  1. Every theater should have a toilet in a room with a wall of one way glass that can still see the screen.

  2. Sounds like Danny McBride is just forming an opinion without ever actually attending a movie in a theater like this. Lots of weird hypotheticals. If it wasn’t for Alamo Drafthouse I wouldn’t even go to the theater anymore. It’s such a great experience.

  3. who doesn’t love eating flat bread pizza in the dark

  6. I’ve never seen the appeal of dinner with your movie. It’s already over priced.

  7. Oh no!. I’m going to miss three minutes of your movie. I’ll never understand what’s going on. 🙄

  8. When I saw Sisu with a couple beers it was an awesome theater experience

  9. Drinking doesn’t mix well with movie watching (at least for me). I think the only times I ever enjoyed drinking while watching a movie was growing up getting drunk with my friends watching crappy movies and making fun of them (something that’s best left for the comfort of your home and not a theater full of people trying to watch a movie).

  10. I confused him with Danny Masterson lol, I was confused about why the media was still reporting on his public speeches

  11. It’s not like I’m pounding back a bunch of overpriced drinks. At most, I’ll have a beer, if that.

  12. Popcorn and soda will do that too.

    Fuck, last night I had to piss so bad when the best part of Monkey Man had just started. Just gotta grit your teeth and work through it sometimes.

    Awesome movie, by the way.

  14. There’s a theater here in Virginia, that has a sound proof restroom inside the auditorium you’re in, and while you’re in the restroom the audio from the movie plays on the speakers inside so you aren’t missing dialogue, just scenes from the movie

  15. I went to watch Mission impossible at the Alamo by myself. My girlfriend had a house full of friends, so I made myself busy. Had dinner during the film, beers were flowing and by the end I was drunk and on to the whiskeys, had a great time!

  16. I fucking hate listening to other people eat while I’m trying to watch a movie

  17. I don’t understand why we can’t have an intermission half way through the movie? I have to sit for 3 hours for Dune 2 and can’t get up to take a piss and get a new drink?

  18. Or you know allow us to just stream more movies at home.

  19. If movies weren’t 3 hours long we could hold it till the end and run to the bathroom like we used to

  20. Just get the iMoviePiss application for your phone.

    Available for both iPhone, and android operating systems, iMoviePiss allows you to monitor the movie you’re watching in REAL TIME on your mobile phone for up to 10 minutes.

    By downloading the app and entering your proof of ticket purchase from participating theaters, whether it’s a quick stop at the snack bar, a fast whiz or even taking the Cleveland Browns to the Super Bowl, NEVER AGAIN will you miss a moment of your movie theater experience!

    iMoviePiss, download it today.

  21. No shit really? With movies that last more than Three hours I think I’ll need to go to piss either if I eat and drink or not XD

  23. This is why I simply I don’t eat or drink in the movie. No reason why I should complain about the option being available to other people though. Nobody’s making me partake.

  25. in european theaters they’ll often do an intermission around the beginning of the third act, it’s fantastic

    empty your bladder and refill your drinks and snacks for the crescendo

  26. I’m going to have to pee no matter what with 3 hour movies.

  28. I wish movies had Intermissions like a play. Every single one of us will need to pee sooner or later. For sure any movie over 2hrs

  29. So true. Made this mistake at a VIP cineplex. Pissed the entire movie.

  30. I am usually done with my food by the end of all the trailers.

  31. Talk about burying the lede:

    “If I went to a theater, and it was like, ‘Here’s your popcorn and here’s fucking weed,’ I feel like that would be an awesome little combo right there,” McBride said.

    That’s the headline. Danny McBride calls for Cannabis Lounge theaters over Bar Theaters.

    Full menu is required in either setting, though, Danny. You can’t give me a bowl and no milkshake.

  33. Go pee before the film.

    Don’t drink so much you absolutely need to piss by the end of the film. 2 pints should be good for a two hour movie.

    Then break the seal

  34. That’s my secret, Danny, I always have to piss. Theaters should sell water bottles with bigger openings. Or cath you at the door.

  35. I was gonna have to piss anyway, Danny, so might as well give me some high sodium bullshit so I can retain this water for as long as possible!

  36. I barely drink water at the theater because of this, but I think the bigger issue is the disruption of the servers and the atmosphere that suddenly it’s no longer a theater and talking through a movie isn’t taboo

  37. So will drinking a large Farva but you gotta pay to play, my dude.

  39. Or just have intermission for movies longer that 90 mins. It’s been done before.

  41. Dude never learned self control. Don’t binge at the cinema you snack and sip and magically like a big boy you make it to the end.

  42. I pee immediately before I see a movie. It’s not a problem. I haven’t stepped out during a show since I was a kid.

  43. I hate pretentious „artists“ that place their restriction on how I enjoy art. Get over yourself, dude that I have never heard of (mostly because I don’t give a toss who was involved in a movie.)

  44. Didn’t movies in the Charlie Chaplin does used to have intermissions?

    What ever happened to those?

  46. I know this is going to sound crazy but what if we paused the film near the middle so everyone can pee and buy more snacks??

    Like the theater would make more money even and I could whizz properly.

    We could call it something like “Intermission”

  48. Come on. Drink and smoke before the show. Piss during the previews. 30min window
