i never really pondered it, but it doesn't seem obvious to me
about bangkok dangerous. i've seen the trailer, and i'm a bit afraid that it's going to show only one aspect of the city
the same aspect that many people see (or often go there for) when going where the guide book tells them to go, and then go back believing they know what thailand is about
AmorRoark said:^ stein is going to love you for saying that. You GOTTA pick up some Sour Patch Kids before you hit the theater. Bringing a can of soda is always fun too. Trying to discreetly open the can in the theater. Hahaha.
I'll bet you were the hall monitor in school. If you ever tried to put your grubby hands on my clandestine candy, you would have been rolling in the aisles.ego_loss said:I used to take great joy in confiscating people's contraband candy when I ran a theatre. But nothing aggravated me more than when people would try to smuggle in fast food. It's one thing to bring in candy and soda, but when a motherfucker starts chowing down on a quarter pounder with extra onions, it's going to stink up the whole auditorium. Not to mention they would almost always drop half their fries on the floor and proceed to mash them into the ground.
As much as I loved that job, it really made me hate human beings even more than I already did.

AmorRoark said:^ You can't blame people for bringing candy into a theater that's charing 9.50 for a fucking Snickers. Ok, that might be an over-estimate but seriously... AMC already got my 12 $ at the door.

No they didn't. The studios got your $12. AMC, and all the other exhibitors only get a small percentage of the actual ticket price.
Concessions are expensive, yes, but that is seriously the only place the theatre makes any profit.
It was rarely ever myself that actually did the confiscating. We paid the local police to moonlight for us. Any time we had a problem we'd just tell the uniformed officer that was stationed in the building and he'd take care of it.
We generally operated with this basic guideline: If you are obviously bringing contraband into the auditorium, we'd either confiscate it or refuse you entry. However, if you could get it into the auditorium without us knowing about it before the lights go down... more power to you. This policy applied to everyone. Even employees and managers. I had to pay the same price for my popcorn as everyone else.
