Going to the movies just isn't the same

[Sad Max]

they recap for you so they can redrill their product into your brain with the deep-voiced asshole narrator.

Don't take it out on Don LaFontaine.

It's not his fault.

Don't take it out on Don LaFontaine.

It's not his fault.

Maybe if Don lowered his hourly rate we could lower ticket prices.
He probably voices enough trailers to have an impact

Hey, if you're not part of the solution.....

Don's rates *are* flexible.

He's doing my answering machine message, next week.

If he has the time, he'll do it.

I mean... they expect you not to sneak in a drink and snack when their prices are simply outrageous! Who are they kidding?

Oh yeah, you gotta sneak in a full meal from Wendy's or whatever....just out of spite. Those money-grubbin' *&$#@'s!

It's too bad you don't live in Saint Louis. I saw Iron Man on Saturday night at the Moolah Theater downtown.

Walked up to the bar and grabbed a draft coffee stout:

Then wandered into the theater to pick a leather sofa, set my beer down on my personal end-table, and enjoyed the show with enough leg-room to stretch out completely.

This is Saint Louis' best kept secret, but I have no freakin' idea WHY?

Oh yeah... I don't think there was more then one commercial... if that... I don't remember any... then again that might be the fault of the beer.

 

[Zander]

I've heard of that place. Looks amazing!

 

[spidey]

commercial dont bother me... american propaganda does. do you know how many times i saw the 3 Doors Down army reserve thing.... That shouldnt be allowed.

 

[Sad Max]

Recruiters are advertisers, like anyone else.

They should *all* be banned...

 

[spidey]

but some commericals are good love the sprite and coke ones good directors start out there. but the 3 doors down thing is so bad horrible video and lol the model shots in it make me giggle like a girl.

See thats a fantastic idea for a theater. Being able to have a drink and catch a movie, wicked. How busy does that place get?

The ArcLight theaters in LA are like that, too.

Depending upon the director, sometimes a couple shots of liquid courage before the screening, are just what I need...

The "Magnolia" here in Dallas often runs a special: a free bottle of wine with the purchase of two adult tickets... and you just take it into the theatre.

 

[Luis Caffesse]

That's been the key to the Alamo Drafthouse theaters making money hand over fist here in Austin.
Actually, it's not just the alcohol and the food, it's the whole package - they've really made it an experience to go to the theater again.

 

[alveraz]

Commercials are played during the time you would normally sit there and stare at a red curtain. I don't know what the big deal is here, unless you feel your ability to fight back the urge to consume is so overwhelming it's affecting your health.

Whatever.

 

[jeremytuttle]

I don't pesonally mind the commercials so much as long as the stop when the movie is scheduled to begin. Sometimes this is not that case and it does frustrate me because it gives me another reason to just stay home and watch a movie in peace without a buzzy speaker, crying babies, immature preteens that for some reason go to what ever movie happens to be out and either complain about the movie the whole time to there friends, talk about everything but the movie, or point an f-ing laser at the screen like it's the funniest thing in the world and no one has thought about it before. That is what makes me rather stay home and watch a TV that I know won't be "a little" too dark, listen to a sound system that doesn't have a buzzing speaker, and not get that back of my chair kicked by some ten year old that is, for some reason, at an R Rated movie [/Rant]

 

[David Jimerson]

That's why I rarely go, and when I do, it's usually the first matinee on a Wednesday.

Yes! I HATE that ad. It combines everything I hate in one package: commercials, recruitment ads, and 3 Doors Down. They're just so...bland. I HATE that song they play in the ad.

 

[adkimery]

Yes and no. I actually don't mind the ticket pricing. Yes, it's quite high but I'm willing to pay it for certain movies.

What kills me is the price of the food/snacks on top of the ticket prices. It's robbery, plain and simple. We all know how much popcorn and pop costs. W also know how much profit they make from it. It's ridiculous.

Theaters have to do something to generate a profit (and selling tickets isn't it). If you don't like the prices don't buy it (not like there's a two tub of cola minimum or anything) and if you can't go 2hrs w/o it make sure your wife has a big purse.
