**that was my point…
why can’t movie theaters have lounge seating (booths, couches, comfy armchairs), and serve alcohol, and bar food (hot wings, fries, potato skins, etc) while you watch the movie…
I might even pay to go see a movie, and not complain about the noise, if the theater was more like a comfy bar…
but nooooooooooo, we have to sit in rows, and absolutely NO ALCOHOL.

There is a place a little south of my house that is the same way. No one under the age of 21 is allowed. They show first run movies, and have the leather “executive” style chairs. There is ample room between the seats, and a counter in front of every row for you to set your food/drink on. Towards the front there are little round tables for groups. I went to see “Pirates” there. The Waiter/Waitress comes to your table takes your order and brings it back. =) They had mosty bar type food, no gourmet meals, but the food was good. =) The noise factor was pretty good, I was surprised. It was less then when I go to the regular show down the street. The best part was that the price was cheeper than a ticket to the AMC down the street from my house. Plus as far as bars go it was not too pricey.
If it was not an hour from my house I would probably go there more often. =)
My point exactly. we need more of those types of theaters…
The profit margin on alcohol is outrageous, plus you employ waiters/waitresses, cooks, dishwashers, etc. for almost no cost to the theater (sad, but true)…
so you still get $50 out of a couple, but the couple has had a couple drinks, some hot wings, and a good time…
then again, I also think there should be “smoking only” and “no babies” flights on airlines as well…
Ohhh, I travel quite a bit, and “no babies, and screaming kids” flights would be great!!! If I could get that I may be less inclined to want to smoke on the flight.
I feel your pain, Sintax The worst experience I had was Happy Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (or the Philophers, who cares), and not only because the movie was bad.
All I could hear was “It’s Dumbledore! It’s Dumbledore!” “Oh, looks, it’s Hagrid, he’s so funny!” “Ahh!! And here comes Harry!” Yeah, I know it’s Harry, dude. Who do you think you are? Albert Einstein? He’s got a ****ing scar on the forehead, even my dog could recognize him!

**Dude, ummm doing that in your house would defeat the whole voyerism thing.
I dont think you get it :sure: **
Well, see … there’s the illusion that you’re in the theater, so it would still add to the excitement factor, but still comfortable enough for you too get your groove on.
Personally, I would never eat a baby, they don’t taste good.
To be quite honest I have the temper that can go from 0 to pissed in 0.2 seconds quite litterally. Anytime I get pissed off, one of the first thoughts to enter my head is my bruttaly mauling them with a baseball bat or me shoving a crow bar into their head (and out the other side), or me kung-fuing their ***, or me blowing them up with 6 packs of C4. Etc…
Brotha Lynch Hung - Return of the Baby Killer You ain’t even seen me in my prime
Eatin’ baby brains, baby veins, baby spines
I know they be cryin’ when I’m cuttin’ off the neck
I’m peelin’ off the skin for some bacon-fried croquettes
Baby villain spine, that baby-killin’ mind
A fifth-pound of gin cause I know I’m doin’ time
So catch me now before I do my next crime
My kids’ gotta eat, somebody’s baby’s on the line
well fez, when you think about it, the baby is crying, causing you bother. You eat the baby, it stops crying, no problem! well, the parents might b!tch, but you can just punt them accross the theatre, or plant an incindiary device in their car.
