This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Having a large beer vs getting very drunk on liquor is quite different, no?
The Americans and their Puritan BS.
We have movie theaters here in the US that let you buy and drink alcohol too.
Alamo Drafthouse is the superior movie watching experience. Also if that dad talked to you like OP, you could get him kicked out!
They even have a bar at AMC now too. It's gone mainstream
I am not generally a movie goer. I prefer watching at home where I control the temperature, food, volume, company, and amount of floor stickiness.
That being said, my friends drug me to the Alamo Drafthouse a couple of years ago to catch a movie and I LOVE that place. It's comfortable, the food is edible (not great, but not gross), and I can get completely schnookered while watching their throwback movies or the graveyard shift.
So now I actually hit the theater from time to time.
yeah, I just hate when the floor isn't sticky enough!
It ain't a real movie theater unless I'm in danger of losing a shoe.
I won’t even watch a movie out anymore if I can’t have a beer or three in the theater :p
Yours might be the best (and/or most concerning) username I've encountered here so far :)
Since allegedly the whole cinema was full of "parents and children", it clearly was a afternoon screening.
Like, just go to a late screening if you want to drink?
Don't tell me when to drink in public.
dude has a point
Damn straight
it's about alcohol
Ha ha, yeah

Probably was just mad he was't sharing. Why else would he sit next to him?
quick wristy?
That last sentence. What the fuck.
Is this your first day on the internet or something
I know there is some shady shit going on in the background. What I don't know is why.
I agree. Is in not universally accepted that Nick is clearly the hottest?
It's called a "punchline".
I’m so used to greentexts being sincerely pathetic that it flew right past me. My bad!
Are you new to the internet? Should we tell you about rule 34?
"I will not turn into a snake. It never helps."
It’s possible to know about something for years and still be freaked out when it shows up.

I thought that was the most reasonable part...
No matter one's views on drinking at a cinema...
The dad's an idiot. How the fuck are kids going to realize that's booze in a dark theatre, especially if their dad is between them? He ruined the experience for his kids by constantly drawing attention and letting the kids realize something was up, not Drunky Anon
Depending on the booze you can tell -- if he's taking swigs of vodka or whiskey it's pretty easy to know
And he was taking chugs, aaaand ended drunk, so it wasn't beer. Also, the smell.

Can't drink in the cinema
That was a good read.
In fairness I did watch a movie in a disney cinema once that actually had a bar, drinking my long island iced tea during the movie was a great experience.
After the "Quiet on Set" drop, and Nickelodeon not being nearly as wealthy, anon probably has a good point about Jessica Rabbit.
I agree with the parent. Alcohol shouldn't be normalized as other drugs and the anon is probably an alcoholic -- who else drinks in a cinema on a Disney movie?
Yeah because it's good idea to just pretend like no one has any problems in life if it's front of the precious children. I will drink in the damn movie theater

They sell alcohol in the theaters here, so as long as your old enough you can drink in any film showing
I'm sober for a year now. Yeah don't normalize it, but mind your own business.
Shut the fuck up and mind your own damn business if no one's being belligerent.

Im just gonna hope theres different world cultures clashing here because doing this in the US or Canada WOULD be a dick move. Drinking in ANY theater if it wasnt catered to that is rude enough as it is here, but doing at a kids movie is particularly egregious .
Edit: Lmao, right, I'm on greentext, that explains a lot
What? Why is it an issue to drink anywhere so long as you're keeping yourself to yourself and not causing an issue? America, land of the free....

Apparently this prudishness around liquor consumption is uniquely north american
Yeah, in eastern Europe (or at least when I grew up, which was after the communist regime btw) it was kind of normal to give beer (idk if anyone was doing something harder but if they were stupid enough then maybe) to your kid to shut them up, I know bad parenting and it definitely fucked me up for life, but it sure is normal when I look at the state of this country I live in
Unless you are being belligerent, I don't give a shit what you're drinking.
