You take a paper cap as you enter the movie theater. If
the
movie sucks you put it on at the point that you think it
sucks. For me it would be when they run the opening
credits and I see it's a super hero movie.
So as to not distract the people who are trying to enjoy
the
movie, you'll
need to wear the special glasses that allow
you to see these caps if you're interested in seeing who
else hates
the movie.
Test screenings:
Computer makes a graph of when people put their hats
on.
The scene where Thanos falls in love with Grotos (or
whatever) resulted in 30% of the audience putting their
"sucky caps" on for instance.
Sucky Caps: the quite rebellion.

Wouldn't it just be easier to shit yourself as and when you stop enjoying the film, special moisture sensors in the seats will take a reading (adjusted for seepage lag time). |
|
| |
[doc], you can usually tell from the title, before paying your
five dollars, whether it's a superhero movie or not. |

Uhh, I'm thinking it would be easier to just put the paper
cap
on.
There are other advantages to the paper cap as well. |

Yes, but you can't always know if the movie sucks or not.
Super hero movies aren't the only ones that could be
mitigated by people wearing little paper hats. |
|
| |
With the paper cap idea you're always prepared. Plus you
can wipe your butt with it if you choose to go calum's
route. |
|
| |
Or, if you go for those up-market cinemas that don't lock the
doors, you could get up and leave when the suction starts. |
|
| |
They let you leave in some theaters? |
|
| |
Well that could save a lot of time and underwear right
there. |
|
| |
...if they didn't lock you in, why would people stay through
an entire modern movie? |
|
| |
OK, you got me, good one. Duh. *red faced embarrassment* |
|
| |
I'm sure people would happily do free market research in
the guise of having an opinion if you just put 2 buttons on
the arm of the seat that you press at a particularly
good/bad point in the film. |
|
| |
//before paying your five dollars// |
|
| |
not sure if that's a right price wrong currency issue there,
MB, or merely a testament for how long it's been, for you,
but that would barely cover the popcorn |
|
| |
It's more the case that I tend not to notice. |
|
| |
I don't think so much about the price of the tickets, I
think about that $6 box of junior mints that cost a
buck fifty at the store. |
|
| |
To be fair, though, you can always buy your junior mints at
the store if you plan ahead. |
|
| |
When you see what they're charging for a "this sucks" paper cap
in the foyer, you'll feel impelled to put one on straight away.
Whereupon they can charge you for it. Clever. |
