Welp, now we know where the arcade carpeting went...
Fun fact, that's dazzle carpeting, used to distract/hide the dirt better than straight or flat colour carpets
That same strategy is also used on bus seat carpets š
It is!!
And hotels
Is this where someone says "and my axe?"
Also granite countertops, most of the time. Mine hides small messes so well that I have to do the touch test to make sure I've actually gotten them friggin' clean.
I keep losing bread tabs on mine...
Some celebrities wear it to mess witty photographs. And back in WWI, Germans used it to mess with the enemyās eyes, make it harder to see which direction their vehicles were going. At least I think so?
British, not german. It was created by Norman Wilkinson and then got adopted by US navy too
Dazzle paint on ship is my favourite type of camouflage paint. I saw a digital model of a ship moving in full dazzle and it was so trippy. Other than messing with the direction of movement it also made it hard to gauge speed on sight.
Minor mistake, day is now ruined lmao
it also makes it hard to see what kind of ship it is, or whether there's other ships with it. So you think a cruiser/destroyer group looks like a battleship or vice versa.
Perfect idea for my home's stairs!!! It will save me from having to vacuum my dog's hairs :)
The stars also help navigate the floors in a dark room.
If you remembered your lighted sextant
I'd love to print photos in a star lit dark room.
And the movie? Hunger Games!
And 5 arm rests
And a million farts
haha poopy funny

I'd still call the shared arm rests a singular arm rest though

Thanks grimsby
Thanks for being the one person who got my reference apparently
It was a really good joke, wrong crowd ig
Who can afford theater concession prices? Thatās three times more cup holders than will be needed at any given time.
... so you don't hide snacks under flabs of fat? BLASPHEMY
whooooooooo
not sure if I get the reference...
...or if he's whooo'ing for the sake of whoo'ing
Going for the sound Bender made when he was fat
You're not allowed to bring your own food except hot drinks and alcohol? What 3rd world country are you from
My 3rd world country passed a law several years ago that prohibited cinemas from prohibiting people from bringing foods into the cinema (except alcoholic beverages)
y'know, as they should, cause that's utter bullshit lol
Iām ok with snacks but not food. Sorry Iām not tryna watch my movie and smell some butter chicken in the back mixing in with someoneās dominos upfront and some dude slurping pho next to me.
Cause if you allow food in america thatās exactly whatās gonna happen people are gonna come in groups with boxes of pizza or buckets of chicken wings .
You should be able to bring in snacks and drinks. Not actual meals.
I used to work at a theater that allowed all outside food. It was awful.
As a moviegoer, constantly being hit with the smell of BBQ, pizza, wings, pasta, basically anything you can imagine is really distracting.
As an employee, there were always wing bones on the floor we had to sweep up between showings. People who brought in buckets of chicken always left the buckets behind but at least the bones were in them. Wing eaters just dropped the bones on the floor.
Actual food doesn't smell any more than snacks do
They're also at the perfect height for accidentally hitting your drink with your knee as you get up and spilling it all over your neighbors lap.
Lmao I missed that. Why the fuck would they be at seat level and not armrest level?
Troll face
So your neighbor can borrow your armrest and fondle your straw with his buttery fingers.
( Ķ”Ā° ĶŹ Ķ”Ā°)
It was YOU!
How many times do I have to apologize to you?
A sad story, to learn more search for "4 girls 3 cups".
The maniacs, they made the sequel.
I'd like to think the movie titles follow a Fibonacci sequence.
2 girls 1 cup
3 girls 2 cups
5 girls 3 cups
8 girls 5 cups
etc
No better joke than a math joke
1 girl 1 cup
Maybe Iāve just had bad experiences, but this seems totally normal for me, this happens all the time.
It's normal for any sort of space-saving connected seating What's not normal is where these are positioned. These seats were designed by a psychopath.
You don't all need a gallon of soda. Plus the XL gets a refill. Just share, man.
And don't do the penis through the bottom trick. That just gets soda and ice everywhere.
No refills since COVID, at least at the theaters I go to.
Man, COVID ruined everything.
There are still fast food places with the bathrooms "out of order for safety" since early in the pandemic, and now they're just depriving me of a place to wash my hands before I eat my food so they don't have to schedule employees to keep up with the bathrooms.
Plot twist: the employees aren't washing their hands either.
I hadn't thought of that, but I guess it's an easy way to keep costs down.
Assert dominance. Arrive a bit early, buy two drinks, sit in one of the inner seats.
I can smell this picture.
Never known the cup holders to be at maximum capacity to be honest with you
The theater I used to work at had a cup holder for EVERY OTHER seat. Wars were fought.
The aisle seat can just set their cup on the step there. I'm sure no one will kick it in the dark.
Put it under the light it should be fine.
Naw the fourth persons cup holder is the stairs
This has to be a reading cinema in Aus right?
No, it's in Argentina lol
ok looks exactly the same
Just use a cup holder expander.
Does every single person in a theater have a drink?
No, but the odds that 4 people in a row do seem pretty good.
I hear ya. I'm in my 40s and I don't think I've ever had a drink in a movie theater. Getting snacks/popcorn/drinks, etc. was just never part of the movie experience for us growing up. We typically went to a movie after lunch or dinner so there was no need for food.
r/liminalspaces
This looks remarkably similar to a theatre near where I used to live and if so, the cupholders are 100% full of sticky crap even after "cleaning".
Cinemaxx Germany? Looks like it š
Cinepolis in Buenos Aires Argentinaš
Paper, rock, scissors
Tbh most theaters have very crappy seats. Now they actually sell the good seats as a special stuff with a supplement...
I even went to one where the seat was not wide enough. The armrest was big, but it took too much space from the seat that most people could not sit comfortably in it.
EDIT > forgot to mention I'm in France.
Every theater around me amc iPic gold star cinamas and Hollywood blvd theater all have large reclining seats a small personal table for food and drink and seats that are in pairs of two with a āend table ā like split between them so on a date your not sitting in the middle row with people on either side of you close to you etc.
It seems that theaters here in my area āChicagolandā prioritize premium experience and less seating rather than packing them in like they did prior.
They also have full menus kitchens and bars and a button to call a server over for ordering or refills anytime.
Also spacious about 40 seats a theater room now instead of 300.
I might just live in a nice area and assume everyone else lives like this idk.
I'm from germany and I think that only premium cinemas really have a reason to exist. If people just want to see a movie as cheaply as possible, they can do that at home, so there's no real point for a super cheap cinema.
My favourite cinema around here is also pretty premium, though they have both regular and premium seats. The regular seats are fine and still pretty comfy, not crammed but also not super spacious. The premium seats are super spacious, have leg rests and small tables, though there are no servers in this cinema (and I'm also not sure if I'd enjoy having them run around during the movie).
The cinema also includes 2 restaurants (one "american diner" and one italian restaurant), a bar, and a bowling center (which itself also has burgers and finger food, so technically 3 restaurants).
This theater is also home to the currently largest IMAX screen on the planet.
And just by being a huge ass theater, it seats 600 people without having to squeeze :D
The prices range from 9ā¬ ($10) for a regular seat in a regular room to 20,50ā¬ ($22,77) for the most expensive premium seats in the IMAX room. On mondays, you can get a regular seat for 7ā¬ ($7,77).
How are the prices at your cinema?
I once paid the extra ā¬ for the comfortable lounge seat and had the nap of the lifetime trying to watch a war movie.
In my defence, I had a double shift that day before going to the theatre
Bro the carpet needs cleaning
Cute carpet lol
Tell me, how many cup holders do you see?
Might as well leave a snapped pool cue behind while youāre at it
They probably know that only 2 in 3 people buy drinks
Americans do not hydrate nearly enough to justify 1 cup per seat.
What if I told you this wasn't in America though š
The real movie is the fight to the death over the cup holder.
Ha classic Vue.
The vue near me only has the fancy leather reclining seats, itās by far the best cinema out of the ones near me
Yeah not all are built the same, especially if theyāve had refits. Mine has blue seats but has the leather ones for the VIP section. Itās the star carpet that really ties them together.
Iām surprised they havenāt updated more of them, sure itās the only reason that one is still open. Itās made it way more popular than the others. Itās a shitty area too, we NEVER get nice things first lol, I always assumed theyād done all of them
So when I worked at Vue the GM at the time was inches from getting all the carpets and toilets redone. Picked tiles, colours, carpets all ready to order etc. then it was scrapped without a moments notice for no reason and ours is an old site, it was originally a Warner Village and has some serious structure problems. The upper management wasnāt (and probably still isnāt) good.
There are 7. Your mouth will hold a cup. 2 is your mouth is big enough, or the cups are small enough.
And 5 arm rests
$5 there is a one on the far end giving every seat access to the right hand cup holder
Do you want my PayPal, zelle, or cashapp for that $5?
I heard if you sit on the end you won't get thirsty.
We now know where the word āWarā came from
Is that carpet in every theater lol
The person on the end seats could put their drink on the step beside them Iām guessing.
the light is col thoe
"Who shall be thirsty today, gentlemen?"
It's time for war...
Perfect if was going to share my soda with the person beside me... š
Even if there were 4 cupholders, one on the very end of the row, Iām sure some idiot would come along and not use the one designated to them and so there would be 1 free cupholder 2 seats away from someone without a cupholder lol
Maybe it's intended for at least one couple to be there?
Unfortunately its nothing new for me. In Germany nearly every cinema was built like this
āSharing with a bunch of strangers is caring!ā
Add a 4th one in the seat
Expectation is that two persons in each row will be really close (dating, married, best friends) and drink from the same cup?
share the cup
Air plane rule applies here final person gets no cup holder but more leg room
I usually watch movies in the cinema.
