I went to the movies last night... You know longer stand outside in line ups that go around the block... no ,no now you purchase your ticket online.. Reserve your seat... they still have a lineup for the box office.. for those of us that like that sort of thing.. but now they have ATM booth where you can purchase your ticket and skip the line up.. personally I think that is a little bit like jumping ahead of the lineup.... and should be frowned upon.. .... so you buy your ticket you go get your overpriced popcorn that is no longer freshly made... and taste like little pieces of plastic.... they charge you extra for butter..wtf... would you like to upsize your popcorn and drink sir that will be extra as well... as I annoyingly look up at the menu bored.. and read one large popcorn 2 regular drinks one bag of candy $20 and some cents...omg.. and you have the nerve to charge me extra for butter.. and then ask me if I want to pay to upsize...grrrrr..... I take a handful of my popcorn it is stale.. as three day old bread... the pop is flat.. . Now I take my oversized drinks and oversized stale bag of popcorn... and go stand in line to enter the theater room...wtf.. Of course they charge extra for butter ... I mean ... who puts butter on popcorn??? ![]() And then you whinge the pop is flat? What ya expect if you stick butter on it? That's like moaning your chips is soggy after you put vinegar on it! ![]() You people are weird. Everyone knows you eat fries with mayonnaise and popcorn is sugared. ![]() ![]() ![]() Well, I meant that pop(corn), lol. Gross to put butter on it ![]() The mayonnaise ... I asked for that in a restaurant in Oz. The guy blushed to the roots of his hair. One of the most awkward moments of my life, because I didn't get why on earth he felt embarrassed? Next time I wanted mayo with my fries, I had my Canadian roommate ask for it ![]() She came back with a TEASPOON of mayo ![]() ![]() But yeah .. when in Rome ... but even in 'Rome' I still don't eat my fries with vinegar, puke! ... you got a true gift, No1, lol. Insulting and complimenting people at the same time. I not sure whether I now should say "Thank you!" or "FU!" ![]() |

When I was younger going to see a movie.. was an adventure.. it was exciting.... stand in the long line ups outside the movie house waiting and hoping and praying you make it to the ticket booth before they sold out... Checking out all the pretty girls in the lineup... making small talk as the line began to move..... heckling anybody that tried to cut in front of the line..lol.. Catching up on all the latest movie gossip... and on those cold days stamping your feet doing jumping jacks trying to keep warm...lol... Then you would get to the box office purchase your magic ticket... make a mad dash to find the best set.. then go get your freshly made popcorn.. Drink and candy....... loved going to the movies.. back then..yup.... but now days it has changed.. and not for the better.. would you agree? Yes Sir I agree with you 100% but I think it has to do with age and technology.Why wait in line when its going to be on disc in a few weeks, plus once you get in you need a cosigner to buy some popcorn and a few sodas.And well to be honest there is that I have to pee more now and can't stop the movie.I admit I do miss going to the movies when I was in my youth you either saw it there or had to wait a few years until it came on tv.Also the butter they put on the popcorn was real. |

I remember going to a few movies that were real busy, I guess we went when it first came out in theatre. Funny how these memories suddenly come back now, had totally forgotten about them!
Indeed the queue, not just for the ticket, but also halfway through the movie to get A)to the bog before everyone else did and B)to get a soft drink and snickers or crisps before the counter was crammed with like 100 people. Never a queue there, nor decency, so it was the ones with the biggest mouth and loudest voice that got served first. (I so hate that kind of chit). Then take your bottle of Coke into the theatre (was still allowed back then) and when it was empty you put it flat on the floor so it rolled all the way down to the first row ![]() ![]() ![]() |
