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.

Be warned:

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

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 :)
