Movie Tavern's are awesome. I really like the bathroom and day care ideas too.

My theater would not have the front row seats that are currently available. I got stuck in the corner of the front row and literally could not tell what was going on.

I also think adult only show times would be nice to keep out screaming kids and talking teenagers.

I'd have all kind of gimmicks like the great William Castle did in the 50s and 60s. Everything from buzzers in the seat that go off at climatic parts in the movie to skeletons flying across the theater.

Pretty much like the Theaters at Canal Place. Significant upgrade in food and drink over the Alamo Drafthouse. Plus large, comfortable lounge type seating. AND, best of all, no one under 18 admitted under any circumstances. It's more expensive but IDGAF. It's worth it to me.

People that bring kids that won't shut up would be shot.

How about real butter for the popcorn? That would be nice.

Theater-specific bathrooms with TV monitors in them so you don't really miss anything if you have to piss. Should be pretty easy to police too (to keep people from just setting up shop in there and watching).


The could just put the bathrooms in each theater under the stadium seating.

They should have some sort of microwave device that sits in the back corener of the theater. that looks like this


It should be able to detect light from a cellphone and then be able to direct a beam of microwave energy towards that specific seat. Make them uncomfortable for a few seconds.

No talking. AT ALL. Rule enforcers would be removed, NO REFUNDS.

I went to the movies today and the start time was 1:40. The film didn't start until 2:15. I would do something about that. Also, I always enjoyed the 4d gags at The Muppets 3d show at Disney. I would have rain drops when it rains during the film, heat when there is fire, and blow cold air during snow scenes.

My mother told me that a local drive-in used to show porn movies after 11pm and the Burger King that was next to it and facing the screen used to become a very popular place to park at that time of night

maybe that's how I was conceived

I'd give beer imported from German draft house, all kinds of movie posters, props, and life size figured of King Kong, batman , and milenium falcon hanging from the ceiling
