Beer at the movies??? You'd never get to see all of the movie! Bathroom breaks every 15 minutes!!

Pffft.... what kind of dictatorship do you have overthere ?

Overhere you CAN buy beer in cinema's and movietheaters. Good thing they do, otherwise they wouldn't see me there too often. Watching at a big screen for two hours WITHOUT beer is torture.

Well I have no problem with it. As long as people do not become rude and interfear with me watching my movie. I can barely afford to go there now. By the time I buy two tickets and popcorn and pop I am sitting at 40+ dollars. So If I pay this and have to listen to some jackass behind my puking on the floor that will suck.

You go to the theatre and get to relax with a nice cold one or two.. You can't turn into a raging drunk in a theatre unless yer maybe a five foot hundred pound person who smells a beer and pukes.. I'd like to have a cold beer when going to ROTK. Hell i'd like have a vodka and cranberry..

You may not, but that doesn't mean some igmo wont. Undoubtly some obnoxious guy will go soley to dampen others experince. Like someone else thread, those people that talk during the whole movie, I dont want to see them drunk while I am trying to enjoy a movie.

Maybe there should be a cap on how many you can consume? I dont think it said anything about that in the artical.

Or even better, if someone starts getting obnoxious, other people are free to 'escourt' him/her out of the building? Fair?

Iron_Ranger, if by escort you mean drag out back and beat with a crowbar, I'm all with you.

Sheesh guys, how hammered can you get from a few beers during a movie ? Aren't y'all a little overreacting here ? What are you doing in a cinema anyway.... watching the movie, or look around to see if you can see something that annoys you ?

Obnoxious ? How about the guy two rows in front of you, who's farting all the time ? Or the girl behind you who's picking her nose ?

Just watch the friggin movie... live and let live.

I think people tend to never look at the good side of things. I mean I have no problem with a guy kicking back with a sud or two.

So let me ask you then. Since you seem to have the most experience with this.

What should happend to the guy that is acting like a jerk. Because you know there is going to be some. What happens there johnny. How does one throw you out of the movie's in Holland.

How the hell do you know that someone behind you is picking there nose. LOL
And farting I have to agree that would suck. So I say kick him out too.

THey really shouldn't be selling alcholic beverages in movie theaters. FIrst off, if some people get piss @$$ drunk, they become jerks; loud obnoxious, just plain annoying. Then there is the violence factor, I guarentee you there will be tightened security because the drunk ppl will be starting all kinds of stuff. And then if a bunch of friends get drunk, who drives home?

Actually you can get really hammered watching a long movie. When the movie The Doors came out we snuck in 2 gallons of liquor. Yep we were f$%^ed up
