And that’s basically it!
Here is the original posting from New Zealand Herald which has video of the incident (1 of 3 near identical pages, that website is a mess). I searched out the real one because that linked article is just horrible and unnecessary (idk why he felt cool putting "The only things I’m planning to sneak in are sleeping tablets." at the end).
For anyone wanting to get riled up, NZ Herald also has this wonderful little opinion piece from Ryan Bridge (a local broadcaster).
The opinion article is just a shit show from what sounds like a pretty horrible and privileged person.
Thinking you are above the rules is privilege and self entitlement.
Mindlessly accepting authority is far worse and leads to fascism.
You can choose not to go to the cinema. The options here aren't "accept or disobey".
You can entirely remove yourself from the situation, given the fact no-one is forcing you to go into their private premises.
Unlike actual fascism in a country where escaping the government is, at best, uprooting your entire life. Or worst, illegal / risking your life / impossible.
I’m on the side of business here. It’s private, their rules, etc. My comment was more a response to their appeal to authority.
