during commercials at the movies
Peak capitalism: pay overpriced movie tickets and still have to endure commercials
I used to go to a movie theatre that made their own skits to play before a movie would start. They’d take public domain movies, yank about 3 minutes out of it and dub them with corny dialog.
Man… I miss that place. 10000% beats commercials and the same exact trailer design for every single movie preview.
Highly recommend you check out Be Kind, Rewind!
I remember one time we rushed to the movie theater to get in time. We were a bit late to the theater, but we knew there would be commercials, so that was ok.
What we didn’t know was that the commercials would go on for what felt like one hour. Just ridiculous. We could’ve grabbed a beer on the way and still not miss the movie.
Movies over 2h gotta have a halftime to go pee and buy more popcorn
There is plenty left on the floor in that picture
I love our little local indie cinema. Super comfy recliners, they don’t deliver your food until after it starts. And the food is fucking soooo good. We got huge (gotta be over 2 lbs) of nachos with chicken, pico, cheese, avocado, for $14. Between the two of us we couldn’t finish it.
Fuuuuuck I need to hunt another one down. We had one in a mall and concessions and tickets were cheap as hell. The mall was DEAD though, like 5 stores left even open anymore, so they closed too.
This is soooooo me.
Before The Movie 2
Return of the ads
Then you spend the rest of the movie with greasy, gritty fingers, an odd taste in your mouth, and a wayward kernel stuck between your teeth.
No thanks; I keep my popcorn eating to home movie watching, where I can pause to wash my hands, refill the snack tray, and floss my teeth if needed.
You don’t bring floss to the theater?
Or wet wipes?
Its OK though, youll have a whole cinema performance to distract you from your popcornless existence.
The popcorn exists solely to get you through the adverts.
IMAX is a fucking scam. I want a 30% refund for every IMAX ticket I’ve ever bought.
Every time I go on a date in the movies, I get the popcorn and cut a hole in the bottom so my penis can be in there for them to find as a surprise. This was especially exciting during those years when I was a woman.
Umm wtf?
So when you were a woman did you stick something through the hole to act as a penis analogue or what?
No I did literally nothing to alter my appearance besides wear women’s clothing. Still stayed at the women’s homeless shelter in Portland. I wasn’t even the only one with a beard, though mine was much more illustrious at three feet long.
Yeah, but what about second popcorn box?
Only if they offer a payment plan
Orrr…
Eat before watching the movie, eat after watching the movie.
If you still crave popcorn then buy after the interval cause climax will be the best place to not have snoring stomach.
What are you all doing watching ads in cinema xD
Either I am 20 minutes late or I don’t come. I refuse to be on time - I am here for a movie, not ad stream xD
