some office paper and put some clip art on it.
>>220918441Spoken like someone who considers their snack run a major success when they don't break down and cry when they were out of the triple fudge twinkies.
I don't get it personally, I don't want to watch a movie in a restaurant
>>220918250Movies restaurants are shit. How could we have known?
>>220918356How do you need to eat multiple times in 3 hours? No wonder Americans are so fat.
>>220918514some of us are not fat but rich and when we want stale pretzel nuggets and lukewarm cheese product dip we pay $20 for it to be delivered in 17 minutes.
>>220918306I’ve never been to Alamo drafthouse and never will. It’s marketed as a premium experience. You pay more for the best movie experience possible. Calling them out for cutting corners is completely reasonable
>>220918560Based
I had no idea this was a restaurant where the movie is an afterthought. I always thought it was some cinema chain for cinephiles.
>>220918333The people who show up 15 after the movie starts
>>220918250>WHEN ASKED FOR A FOLLOW-UP COMMENT Elijah replied:>gllmmmmph glmppphhh>as he continued slobbering on his date's knob
>>220918333Its literally part of why people go to Alamo chud
>>220918250Lil nigga definitely has a home theater and private chef. Rich people need to understand they don't live in the same world as us peons and therefore should not complain about shit like this
>>220918653Why have a twitter account at all if not to impress the local talent you just ordered.
>>220918306>he thinks the cost savings of the automated system will be passed onto the consumer
elijah seems basedhis star wars tweet about glup shitto where he said>No. How could we have known?still makes me laugh>>220918680this makes no sensehe's saying it is a ripoffripoffs affect poor people more than rich people
>>220918250What makes him so based?
>>220918753>>220918742Celeb worshipers are so disgusting.
>>220918790appreciating that an actor isn't an actual homosexual and clowns on kike nonsense isn't worshipping themalso that other anon didn't say anything about celebrities lmaoyou're retarded
>>220918790Sony shill.
>>220918250he should just watch films on an OLED TV in the comfort of his own home
>>220918356>hit upare you a nigger? why do you talk like one?
>>220918790
>>220918250I don't want your autograph, phony
>>220918817>isn't an actual homosexualheh.heh heh.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAA!!
>>220918975>trying this hard
>>220918975He's not gay (no matter how much you want him to be, fag)
>>220918975his wife is hothe has 2 kidsyou're a faggot and are defending alamo drafthouse and disney star wars ittkwab
>>220918790Anyone shilling for QR codes is as cancerous to society as a celebrity shillShould be illegal as fuck to EVER deny physical legal tender.
I've never been to Alamo Drafthouse because the only one in SoCal is in Downtown LA. You couldn't pay me to willfully go to Downtown LA.
>>220918333Yeah, you're supposed to save your appetite for after the movie when you hit up a late night joint and discuss the movie with your date or friends
>>220919177Is it one of those theaters where you sit on lounge chairs and they serve food like a restaurant?
>>220918250>needs to order food and drinks "during a film"what a fag
the last time I went to alamo a the dude next to me kept scraping the bottom of the wooden bowl used for his kale salad with a fork, i damn near lost my mind but kept composed so i wouldnt get arrested however i will never go back to alamo
>>220918356You don't care about missing a few minutes of the movie? What if there's a really important or cool scene while you're buying popcorn?Even if you don't really miss anything, doesn't it fuck up the vibe and tension and pace and your sense of immersion?
>>220918250Based Frodo. He never misses.
>>220918783Ring bearers get a permanent CHR buff.
Theaturants all suck. The food is all preportioned frozen sysco slop and yeah drinking beer during a movie sounds awesome until you have to get up and go up to the projector room and ask them to pause the movie while you rock a piss. Half the time the projectionist is an asshole and won’t give you more than one pee break so then you have to ask the guy in the seat next to you for the QRD on the last four minutes.
>>220919177That's the only Alamo location I've been to, maybe 3 or 4 times total since whenever they opened. Main reason I go to that one even is it's literally at the subway stop, just go upstairs from the train and you're at the theater. Sometimes I've ordered food (getting refills on drinks is a pain in the ass btw), sometimes I don't at Alamo. I've never been to one of their "movie parties" or whatever they're called but I do like that they have themes for older movies (which is all I ever watch there desu).
>>220918250He should eat less, disgusting fat fuck.
>>220918250You know what else he slammed? Hes based af.
>>220918250He's right you know.>phone brightness as low as possible to not bother anyone >have to scroll down for 3 ft to see the whole menu rather than getting all the info at a glance on a piece of paper>have to tap through multiple screens to finalize the order, pull out your credit card, try to read the numbers in the dark to enter your payment info>miss 20 minutes of the movie trying to do all this bullshit>order gets delivered to the people next to you because you scanned the wrong QR code, so you have to sort it out with them and make them miss the movie tooI went for the first time a couple months ago and I'm never going back.
>>220919186Oldfag here. Me and a carload of friends went on like a triple date to see Jacob’s Ladder. I was dating this really sweet girl that was basically as smart as a really high-functioning German Shepherd (cute as hell, too), and the movie knocked all of us for a loop, so much so that we walked out to the car in silence, just sort of pondering what we’d just seen. We stopped at a Taco Bell and were already deep into discussing the movie when my girlfriend, who’d been silent since we left the theater, suddenly blurted out, “OH MY GOD! HE WAS LIKE DYING THE WHOLE TIME!”It remains one of my favorite movie experiences.
>>220918250I really don't get the point of QR code ordering. Let me just tell you what I want and I'll give you money>le save moneyfuck you
>>220919495>jacob's ladder in theaters>taco bell 69 cent tacosgood timesshould've married the simple cutie
>have to tell my phone what to do instead of ordering the creepy little theater goblins aroundBoo!
>>220919543I just couldn’t do it, man. I’m technically a genius, and even as a kid right out of high school, I could envision what our marriage would be like and how it would slowly drive us apart. I honestly did love her, just enough that I couldn’t subject her to decades of confusion over why I seemed so unhappy. It all worked out, though. She ended up marrying one of my buddies and I married a cutie I met at college.
>>220919736that's cool, i guesskind of homosexual to need your woman to be intelligent, though
>>220919186This. Me and my friends use to go to this pizza restaurant after every movie. Good times…
>>220919186i feel like this is something every oldfag did, but i don't think zoomers do thishope i'm wrong, for their sake
>>220919736>I’m technically a genius
>>220918333Every single time I eat anything other than popcorn at movies it fucking sucks. Got ketchup on my shirt from a burger during a movie and one time I got tendies at a fancy "VIP" theater and instead of just having dipping sauce they slathered the sauce all over the tendies themselves which is retarded to begin with but even worse when you're eating them in the dark.
Based non-wig-wearer
>>220919765You ever seen Close Encounters of the Third Kind? She was a bit like Teri Garr’s character in that. A smart wife who’s content to stay at home, read her books, play her piano, and help raise the kids properly is the way to go if you can swing it. We’re a team instead of it feeling like I’m raising 4 kids. >>220919863Oh, I’m not bragging. It’s just bald fact. I *needed* a smart wife to give me direction, to make me focus in on something, otherwise I’d have spun my wheels forever, chasing one interest after another. My parents were no help at all, wonderful people that they otherwise are. Do you know how useless it is to ask someone who enjoys learning more than anything else what it is they want to do with their life? How do you decide what you want to do when you like everything and exhibit the same aptitude for anything you try? I found it sort of paralyzing.
>>220920240Holy shut up, nobody cares you dolt, you type like a fag and your blog sunks dink
>>220920240>How do you decide what you want to do when you like everything and exhibit the same aptitude for anything you try?i never did find out and am now a loser oldfag>>220920630you dont have to read his posts, anonyou seem angry
>>220919765>t. subhuman cattle
>>220919980Yep, popcorn and soda for me are standards if I get anything from the snack bar. One of the few times I've been to Alamo I tried their smash burger and fries. Not bad, but overpriced (of course) and hard to eat a burger in the dark. IIRC, they only do popcorn in huge servings meant for more than one person (which I am not) so ... fuck them.
>QR code/touch screen screen ordering>Self service checkoutsAny other examples of cutting staff and telling the customer it's for their benefit?
>>220921425t. too retarded to know how greentext works
BASED QR ordering system, giving me an excuse to pull out my phone every 10 minutes so I can get my fixx of IR BBC cuckporn and hoodfood recipes
>>220921463Hard to find these days any businesses that don't replace human workers with technology, from Amazon's fulfillment robots to Waymo's driverless taxis.
going to the movies hasn't been worth it in a very long time but if you do go bring your girlfriend of a female friend with one of those huge purses and stuff it with shit. you can fit a whole bottle of liquor and every snack imaginable in those. the concession stands are a worse rip off than the movie tickets
>>220918250>he doesn't finish all his concessions before the trailers end
>>220921873I wish they would disclose how long the trailers and ads are. I try to wait to get my popcorn so it isn't getting cold during the trailers, but it feels like no matter what I do, I either wind up having to sit through like 10 minutes of them, or I walk in and the movie's already started
>>220921873who eats an entire pizza in under 4 min?
>>220918333they should bring back intermissions
Food and beverage smugglers stay winning!Suck it cinema purchase cucks!
>>220918276>prefers to interact with human beings>autism
>>220918250>QR code ordering systemLiterally nobody wants this and it is of zero benefit to the business, why is it still in use?
>>220922264>stillWhat do you mean "still" as if it's somehow going away? It's getting more widespread if anything.
>>220922264>is of zero benefit to the business,Not true, they can hire less young people
>>220918250I've never seen a post by this guy that I didn't wholeheartedly agree with. How does he do it?
>>220922068This. I am a grown man with the bladder of a toddler and I need a piss break.
>>220922068I really only see classic films in theaters (I'm lucky to live in a place with multiple independent theaters that show classic films), it wasn't until the roadshow formats of the 1950s where movies got long enough to need intermissions (pic is a notable exception). I'm ok with movies up to 2 hour runtimes without a break but yeah, it would be impossible to sit through all of Seven Samurai or Lawrence of Arabia without a break.
>>220918250Problem, Mr. Frodo?
I would never eat at a movie theatre and I look down on people who do. Usually because they're further down in the theatre.
>americans can't make it through a 90 minute movie without ordering soda and second dinner
>>220922068With some of the recent super long films when theatres have tried doing intermissions the directors have thrown tantrums over it.
>hire people and have physical menus you fucking jewsholy based
>>220923114I don't know what I was expecting.
>>220918306alamo drafthouse has like a $15/month plan with unlimited movies and popcorn
>>220919362>The food is all preportioned frozen sysco slopbetween that and restaurant depot, that’s every where pal
>>220918783Yeah, kinda seems like the sort of thing that they should have put in the fucking movie instead of the bullshit we got
I hate QR codes because they bring back memories of when online Flash/shockwave/java games had errors
>>220918333Who the fuck orders food on their phone?
>>220924211
QR codes are a shitty anti-consumer technology that allow companies to change their prices to whatever they want. Always ask for a physical menu. Always say you forgot your phone at home.
>>220924272Uh, that's actually the subject of the whole thread, anon. Alamo Drafthouse's ordering method requires use of your phone rather than filling out a paper order slip like they used to do.
>>220923825I refuse to believe this. Regal Unlimited is like, $28 and they give you a big 10% off concessions.
>>220923825>>220924498I don't see enough first run movies to join one of these loyalty programs. I do belong to a couple of theater groups' that offer membership for classic films and my ticket discounts are enough to buy snacks and still come out even.
