3… 2… 1… Action.
This year has been a pretty good year for cinema goers. We’ve had the latest instalment from both the Mad Max and Avengers franchises and they were both absolutely brilliant.
We also have the new Star Wars and Jurassic Park movies to look forward to. So, all in all, 2015 can be considered a great year for cinema.
HOWEVER, it could be that little bit better if we could just make these few small changes…
Popcorn is great, but why do I have to re-mortgage my house to buy a box of it?
That sh*t is expensive.
JOE’s change: Free large popcorn and drink with ticket.
Hey talkers… this movie is not an interactive experience
Shhhhhh.
JOE’s change: Loud talkers get kicked out and given a free ticket to the local panto on their way out.
So you’ve arrived late… great
Walking in front of the screen when the movie has started really improves things for everyone.
JOE’s change: Two big burly bouncers on the door once the movie starts.
How does anyone think it’s alright to put their feet on the back of someone else’s chair?
This is never OK. NEVER.
JOE’s change: Are lashes too extreme?
In, out. In, out. In, out. This isn’t the hokey pokey, it’s the cinema.
Getting up constantly to let the person beside you out to the loo can ruin the flow of a good movie. So our message is clear, stop your flow, so the movie can keep its going.
JOE’s change: One toilet break per audience member.
Almost no call is so important that you have to take it in the cinema
Don’t just turn your phone onto silent. Turn it off.
JOE’s change: We’ll look after all the phones. It will be fine.
Loud eaters should munch before they get to the cinema
*Crunch*
JOE’s change: A banquet for loud eaters before the cinema in a place that’s far, far away from the cinema.
