Dude has a point though. In cinemas in the Netherlands you can just buy big ass beer bottles anyway so what's the bfd

[-] virku@lemmy.world 85 points 2 years ago

Having a large beer vs getting very drunk on liquor is quite different, no?

[-] fruitSnackSupreme@lemmy.world 54 points 2 years ago

Not when you're a lightweight like me!

The Americans and their Puritan BS.

[-] ramble81@lemm.ee 52 points 2 years ago

We have movie theaters here in the US that let you buy and drink alcohol too.

[-] CptEnder@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

Alamo Drafthouse is the superior movie watching experience. Also if that dad talked to you like OP, you could get him kicked out!

[-] fidodo@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

They even have a bar at AMC now too. It's gone mainstream

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I am not generally a movie goer. I prefer watching at home where I control the temperature, food, volume, company, and amount of floor stickiness.

That being said, my friends drug me to the Alamo Drafthouse a couple of years ago to catch a movie and I LOVE that place. It's comfortable, the food is edible (not great, but not gross), and I can get completely schnookered while watching their throwback movies or the graveyard shift.

So now I actually hit the theater from time to time.

[-] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 3 points 2 years ago

yeah, I just hate when the floor isn't sticky enough!

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

It ain't a real movie theater unless I'm in danger of losing a shoe.

[-] ieatpillowtags@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

I won’t even watch a movie out anymore if I can’t have a beer or three in the theater :p

[-] Kase@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Yours might be the best (and/or most concerning) username I've encountered here so far :)

[-] Microw@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years ago

Since allegedly the whole cinema was full of "parents and children", it clearly was a afternoon screening.

Like, just go to a late screening if you want to drink?

[-] frostysauce@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Don't tell me when to drink in public.

[-] Zozano@lemy.lol 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

dude has a point

Damn straight

it's about alcohol

Ha ha, yeah

[-] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Same in California theaters and some in Arizona that I can confirm, probably all over the US tbh.

Proof of this greentext being fake and OP was paying more attention to the dad than the movie, proof of OP being gay.

Probably was just mad he was't sharing. Why else would he sit next to him?

[-] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

quick wristy?

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 57 points 2 years ago

That last sentence. What the fuck.

[-] reev@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 years ago

I agree. Is in not universally accepted that Nick is clearly the hottest?

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 years ago

It's called a "punchline".

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 4 points 2 years ago

I’m so used to greentexts being sincerely pathetic that it flew right past me. My bad!

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago

I thought that was the most reasonable part...

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Are you new to the internet? Should we tell you about rule 34?

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

"I will not turn into a snake. It never helps."

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It’s possible to know about something for years and still be freaked out when it shows up.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

It's also always possible to be part of the lucky 10,000. Feel free to ask if you want to learn more about Rule 34 or goatse, I'm sure someone will be along shortly with some educational material. :)

No matter one's views on drinking at a cinema...

The dad's an idiot. How the fuck are kids going to realize that's booze in a dark theatre, especially if their dad is between them? He ruined the experience for his kids by constantly drawing attention and letting the kids realize something was up, not Drunky Anon

[-] qevlarr@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago

Land of the free

Can't drink in the cinema

[-] someguy3@lemmy.ca 28 points 2 years ago

That was a good read.

[-] Kyatto@leminal.space 20 points 2 years ago

In fairness I did watch a movie in a disney cinema once that actually had a bar, drinking my long island iced tea during the movie was a great experience.

[-] Maeve@kbin.social 18 points 2 years ago

After the "Quiet on Set" drop, and Nickelodeon not being nearly as wealthy, anon probably has a good point about Jessica Rabbit.

[-] 33550336@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

I agree with the parent. Alcohol shouldn't be normalized as other drugs and the anon is probably an alcoholic -- who else drinks in a cinema on a Disney movie?

[-] olutukko@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Yeah because it's good idea to just pretend like no one has any problems in life if it's front of the precious children. I will drink in the damn movie theater

They sell alcohol in the theaters here, so as long as your old enough you can drink in any film showing

[-] mriormro@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Shut the fuck up and mind your own damn business if no one's being belligerent.

Im just gonna hope theres different world cultures clashing here because doing this in the US or Canada WOULD be a dick move. Drinking in ANY theater if it wasnt catered to that is rude enough as it is here, but doing at a kids movie is particularly egregious .

Edit: Lmao, right, I'm on greentext, that explains a lot

[-] Parellius@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago

What? Why is it an issue to drink anywhere so long as you're keeping yourself to yourself and not causing an issue? America, land of the free....

[-] scoobford@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago

Well it is literally illegal most places, although most people don't care enough to enforce that rigidly.

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 years ago

Apparently this prudishness around liquor consumption is uniquely north american

[-] ziixe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago

Yeah, in eastern Europe (or at least when I grew up, which was after the communist regime btw) it was kind of normal to give beer (idk if anyone was doing something harder but if they were stupid enough then maybe) to your kid to shut them up, I know bad parenting and it definitely fucked me up for life, but it sure is normal when I look at the state of this country I live in

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Unless you are being belligerent, I don't give a shit what you're drinking.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
