Dun Force Me

My guess is that half the Singaporeans here are guilty of the charge of smuggling snacks or drinks into the cinema at some point in life.

When i saw this Theatre Ban popping up on my msn homepage,my eyeballs roll up so high my colleagues probably thot im having an epilepsy or something.

Pot calling the kettle black eh.

IMHO, a movie theatre is for movies, just like a swimming pool is for swimming. In this era, where piracy is everywhere, where online downloads sites are being created by the minute, by the second every day. Instead of trying their best to encourage us movie-goers to continue be their die-hard fans. Instead of trying to make movie-going a more value-adding experience, a more enjoyable form of entertainment.

Cinema owners are killing it by wasting their time on stupid things like banning snacks in cinema, confiscating outside food & drinks.

Its like. HELLO~~ u screen ur movies, i watch what u screen, what the fuck u bother where my food & drinks comes from. U mean u rather i stay at home, rent a video of the latest blockbuster and drink myself drunk with all the NTUC bought Coke & Twisties.

Oh God. No wonder cinemas are not raking in big money these days.

Their effort in stopping piracy. Playing stupid cartoony videos that makes u sneer and laugh and than.put the message at the very back of your mind. In fact, i would purposely go home & download yet another movie just so to prove that i do not respond to such 'commands'

Ur popcorn set eventually cost even higher than ur movie tickets, and fuck, u realise ur movie ticket price is escalating year after year too. So while cinema owners are pushing the blame to piracy for causing a drop in profit due to lesser movie-goers. The high prices is everything is not exactly helping.

I would never understands how they justify their food & beverage prices. Other than 'GREED', there seem no other reasons. Yes. Convenience comes at a price. But shouldn't that be for people whom are too busy or too lazy to get their snacks from elsewhere, and therefore u r charging people for convenience. But if outside food & drinks are banned, so isn't that forcing hungry patrons to buy from u.

Oh yes, pasta at $5.90, not expensive u say, baked rice at $5.90 not expensive too. So, in ur bid to expand the food varieties on ur menu, we as patrons have to bear the overpowering smell of pasta and pizzas, and 'stingy' patrons like me will have to meditate and focus on what's in front of me in order to not be affected by the wavering smell and at the same time control my own tummy from protesting too loudly.

Fantastic movie experience eh.

I definately would stick to my stands on smuggling snacks when necessary. Oh God, why can't cinema be more retro and stick to their roots of selling kacang putih at $1 a packet.
