You said some theaters don’t allow you in to the concession stand without having a ticket. I guess there are some that would do that.
Is it possible for you to buy your ticket ahead of time, say before dinner or some such, and then when you go back for the actual movie the only line you have to stand in is the concession stand line? That way you could at least be standing together in the one line you’ll have to be in.
Not sure if that’s feasible or helps at all or not.
Virgin Cinemas in the UK used to (and maybe still do)give you extra-big, comfy seats and waitress service at your seat including alcohol. For this, you paid an extra ten pounds (plus the cost of whatever you ordered).
Personally, I resent paying a whole five pounds for the ticket in the first place!
I used to content myself with renting, but now Blockbuster charges £3.75 for premium overnight movies! Is this just another case of “rip-off UK” or are they up to this elsewhere?
I heard that Blockbuster in the US whould edit NC-17 (like an 18 in the UK)movies so that they are only an “R”. Is this true? (sorry to divert from the OP, but since I posted the OP, screw it, right?)
A prime example: Natural Born Killers, A Cat In The Brain, I Spit On Your Grave, The Last House On The Left, The Driller Killer, Cannibal Holocaust etc…)
To answer your question, I have seen the unrated version of American Pie in Blockbuster before. I didn’t rent it because I had already seen it. When I get some free time and extra money on hand I think I’ll check it out.
God DAMN I could write this rant after every trip to the movies. I mean, FUCKING COME ON. Every single person in line has a movie to get to, a movie with a definite start time. I loathe it when the concession workers are strolling around back there like it’s a walk in the park instead of a service job. MOVE YOUR ASS! I’ve got a movie to see! Or why the hell don’t you assign a few people to fill drinks and popcorn, assembly-line style? Just grab the appropriate thing and ring it up as ordered.
And out local movieplex also has extra concession counters off in the wings. I have NEVER seen them open, not in five years of patronage. Why not rip them out and put in a crying room or another theater or something! Christ I feel like they are mocking me, when the theatre is packed and I’ve just waited in the popcorn line from hell and then I stroll by the perfectly-appointed but dark and empty concession stands.
I thought it was RainbowDragon.
