Imagine travelling from the 1970s to now and walking into a cinema. It would blow your frickin' mind. Every seat is an electrically powered recliner? Some cinemas have sofas in them and you can have beer? What is going on?

Can't have a fag while you're watching though

The sound would be quite a shock, too.

@TheBreadmonkey Back in my day you had to smuggle your own beer in

@TheBreadmonkey The Dominion in Edinburgh: sofas, complimentary crisps and sweets, and table service wine, beer, popcorn and nachos during the film. Bliss.

COMPLIMENTARY?! I assume tickets are a grand each?

@TheBreadmonkey @theplaguedoc It’s cheaper than the feckin’ Odeon! 😆

@TheBreadmonkey The first things they’d notice at my local cinema:
- there are hardly any staff.
- you have to buy your ticket from the popcorn stand.
- the popcorn costs the same as the deposit on your house in 1975.

@Nickiquote @TheBreadmonkey And the decor is probably the same as it was in 1975.

@TheBreadmonkey I can’t smoke? I can see the screen? There are no ads for local curry houses or garages?

@TheBreadmonkey I'd take them to the local indie first to ease them into it (no recliners, etc, and it sometimes runs older films)

@TheBreadmonkey you can have beer, though
Show threadLundemo3d ago
@TheBreadmonkey Love the recliner chairs. Don’t like the movie? Drink a beer, have some cheesy tots and take a nap.

@TheBreadmonkey Wendy the contrarian asks, hasn’t the Everyman done sofas & cocktails since forever?

@wendinoakland

I've never been. I long to go to one. But we have a new Vue very close to us that is very convenient and does everything we need. Trish and I rarely get date nights. Maybe one day....

@TheBreadmonkey Used to go in Hampstead - and honestly kind of distracting, but a nice alternative to the regular. 🎬🩷
