red and blue slurpee. not a fan of popcorn

Popcorn, cherry Icee. If I'm with someone else, we'd sometimes get popcorn, icees and nachos to share.

>>15474941
>popcorn AND nachos

>>15474837
Nothing. I haven't been to a movie theater in at least 25 years

>>15474837
I like to bring in a little bag of pistachios and shell them throughout the movie.

>>15474978
I hope you leave the shells on the ground or throw them at other people during the movie.

There was a chocolate shop across from the theater when I was a kid and I'd always be allowed to get a chocolate to sneak into the theater.

I'll still occasionally bring chocolate in for nostalgia sake.

>>15474837
errything. But, been missing the bucket 'o popcorn. Press button on 'buttery topping' dispenser and don't let go until popcorn starts to float in bucket.

>>15474837
Halal snack pack from the kebab shop next door to the cinema. For non Australians, it's a bed of chips with doner kebab meat on top, layered with cheese and sauce
>enjoy 1500 calories worth of carbs, fats, and protein as the movie gets started
>sip on rum and coke afterwards during movie
Can't beat it

>>15475053
This is the only reason I have stepped in a movie theater in the past ten years.

>>15474837
Popcorn and Cherry Coke, nothing else compares.

>>15475073
Fuck why isn't this fatty shit all over america? That's how you know America has really failed we aren't the king of fast food anymore

>>15474837
Popcorn is my go-to, though an ex clued me into mixing in some Milk Duds for a nice blend of sweet, salty, chewy, and crunchy. Outside of mixing, Reese's Pieces are my favorite candy. Almost any drink is fine, but Cherry Coke is a standout.

>>15475073
Unironically based.

How are movie theaters still a thing? This should have died quickly along with Blockbuster.
Once HDTV and fast internet appeared, theaters are obsolete. Fucking bitches still need to get dragged out to a big hassle and waste of money so they can take selfies I guess. It would be way cheaper and more fun to home cook some lovely food, get high, cuddle and fuck in front of a 4K TV, but try telling a bitch that.
Bitch wants you to spent $12 on popcorn, because bitches will be bitches. How do we fix women?

>>15475232
theatres are definitely dying. it won't be long. the last time i went to the movies probably ~2 years ago. the movie was mediocre at best and there were like 7 people in the whole place. This was on the weekend. I always snuck in my own snacks and it still costs like $20 for a ticket now

>>15475232
>>15475260
I only go to the theaters once in a blue moon but it's the "fancy" asshole theater that has waiting service inside the movie room itself. I only go if it's a movie I REALLY want to, so I get an overpriced cocktail and calimari or something just to make it special.

Theaters are definitely a dying thing though, the pandemics shown streaming services are just as viable for new movies.

>>15475274
oh yeah I've been to one of those places. They mainly served pizza and beer. Was cool to try but the waitresses were fucking annoying while you're trying to watch the movie running back and forth from the kitchen. Shit is expensive.

>>15475274
Also I'd rather watch a movie on my own big TV and in my own recliner.

>>15475232
>Once HDTV and fast internet appeared, theaters are obsolete
don't underestimate the appeal of a big screen and speakers the size of a small truck.
IMAX especially.

>>15475319
I always wanted to play vidja on a huge fucking screen like that with the surround sound

>>15475322
Arino did that once

>>15475260
>theatres are definitely dying
They'll live as long as people need an easy date place. And "luxury" style places will become the norm as they are in other countries.

>>15475319
Provided you outfit your home theater correctly, visuals and sound are outstanding. Stop wasting money on annoying tourist traps and food marked up 40X, and you could afford some nice gear.
85" high quality 4K display, and 7.2 Atmos with some serious wattage, in an intimate home theater exceeds it by far.
Theaters are for the lower classes who cannot afford such things. Even though "such things" can now be had for under $5000. Hell, even $2000 these days can get you a respectable setup.

>>15475360
putting money away to do just this. my uncles always had great home theatre setups. You could hear metallica blasting from his basement from well outside the house. rattled the fucking windows.

>>15475360
>lmao just spend thousands and thousands of dollars bro
>literally just renovate your whole house to get a proper home theater setup that still is orders of magnitude smaller and shittier than IMAX kek

go to bed, mike stoklasa.

>>15475384
poorfag detected. Is you job at the movie theater looking like a poor life decision?

>>15475396
Leave the projection to IMAX k thx

>be 22-24 in first apartment after uni
>movie theater 5 blocks away and right across the street from the gym
>got stubs pass
>sometimes would go lift and bring a full meal in Tupperware, shower, cross the street for a matinee while eating a full home cooked meal in the theater
>sometimes would bring a pint of vodka, get a large soda cup and use those big flavor blending fountain machines to blend different kinds of mixed drinks, get smashed up and hop between different movies

>>15475416
You never got denied access for bringing in your own food? The theatre I frequented in the day would badger the shit out of anyone clearly bringing in food. I'd hide shit in my jacket. They wouldn't bother you once you were in the theatre and sat down, though.

>>15475414
Projection is the precise reason why IMAX still sucks a dick. Washed out and blurry focus, I will take an OLED where every pixel emits its own light over a low contrast, dim image with ambient light and niggers talking and eating like slobs. Its the experience you prefer, glad I dont have to sit next to you.

>>15474837
Just popcorn with butter. However, last year, I got a bag of Cookie Dough Bites, too.

>>15474942
Popcorn is just there bc it lasts the whole movie

>>15475053
what the fuck? is this an american thing?

>>15474962
Bro I miss movie theaters so much. I used to go to the dollar theater and tuesday night classics every week.

>>15474837
Personally I fill my pockets with about 6 spicy mcchickens and/or mcdoubles.

>>15474837
I was always a Popcorn guy and a Swedish Fish guy

>>15474942
Nothing better than cheap movie theater nachos. Brings me back to my high school days.

>>15476542
American here, have never seen this shit in my life. For the better, because if my theater had one, I'd be doing the same fucking thing

>>15475232
>why do something out of the ordinary? we have movies at home babe
Every guy who claims home dates are more fun ends up being basement dweller tier with a screen addiction. Get out of your comfort zone mate, it goes a long way in getting your dick wet. You can sit there for two hours with your hand on the tiddy can't you?

>>15474837
smuggled chips and malt liquor

I smuggle a mini burger in. Make some noise when my coke is near empty. Suck on lolipops and loudly crumble papers.
Why?
Fight me.

>>15476755
im going to barf

>>15476755
whats the advantage? i dont go to enough films to figure out whats going on there

>>15475229
>no kebab snack packs
>no british munch boxes/fryups
We just have to accept britain as our new overlards

>>15476755
>>15477040
It's literally melted butter. All theaters have this, whether they allow you to do it yourself or not. Movie theater popcorn is popped in a machine and topped with hot melted butter, that's why it's good.

>>15477070
Willing to bet that is NOT butter at all. Butter is an animal fat. Vegans can't eat the popcorn, also real butter is perishable, requires refrigeration, and is cost prohibitive.
What you are getting is some shitty vegetable or palm oil, probably partially hydrogenated, and loaded with artificial butter flavor.
Why would you think they use real butter? Are you really that stupid?

>need to stuff face while watching a movie
>People bragging about being loud niggers
I don't go to theaters that serve snacks anymore because of low class loud pig retards

>>15477096
Melted butter is melted butter, it doesn't matter if it's pure butter or not. The difference doesn't matter, may as well say McDonalds doesn't have real cheese. It's autistic.

>>15477070
I was meaning the fucking straw in the bucket you retard that's what the photo is about

>>15474837
For me, it's crab legs

>>15474837
alcohol

>>15477096
If it's a fancy place, then it's probably using clarified butter since it doesn't spoil quickly and doesn't melt the kernels since all the water content is removed, but it's most likely just "movie theater butter" like you said i.e. butter flavored oil. Either way you're topping your popcorn with pure oil but the only difference is that one is more processed than the other, nothing horrible provided you don't eat that shit daily.

>>15474837

most of the time mcdonalds, but i had options. fries beat popcorn as a theater snack btw

>theater in mall complex
>wear jacket with decent pockets
>go to food court
>buy any food that can handle some serious to-go travel
>fast food burgers/fries/etc, burritos/wraps work best
>no Chinese takeout where sauce or rice would leak from the shitty styrofoam boxes
>smuggle food in via pregnant belly approach
>get bottles for drinks, stuff in jacket pockets
>most places don't care about opaque refillable water bottles carried in
>if you are/bring along a chick, a bigger than average purse makes it that much easier

>>15477144
kek

why do people feel like they absolutely need to eat popcorn when watching a movie?

>>15477112
Somebody put a straw in their popcorn to take a funny may may photo, that's it.

>he doesn't mix cherry and blue raspberry icee together
imagine not being a proud american

>>15477112
It's so the butter will reach the bottom of the popcorn. You use the straw for a bit, then take it out and hit the top too.

>>15477070
Bought this combo on amazon and shit taste just like movie theater popcorn. The secret is flavacol. Pop it with coconut oil.

>>15474837
>going to theaters in 2021
i can literally just search up fbox and watch whatever i want for free

>>15474837

>>15476726
THIS. Give me a fat box of nachos, extra cheese, and extra jalapeños. Don't skimp on the jalapeño juice either. Fuck I think I know what I'm doing today.

>>15476769

2002, Count of Monte Cristo, empty theatre and fingers in the clam. Pulled out and got a handful of popcorn with a smile. Good times...

>>15475053
Anyone else buy the refillable popcorm tubs to just refill at the theater and then go home?

>>15478232

this
>w/ friend to see film few years ago at recently renovated theater
>shit is 99% sold out and kiosk outside makes you pick your seats
>uhh okay...
>wind up picking only two close together near the front
>screen is fucking 10 feet in front of us, packed together like bugs, can't even subtly drink smuggled bottled
>sit for like 2 minutes
>okay fuck this
>walk out, go to manager to get refund
>manager is like uhh yeah dunno why the fuck they redesigned this shit like this
>shake head and agree
>bottles slowly falling out of belt
>by time he actually gives us our money we're standing there like some dindus grabbing literally anything below our waist
>go home
>drink some
>go to different theater for same movie 2 hrs later
>barely anyone, comfy, drink and watch in peace

Several of my favorites:

>Personal Pan pizza from a local theater that I would get here and there.

>Huge ass pretzel from the Mall of America movie theater.

>Mix of cheese, caramel, and normal popcorn.

I finally moved to a place that had decent options and everything is fucked...

The snacks I enjoy in a theater are
1) booze I smuggled in
2) my fiancée’s toes
In that order.

>>15476787

wow, we are very impressed with how tuff you are, anon.

I tried the dick in popcorn thing when I took my niece to see Avatar 3D and its just made a mess and made me look bad in front of her. She got over it but it was a greasy stupid mess.

>>15475232
People like socialising outside their house because it stops them from going insane. Evidently it's too late for you

Do you just use microwaveable popcorn?

>>15474837
Popcorn. I miss movie theaters so much bros.... the darkness, the crunch of the popcorn, the surround sound...

>>15482094
Shut the fuck up retard

>>15482059

Dr pepper icee and medium popcorn

>>15474837
2 years ago went to the movies with my lady like the week after Christmas
We took some leftover tamales and snacked on those
Was pretty great

>>15474837
Large popcorn, buttered. Large soda. If you're giving a free refill, then I want it. If you're giving several free refills, I'll take all I can handle.

>>15482569

Nigger

I once snuck in some homemade muffins to an 11 am movie, was pretty comfy

>>15478232
Have to say many of my teenage sexual experiences happened in a fucking movie theatre. Sure, I went to Spider-Man 3, but I was making out with the girl the entire fucking time and have no idea about the plot of the movie. The dues in the row above us were laughing their asses off.

>>15477961
based I'll be purchasing this immediately
