YES! I saw a poster at my local theatre

[kidgloves]

That pisses me off! I've heard that you guys have alcohol served in your theaters and we don't! At least not in my area or any that i've seen. I would kill to have a few mugs of beer at the theater... They have bars within the same complex. Not actually IN the cinema so you can't buy a drink and saunter into the screen to watch the movie. Its much easier to just buy some form of alcohol and smuggle it in.

[MinionZombie]

My local is 13 screens and has a bar ... but a 40 minute drive doesn't mix well with a bar.

I don't want to get drunk...just sip on some beer in the theater. I thought some UK cinemas had bars INSIDE. That would be my dream....

I doubt I'll be up that way anytime soon, but damn if you didn't just give me a PERFECT idea for my next business venture. There's no theater IN my town...now I'm opening one. A few screens for all ages and a few for adults with a bar. Awesome.

I'm not sure how I would feel about a bar IN a cinema. Its bad enough having idiots talking through the movie without them being juiced up as well ruining it for everyone else. I prefer empty screenings where you can kick back and enjoy the experience. I'm quite a reserved guy but too many times recently I've had to tell people to shut the f#%k up and stop talking loudly.

That's a very vaild point. I would enjoy the bar and the movie and keep to myself, but you're right that others would get tanked and ruin that for me. Hopefully that wouldn't be the case. Very good point though, man.

Very good point though, man. agree totally. there would, unfortunately, be some people who would get completely polluted and start to re-enact the movie or, worse yet, pretend like they are in it. if you are in certain areas of the country this just might include shooting it out with the bad guys on the screen.

Its much easier to just buy some form of alcohol and smuggle it in. actually the ones around were i live do, in the deluxe screens, theres a smaller bar foiye before the actual screen, with a few sofas and crap and you can just grab a beer and take it in, granted it means the tickets like 14 bucks but if you like beer it might be worth it, i go for the lazyboy seats myself

[Neil]

There's a bit of hope. Here's a message from my cinema... Unfortunately I cannot tell you if we will be showing this film at all, due to a number of reasons we are not showing it this coming week, but after its first week has ended we may well be showing it. Sorry I can't be of more help.

[MinionZombie]

Which cinema is your's Neil? A brand or an independent? Hellsing - at my nearest Cineworld you can hire out Screen 13 (my favourite screen, by the way) for a party which includes a bar, which as you said is in a little foyer outside the main screen. I think you can even request a film to be shown in a birthday sesh circumstance.

[capncnut]

Actually, I just come back from my local cinema (passing while doing the rounds) and I've been assured any snack/beverage bought on the premises can be taken into the screening rooms, including booze. Top flight! Four double Jack Daniels it is and four beers on a tray, thank you.

I see Jonathon Woss didn't like it. In short, said Romero's past it, compared it to Cloverfield and criticised the camera technique as not being very convincing. Im not gonna slate Wossy for this because no-one else in the UK mainstream media has done anywhere near as much for horror/cult movies as this guy. He did make the point that had he seen this in the comfort of his own home with likeminded friends he wouldn't have been as critical because its not really a cinematic experience type of movie. Fits in with what other people have said on here. All the clips they showed i hadn't seen before and there were plenty of them more than any other film he reviewed. They spoiled the Amish farmer part (which i pissed myself at) as well. They also showed some tense scenes and the acting looked pretty good to me, couldn't fault it at all. Roll on Saturday.

[MinionZombie]

Pfft, Ross can suck my balls. He slated Land of the Dead as well, I really don't like his film reviewing style, nor do I like him on Film2008. He's such an ill fit for it. Woss can go blow a goat. He either sucks the cock off something or he's throwing up all over it, christ.
