Interactive Theater Snack Cue Points
Bad guy character: "In battle I will crunch your bones like a person watching a movie eating crunchy delicious popcorn!". (everybody eats a handful of popcorn) | |
Inspired by the Rocky Horror Picture show where people
throw things or yell stuff on cue. This variation has
people
eating their noisy snack bar food at appropriate moments
designated by the movie characters.
Rebellious revolutionary: "The rulers of this kingdom
have
sucked the very life
out of us through taxation, like a
nave
slurping icy cold, refreshing Coca Cola." (audience all
takes
a slurp of their Cokes.) At the end of the movie, when
the
cup is empty the evil sheriff rattles a box containing a
peasant's last few gold pieces and says "What's this? Ice in
a
cup or your last remaining gold you were going to feed
your family with?" (audience rattles the ice in their
empty
cup)
"Giagantor is taking a bite out of the Empire State
Building like a Snickers bar!" etc.
Of course this would help avoid the annoying loud
wrappers being opened distracting from the movie.
Sexy space gal: "Oh no! Get your laser gun! That space
creature is about to rip our spaceship open like a bag of
Junior Mints!".

Ice cream? I guess you could have the Snack-Along trays frozen, you'd need the ice cream scene to be early on so it doesn't melt. [doctorremulac3, May 03 2019]

You know, [doc], you could really boost the UK film industry. |
|
| |
(You _are_ US-based, aren't you?) |
|
| |
Yea, I think I’ve mentioned that you can see my
(real) name in a few major motion picture credits.
At the end where the soundtrack artists are listed,
so that makes me a big time Hollywood mogul. To
this day I make hundreds of dollars in royalties and
occasionally take my family out to dinner or fill up
my car’s gas tank when the big checks roll in. |
|
| |
At one time the checks were in the thousands but that
was a while ago. |

Supposedly the concession stand is a major part of a
theater's income. I know when I pay $22 for 2 tickets to a
movie I pay at least that much at the concession stand. |
|
| |
People sitting around eating junk food on command. Tell
me that won't give some money loving theater chain
owner chills up his spine just imagining it. "Like a bite
from a frosty Eskimo Bar." |
|
| |
OK, you get the idea. Joke's getting stale. |
|
| |
//major motion picture credits// Now _that_ is cool. I think
music is more your niche. |
|
| |
It was, for music used in the movie. Music's the only
thing I've ever been really good at. That and being a
husband and dad. |
|
| |
But I mean the only thing I've ever been really
good
at that I got paid for. |
|
| |
99% of people just aren't good at anything. 1% are good at
one thing. The remainder are good at several things. |
|
| |
I've done other stuff pretty good, like starting and running a
couple of successful businesses, but nothing that people
would want my autograph for. |
|
| |
Nice one doc. Reminds me of John Waters’ scratch
and sniff film Polyester. (my scratch and sniff card
still works!) |
|
| |
Thank you xen. I was thinking you could have a
variation of that where you had a little tray of
snacks instead of scratch and sniff patches. You
just sequentially eat the next little peel off
container of whatever they’re eating on screen. |
|
| |
Wonder if you could sell thesecsnack trays for
movies already made. Maybe I’ll start noting bwhat
characters in a movie are eating. In The Godfather
for instance I think there was a lot of snacking. A
character at the bar eats a peanut from the dish,
you open the peanut section and join in. |
|
| |
A better option would be a drink-along, where you match the
characters drink for drink. |
|
| |
That might be interesting. A variation of movie
drinking games where you take a drink every time
a character says a particular line. |
|
| |
The snack tray could have a clapper board theme.
Those things you write in and snap to mark the
beginning of a scene for future editing. |
|
| |
And it wouldn’t have to be the exact food the
character is eating in screen. You could eat a few
gummy bears shaped like fish in the scene where
Tom Hanks ate acraw fish in Castaway. |
|
| |
Or a zombie film where you snack on the person
beside you. |
|
| |
Good idea, but it has to be cleverly seeded in wild first, like some warped Rube Goldberg experiment to try to get it to happen and thus avoid rubbish advertising. |
|
| |
Hmm. Wonder if people would buy these. It’s
patentable. At least for the next 12 months. |
|
| |
The sex snack trays you've proposed sound like they'd sell well at the movies. |
|
| |
That was me typing on an iPhone unable to sleep
after waking up at 2 in the morning. I can barely
read what I'm typing. I'm not going to admit I'm
awake by putting on my glasses. That's admitting
defeat. |
|
| |
It's nothing new. It's what I do every night. I can't
get back to sleep until I've solved all my problems,
my families problems and the world's problems. In
lieu of that I decided that a sampler box of movie
theater candy could be shaped like a clapper
board. Spelling in these situations will be schetchy.
I'll solve the rest of the world's problems tomorrow
night maybe. |
|
| |
"Keep calm, and snack along!" |
|
| |
Tag line for a Snack-Along adventure or horror
movie. |
|
| |
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory would be a
natural. Eh, too easy. Plus you'd get sick of eating
chocolate for an hour and a half. |
|
| |
Going through the video link, you could have beef
jerkey for the meat eating scenes I guess. |
|
| |
Silence of the Lambs is going to be interesting. |
|
| |
Of course, like I said it doesn't have to be the actual
food. You can have people shaped gummy bears to
represent cannibalism. |
|
| |
And remember, Jelly Belly jelly beans come in lots
of weird flavors. I’m sure they could come up with
something. |
|
| |
Incidentally, I think "D'oh" would make a great HB tagline. |
|
| |
// whatever they’re eating on screen // // A variation of
movie drinking games //
I had that exact idea during a movie drinking game about
20 years ago. I didn't think of selling it at concessions
though, just a website that would tell you what to get for
each movie.
I think a concessions snack tray would have been ideal for
Harry Potter, and possibly even influenced the later
screenplays. |
|
| |
Do you want to take the red jelly bean or the blue jelly
bean? |
