Title: If, like me, you thought it was too late to get Star Wars tix on opening weekend Post by: Black Diamond Vol on December 11, 2015, 03:24:51 EST ...well, it's probably not. Just went on Fandango, and just about every theater around here still has availability. I'll taking off work early next Friday and seeing it in Imax 3D. :thumbup:

I don't like 3D and I guess there are a lot of people like me. We got tix a week ago for a Sunday matinee and there were still a handful available then. By now I'd imagine that first weekend is booked up (in 2D anyway).

We're seeing it on the 18th, at Movie tavern here - nice setup. You get full restaurant style food, reserved table, and beer as well, while you watch the movie!

They're really going for the young female demographic more with the new series as well.

More Disney discrimination against white males. :naughty: Title: Re: If, like me, you thought it was too late to get Star Wars tix on opening weekend Post by: Volznut on December 11, 2015, 05:45:37 EST It's Disney....are there any younger white males in the movie at all?

But yes, the leads look to be a female white and a male black - so absolutely tons of discrimination against white males is in play here, there just aren't enough roles for white males these days. :angel: Title: Re: If, like me, you thought it was too late to get Star Wars tix on opening weekend Post by: Black Diamond Vol on December 12, 2015, 09:11:02 EST I already have tickets, going with my older daughter, her friend, and her friend's dad.

We got a theater like that downtown a couple years ago. It's interesting to me that that kind of setup is just now becoming big. The first time I saw a theater like that, I was in tech school in Biloxi in 1992 (actually lost my Rocky Horror virginity at that place). And I never saw another again until a few years ago. Weird.

Drink beer, eat pizza and watch a movie. Good stuff.
Title: Re: If, like me, you thought it was too late to get Star Wars tix on opening weekend Post by: 73Volgrad on December 12, 2015, 11:02:00 EST Used to be a theater that served food and drinks in West Knoxville out in Bearden. But it closed years ago because of cash flow to owners and bills/taxes not being paid. It was an out crappy place and the multi-plexes put it out of business.
I keep hoping Regal will set up one in Knoxville. Although with my old-man's bladder, I would need to go more than once a movie if I could drink beer> :beer: :dance: Title: Re: If, like me, you thought it was too late to get Star Wars tix on opening weekend Post by: BanditVol on December 12, 2015, 11:24:04 EST We got a theater like that downtown a couple years ago.

There's one like that in Huntsville. You order the food and drinks outside the theater, so if you run out of beer you have to make a run during the film. By "outside" I mean it's like a conccesion stand. I watched the 3D version of The Martian there, and since I had already seen it in 2D, making a few beer runs was not an issue. :naughty: |
