Many struggling cinemas depend on sales of pricey food and drink as ticket revenue mainly goes to film studios. But does banning outside supplies really add up, asks Stuart Heritage
I like movies and I like the atmosphere at my local cinema. I’m going there almost every week.
Most of the time I bring my own snacks. I think they just ignore me because I’m like…their best customer, lol. :D
I do order a drink every time. But eating popcorn or nachos every week sounds like a nightmare, and that’s all they have there.
if you talk with some of the workers, they will often toss out the popcorn at the end of the nigh. Ive been know to take in a trash bag and fill it up.
To Catch a Killer / Catch the Killer (great crime movie!)
Barbie (they criticize Mattel and it’s really empowering for women, I liked it)
The Batman (dark, gritty, brutal - that’s how it’s supposed to be)
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (I can’t even describe how awesome this is)
Dungeons & Dragons (I never played DnD, but this was well-written, creative and entertaining)
The Super Mario Bros. movie (great humour and Jack Black does an awesome singing performance)
These movies are solid. Not great, but still very enjoyable:
The Fall Guy (cool stunts!)
Challengers (a bit weird, but I liked the message at the end)
Fly Me to the Moon (solid acting, interesting premise, not every joke works)
The Bikeriders (a movie about a biker gang. Cool.)
Dune Part I + II (great SciFi flicks, but veeery long)
The Teachers Lounge (we produce one good movie per year here in Germany. This is one.)
The Holdovers (good acting, but the plot was stolen from someone else, sooo…)
Migration (very well written for a childrens movie)
Next Goal Wins (funny soccer movie)
The Creator (omg, those visuals!)
A Haunting in Venice (good mystery crime movie, but don’t expect to be able to solve the riddle by yourself)
M3GAN (another murder puppy movie, but pretty modern)
And these movies are pretty bad or just disappointing:
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (Family Drama: The Movie)
Problemista (I wanted to like it, but it’s just weird, unfunny and incoherent)
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (the disappointing fourth entry of a great trilogy)
Miller’s Girl (this movie is just an excuse to put Jenna Ortega in tight outfits)
Demon Slayer: Hashira Training movie (half of the movie is just a rerun of the last episodes, fuck you)
Madame Web (bad writing, bad CGI, bad everything)
The Beekeeper (Jason Statham kills everyone, but it was just boring)
Wish (all bad things about past Disney movies combined into a soulless new one)
Killers of the Flower Moon (way too long, laziest fucking ending I’ve ever seen)
The Equalizer 3 (Walking around and nothing happens - The Movie)
Falling for Figaro (an opera movie with the most cliche romance plot ever, total garbage)
The Little Mermaid (all underwater scenes are dark as fuck, what is this?)
65 (Jurassic Park with no budget and Adam Driver)
…and then there’s also “The Zone of Interest”. I wouldn’t say I enjoyed it, but it’s definitely an experience. You could’ve heard a hairpin drop at the cinema and it was packed with people. No one bought popcorn. I wish every fascist here in Germany would be forced to watch that one and think about their stupid beliefs.

I actually go to the theater for the popcorn but stay for the movie. I may have a popcorn problem.

I wasn’t lying when I said that I go to the cinema almost every week! :D Tomorrow I’ll watch the new Deadpool movie.
Sounds like they can benefit from a partnership with a local pizzeria
