I don't think drinking alcohol and eating dinner go well with watching a film at a cinema for me. I'd rather concentrate on the film and not cutting up my steak, and i'd rather be sober minded when watching a film than drinking. Each to their own I guess, but I lean towards watching a good film on my big lcd at home in my bed where it's quiet.
If going to a $35 dollar movie I would make sure it's a Long movie, like james bond's 2 hr 40 min. goodness das pricey
never run into these at home either
Is that the price of those AMC theaters? The one I described in Arlington is only $6.50 a ticket, the food's kind of expensive though and they only have one giant theater room instead of 14-16 like a regular theater so it could just be cost subsidization and simply less overhead to cover.Kimmmmmmmmmmmm wrote:

I've been a few times, tickets are pretty expensive at around $35 a person but it's definitely worth it for a special occasion like a birthday or treating a loved one, etc. They even do cocktails. The chairs are electronically reclined with independent switches for footrest and back, so you can recline just the way you like.Gold Class is the ultimate world of cinema luxury.
An intimate setting that seats no more than 30-40 people where guests can relax in reclining chairs and enjoy full waiter service as well as a brand new food & beverage menu.
big balla, shot calla, 20 inch rims on the impala
Only if you pick a shitty movie that you can't get absorbed into. Also, the food is finger food, not knives and plates lol. I take it you didn't read the menu I posted on the previous page that started this whole discussion.Jay wrote:

Your standard theatre (non-gold class) anywhere has a couple dozen people munching popcorn at any given moment, don't you hear all that too?
Last time I did gold class it was a Saturday night in Sydney CBD and there were only about 6 other people.

^pretty much this. I'd think 'gold class' would actually be more quiet than screaming-baby/toddler-wrapper-crinkle-madness you get in a standard full house audience. Me, I just hit them up early weekday mornings for movies with only maybe two-to-three other people in the audience.

The ones here don't have table service, just the usual snacks and a bar at the front counter where you'd normally find the burger distribution system.Jaekus wrote:

At the dine-in type theaters there are more employees walking around...... who should tell annoying people to shut it down
The table service at gold class is preordered and paid for before the movie starts. You basically get to choose by the half hour approx when the food/drinks come out, or just near the beginning, middle or toward the end.Dilbert_X wrote:

Decided to invite my parents to Life of Pi rather than go alone, so that's delayed for now. Instead, I saw:
Wreck-It Ralph - 8/10
Yeah, like 80% of my reviews give 7/10. Maybe that's because 80% of all movies I see are average. Wreck-It was above-average. It's so swimming in retro pop-culture that its audience seems pretty age-limited. People too old to think games are cool will scoff at it, and people too young won't get the old game references. Still, it was fun.

Shouldn't average be a 5?

Should... yes.
But people are all too willing to give 10s to mediocre work while too scared to give anything less then 4 to complete and utter dog trollop.

depends what average you use.Jay wrote:

Most films aren't tripe, so the modal average would be closer to a 7, but the medium average would be 5.
The Bourne Legacy
Wasnt as good as the previous three. Was kinda bored halfway through, too.
