Popcorn?

Crabs and lobsters are the insect of the ocean, they're literally oversized beetles.

They also eat shit, so when you eat them, you're literally eating essence of shit.

Seafood is for faggots.

Truth. Pic-related is real man food.

Estrogen cubes are for real men?

...

So you eat estrogen?

Marijuana edibles

Popcorn is a stale meme and movie theaters overcharge by thousands of percent of what it's worth.

That said, popcorn is really the only thing suited to serving at a theater. You can't serve peanuts because of allergies and smelling other people's peanut-breath is awful. Chips are too greasy and making fresh potato chips isn't a process that can really take place in a theater.

Guess we're stuck with popcorn until science invents those machines that can create any food out of condensed air and carbon and water.

technically they're arthropods and closer to cockroaches or mosquitos but your point isnt wrong.

Underrated post, crab legs are the shit. Why do you think vegas casinos are willing to take a loss serving them at all you can eat buffets? Because people associate them with the good life. Because people see a big heap of crab legs and go "FUCK YEAH". With a little cocktail sauce on the side? Goddamn, nothing better. Serving them at a theater is fucking genius. A+ post user.

go away

Shit food/10

Beetles are arthropods too dumbass.

Why do things from the sea smell like bad pussy?

Top taste, user.

because you want a bad meal

crabs and lobsters used to be seen as so disgusting, they were fed to prisoners, and nobody ate them unless it was the only thing available.

crab legs shit shimpfu for laifu

Since I assume you mean one I am trying to get the public in and make a profit:

Old faves:
Popcorn
Pizza and etc
+
Beef tips
Calamari
Jalapeno poppers
Onion Blossoms
+
Draft Craft beers
Domestic faves on tap

What I wanted to do was for special releases that are cult favorites or have an established fanbase was do old fashioned special decorated collectible ticket/ticket and sleeve pockets.

Something unique to the movie, small and kinda ornate you could kind of display that you went to the first showing like in the embeded vid.

Nice so did you want a theater like the alamo drafthouse?

America is about to be great again, anything is possible.

Staples

Country Specific

Personal Preference

Drinks!

r8 me

these elaborate foods don't make any sense. are you going to have airplane trays on your seats?

Pork

I used to eat fried crab legs, fish and chips when I was a kid.
Top tier food (if cooked properly).

Milksteak.

I think she's a woman trying to become a man.

Oh great, the absolute first thing I want to hear in a cinemeux theateux is some fat tub of lard breaking and sucking on crabs legs.

It would make black movie theaters better, niggers can't yell at the screen if they're eating crablegs.

Prunes covered in chocolate laxatives.
It is both a challenge for movie-goers (they'll receive a pin after they leave that says "I survived the brown ocean cinema" if they can go the whole length of the film without shitting themselves)

On the other side of the coin, anyone who does shit themselves or run out of the cinema in anguish will have to come back because they missed the end of the film.

George, finish Winds of Winter and stop fucking around with that goddamn movie theater.

Yes, and?

I used to have a Theater near me called The Silver Screen that was pretty much exactly that, the theaters were set up super comfy like with chairs like these that would swivel and all that. They served pretty much any kind of appetizer style food with like 4 or 5 types of beer to choose from. It was a great little theater but it had too much of a nog element and the prices were too low to keep it open. I'll miss going to the midnight showings of the old cult classics.

Kek

RIP, that sounds like a good joint

diet soda is not healthy! Better to get it from other countries who still make soda with real sugar instead of corn juice
???

Yeah something similar. I was thinking comfy chairs similar to how theaters are going. I really like the idea of mixing Alamo Drafthouse style with the whole 1940's-1950's and Grindhouse style.

The ticket collectibles are to help persuade "I went to see this movie first showing" customers from cinema fans. And the environment is to make it more lax and chill for people to sit there for a few hours.

Back then I think I heard they made movie theaters as an "Evening out in the town" and I kinda want to get back to that. I really think America needs to go back to Americana behavior such as also soda pop shops and such. So I would like to have something like that there attached so you can wait for a movie to start later but not necessarily NEED to go to see the movie to enjoy the soda shop.

The reason I don't think anybody wants to do it is financially you will go out of business due to costs. It could happen back then because our money was worth shit so 10 cents went a long way.

Part of the decline of cinema is customer's own fault. They kept wanting cheaper and cheaper ways to see a movie, to the point where the movie theaters granted their request and now people complain about how shitty it is. Same with airliners, people wanted cheap flights, they got cheap as dirt flights, now they bitch about how shitty the flights are.

Around my area, DFW, the movies theaters that do the greatest business are around upper-middle class areas and are premium, such as Alamo Drafthouse or Movie Tavern. Expensive, but they usually show smaller and older movies along with the big ones and have tons of alcohol. It's the dollar theaters that are doing horrible: underpaid staff who don't give a shit, uncleaned bathrooms, and floors that feel like walking on a layer of honey. Then they blame their losses on netflix and pirating.

Finger food like french fries and onion rings would be fine, if not for the overwhelming smell of grease. Donuts would be an interesting snack, as they're simple, portable, and can be eaten cold.

Motherfucking gyros. Everyone is given a bib.

Niggers are just as loud when they're eating.
They chew with their mouths open and make disgusting slopping noises

Sausages, cheese, mustard, rye bread, and beer.

This is what I grew up on.

Oysters, clams, and kekolds.

how fat are you?

Not him, but my diet was just as bad and I'm a skellington.
My metabolism is going to slow down one day and I'm going to turn into a fucking planet.
polite sage for gay blogpost

Guess all of that fat went to my brain and made me stupid.

Hit me with a bratwurst, sauerkraut, and mustard on a potato roll por favor.

kill yourself fatass

I'd serve Schuman farms heads of lettuce

crab and lobster are basically the same food

bait

Expensive bait

Are you saying if somehow something causes mosquitos to mutate into lobster size, they will taste as good?

Oh boy, this is the future of seafood.

Crustacea/n/ thread?

Disgusting user. Mosquitoes must be cleansed from the Earth.

Dubs confirmed.

If honeybees go extinct, mosquitos will become the greatest pollinators on Earth, meaning our food supply would depend on them. Plus, only a fraction of mosquito species drink blood.

Consider this idea that's just too much trouble to make work in mass production.
I was remembering reading something about technology to combine smell with film.
Why not combine film with food, like good ones are paired with carefully fitted soundtracks?
Have a series of appetizers that are timed to be eaten for specific key moments to enhance the experience.

Sorry for sperging out there. Lets just say where I come from mosquitoes do more harm than good and spread disease.

Here is what I'd do:
First, I'd allow different high-class/hipster food stands (food stands as in they serve maybe 3-5 different things) to be set up in a kind of food court for my theatre.
You however have to get a food-court ticket which costs x amount of monies (probably like 8 dollars) more: this gets you access to the food court as well as a special top row of seats that have trays (like cinebistro), a reclining function, hydrophobic leather, and are placed more sparsely.
The food court food is overpriced, but we still maintain that high-class/gentrification feel so people don't notice.
I'd set up two theatre run stands:
An east asian one one, where I'd serve either short-grain or jasmin rice as a popcorn substitute, and extra-long nigiri as hot dogs. You could also buy a sate from a choice of beef or chicken, and drinks would be green tea, Bonzai cocktail, and also imported japanese soda

There would also be a "tradional" food stand with all of your "regular" movie foodstuffs, however they all have a hipster/high-class twist.
Popcorn is lightly salted and buttered, put some "high-class" sounding herb on it.
Hot dogs are disassembled - you get sausage with two mini-baguette breadsticks, and perhaps some tomato.
For nachos you get baked corn chips with a fondue.
Slushies are some kind of iced coffee or something. I don't know.

...

What's the problem?

I'd serve boiled triangles

mah nigga.
