Oh we are gonna have words about this.

Cinemas around here just don't care if you bring anything in. You can even bring in entire shopping bags full of snacks and as long as you don't make too much noise you're in the clear.

Went to a local theater where Something Rotten was being put on. The theater manager came out right before curtain and gave the cell phone spiel followed by "If you have any snacks, please open them now. No, I'm serious, do it now before the performance."

Aus cinemas mostly gave up, now they really push fancy popcorn flavours you can't really find in stores. Or if you were unprepared and have to buy Snacks of Shame.

HOLD ON GUYS I'M POSTING ABOUT INTERNET ROBOTS
I think there was some sort of legal challenge to the rights of cinemas to restrict outside food here in the UK so now you can just walk in waving bags of snacks at the staff and they just leave you be.

I made it most of the way through a bottle of Jim Beam emptied into a large Coke from the concessions before falling asleep during the piece of poo poo that was Rogue One. My cow-orkers left me there to be shaken awake by cinema staff trying to clean out before the next showing. I've never felt like such an rear end in a top hat before or since.

I walked into the theatre, there were maybe twenty or so folks there, most of them wearing battle jackets and the like. A group of four dudes were sitting in the chairs right by the door, and immediately hit me with a group "Hail satan." I replied "Hail satan." and one of the dudes responded "gently caress yeah, want a beer?" and opens a cooler full of Natty Boh. It was loving dope.

incredibly blessed.

That is exactly how it gets you, you're hanging out with some Chinese guys and one of them's all "Let's have a drink!" but you've been down this road before and remember it was terrible, but not why it was terrible. So they pass the bottle around and you pour yourself a shot thinking "this can't be too bad, my colleagues from China are still upright after a shot". Then you drink it, and all hell breaks loose.

Baijiu is insanely bad, I once drank foaming purell hand sanitizer because I was bored and it tasted very close to how Baijiu tastes. The spot where I discovered the various Baijius at had some decent cocktails that played to its strong points that weren't terrible though, kinda like how most Gins are awful on their own, but can be delicious in cocktails.

Actually one of those 3 times were some Baijiu cocktails and that time it's the memory had the variation of "oh my god they added so much mixer to this and it still tastes like a joke being played on humanity"

Movie theaters ban outside food and drink because tickets are so cheap that concessions are how they make most of their money unless they're a huge chain like AMC selling out blockbusters constantly. Unless you're being disruptive about it or obviously smuggling in something like bottles of booze, nobody will actually care to stop you.

What are the differences in the 3 tickets?

And goddamn. I know they're 1 to 1 right now, but IMAX matinee here is only like 14 bucks. Regular screen is like 10.

And then 2 drinks and a popcorn is $30.

As far as movie tickets go, if you go a lot and have a Regal nearby, I've been pretty happy with Regal Unlimited so far. A friend and I go prettymuch every week and it's cut our ticket spending dramatically. Our theater is a $21 a month one, but the plan pays for itself after two showings at the usual $14/ticket. Doesn't work on events like Fathom anniversary showings and there's a small upcharge for IMAX or 3D, but it's pretty solid. It's also got a useful feature with how you can add friends with Unlimited and book your seats together.

I begrudgingly signed up for A List because seeing a movie at AMC here is like $19 on opening weekend, so for $22 a month it's pretty easy to make it worthwhile. And it's got me going to the theater more often and giving things I wouldn't normally watch a chance.

I think it's stupid too and have always just snuck in snacks, but at the same time I wouldn't think a pub was stupid if they banned people from bringing their own food and it kind of seems like the same situation.

I've been kicking around regal unlimited because unlike Cinemark's it's good. But I read regal declared bankruptcy the other day so I'm going to wait and see how that pans out
