Going to the movies

[vraiblonde]

Arrggh! There are several movies coming out that I want to see. My local movie theater is pretty cool, BUT they won't pause the movie when I need to pee or get a drink refill. They also won't back up and let me see a scene again.

I find this completely unreasonable.

So whatever, I'll wait until they come out streaming.

I can't wear my pjs and snuggle with my dogs and blanket.

More comfortable at home.

Haven't been to a theater in over 20 years. Don't miss it at all. I did notice a change in the movies available on rental DVD during/after the pandemic. A major movie was available at Redbox a few months after release. All of a sudden, they were no longer being released to DVD, and went to paid streaming service instead.

I really want to go see Beetlejuice, but the cost is prohibitive.

Last time I went to the movies was to take my grandkids to see "All Dogs Go to Heaven" late 80s or early 90s..

For me, it was sometime in the early 2000s, to see the movie Eight Below.

See if your theater has a discounted price day. Movies usually have to be out 2-3 weeks until available for discounts.

Matinees are usually less expensive. I saw Betelgeuse on opening day. It was GREAT!

Snacks?

I want to say that was another $ 20 for the bucket of pop corn and 10 for a 32 oz soda

Betcha your pocketbook is full of buttered popcorn.

Nope. I usually eat something first, if I'm hungry.

 

[stgislander]

Why bother going to the theater if not for the hot buttered popcorn.

 

[Gilligan]

Been many years since I've been to a movie theater...15--20 years?

First thing I think of when movies are mentioned, hot buttered popcorn and juju beads

Well, it was Debbie Does Dallas and after the scene you caused, I'm not surprised.
