This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Dude has a point though. In cinemas in the Netherlands you can just buy big ass beer bottles anyway so what's the bfd

[–] virku@lemmy.world 83 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Having a large beer vs getting very drunk on liquor is quite different, no?

[–] fruitSnackSupreme@lemmy.world 55 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Not when you're a lightweight like me!

The Americans and their Puritan BS.

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 53 points 8 months ago (2 children)

We have movie theaters here in the US that let you buy and drink alcohol too.

[–] CptEnder@lemmy.world 23 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Alamo Drafthouse is the superior movie watching experience. Also if that dad talked to you like OP, you could get him kicked out!

[–] fidodo@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

They even have a bar at AMC now too. It's gone mainstream

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I am not generally a movie goer. I prefer watching at home where I control the temperature, food, volume, company, and amount of floor stickiness.

That being said, my friends drug me to the Alamo Drafthouse a couple of years ago to catch a movie and I LOVE that place. It's comfortable, the food is edible (not great, but not gross), and I can get completely schnookered while watching their throwback movies or the graveyard shift.

So now I actually hit the theater from time to time.

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

yeah, I just hate when the floor isn't sticky enough!

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

It ain't a real movie theater unless I'm in danger of losing a shoe.

[–] ieatpillowtags@lemm.ee 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I won’t even watch a movie out anymore if I can’t have a beer or three in the theater :p

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Yours might be the best (and/or most concerning) username I've encountered here so far :)

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Since allegedly the whole cinema was full of "parents and children", it clearly was a afternoon screening.

Like, just go to a late screening if you want to drink?

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Don't tell me when to drink in public.

[–] Zozano@lemy.lol 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Probably was just mad he was't sharing. Why else would he sit next to him?

[–] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

quick wristy?

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 54 points 8 months ago (6 children)

That last sentence. What the fuck.

[–] Gigan@lemmy.world 59 points 8 months ago

Is this your first day on the internet or something

[–] Wanderer@lemm.ee 57 points 8 months ago

I know there is some shady shit going on in the background. What I don't know is why.

[–] reev@sh.itjust.works 18 points 8 months ago

I agree. Is in not universally accepted that Nick is clearly the hottest?

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 16 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's called a "punchline".

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 4 points 8 months ago

I’m so used to greentexts being sincerely pathetic that it flew right past me. My bad!

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Are you new to the internet? Should we tell you about rule 34?

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

"I will not turn into a snake. It never helps."

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

It’s possible to know about something for years and still be freaked out when it shows up.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's also always possible to be part of the lucky 10,000. Feel free to ask if you want to learn more about Rule 34 or goatse, I'm sure someone will be along shortly with some educational material. :)

I thought that was the most reasonable part...

[–] Icalasari@fedia.io 51 points 8 months ago (1 children)

No matter one's views on drinking at a cinema...

The dad's an idiot. How the fuck are kids going to realize that's booze in a dark theatre, especially if their dad is between them? He ruined the experience for his kids by constantly drawing attention and letting the kids realize something was up, not Drunky Anon

[–] LotrOrc@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Depending on the booze you can tell -- if he's taking swigs of vodka or whiskey it's pretty easy to know

[–] Demdaru@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

And he was taking chugs, aaaand ended drunk, so it wasn't beer. Also, the smell.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 30 points 8 months ago

That was a good read.

[–] qevlarr@lemmy.world 26 points 8 months ago

Land of the free

Can't drink in the cinema

[–] Kyatto@leminal.space 21 points 8 months ago

In fairness I did watch a movie in a disney cinema once that actually had a bar, drinking my long island iced tea during the movie was a great experience.

[–] Maeve@kbin.social 18 points 8 months ago

After the "Quiet on Set" drop, and Nickelodeon not being nearly as wealthy, anon probably has a good point about Jessica Rabbit.
