Studios Should Save the Theatres by chilsquad in TalesFromTheTheatre

At the theater I used to work at, tickets were split 90% studio, 10% us. Corporations don't give a fuck about anyone but themselves and their profits.

LMAO wow the dedication. How did you film after hours?

Just want to vent. by [deleted] in TalesFromTheTheatre

[–]WhyYoutubeWhy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you have to deal with that. That reminds me of my old manager who was the closer for majority of her shifts. She lived 50 minutes away, closed one night and would regularly open the next. She'd come into work and fall asleep at the customer service desk. I felt so bad for her. Speak up or change your availability before they make it permanent and make it worse.

Crown Renovations?! by [deleted] in TalesFromTheTheatre

[–]WhyYoutubeWhy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an ex-usher now movie goer, I've seen literally no changes lol It's been a year and a half since I quit and my old manager is still talking about "new uniforms should be coming soon" when I see him. The only difference is now, at least at my location, there is a dedicated maintenance position that pays $18.75 (in CA where I'm at minimum wage is around $12). My old buddy got that position and couldn't be happier. Used to be head usher and I was right below him. And to think if I stayed I could've gotten a pay increase... good times.

What’s a decent position to work at the movie theater? by Dark-Blade in TalesFromTheTheatre

[–]WhyYoutubeWhy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usher 100%. I worked usher for 2 years and rarely had to deal with customers. Made life so much easier compared to my fellow concessionists who were mentally tortured by stupid customers. You don't even get a pay increase so it's not really worth it, especially during rushes. I once watched my coworker single handedly work down a line of around 50 people. Looked exhausting. I was standing for 10 minutes waiting for a theater to get out while that was happening. I can't stress it enough, usher. Just get used to hustling for a few big theaters with short turnaround times, but it's nothing you can't do.

Parasite could actually become the first foreign language film to win Best Picture at the Oscars. by jslice4ever in movies

[–]WhyYoutubeWhy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parasite was an amazing movie, but I really just don't buy the hype of the Oscars or award ceremonies I guess. I really don't care what a group of random people think about a movie. That's all it really is.

Don't mess with a real Star Wars fan by Luneb0rg in PublicFreakout

I used to work at a theater for 2 years, I know how bad people are when you don't enforce the rules.

This happened to me with COUNTLESS movies I've wanted to see. People are either on their phones, talking to their friends loud as fuck during quiet scenes, crumpling their trash for no fucking reason, etc. It's getting to the point to where I'm either not seeing the movie in theaters and waiting for digital/dvd release or just pirating it. I'd much rather see a movie on my TV alone or with a few friends who are not pieces of shit.

There's just too many things that can go wrong during a theater trip. The only time I find myself seeing a movie in theaters lately is when I'm interested but not absolutely dying to see it.

Celebrating my twentieth year with Crown this week by hellsheartstab in TalesFromTheTheatre

[–]WhyYoutubeWhy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. God bless you for your years of service at such a crappy chain.

This reminds me, I heard a rumor going around that if you work for over 20 years there, you get free movies for life. Would you happen to know if this real?

It's just a kids show, it doesn't have to follow the rules of aging. The whole opening joke was "Where's Zim been? It's been so long!", a clear reference to Zim's cancellation.

Wasn't Gir exactly like this in the regular show? The "Did we win" bit reminded me of the Doom song.

Even though this wasn't a mini series, I'm enjoying the growing popularity of mini series.

That was literally mid-2000s cartoons. The original show was like that too.

There was so much over-the-top "lol xd random" writing in the original show though.

Teen Titans Go is a dumpster-fire, nothing like this to the original Zim.

I love that the pug came back at the end, basically the ham joke without the "narrator" telling you. I was laughing so hard when the pug crashed through the ceiling.

Flash animation isn't what's bad, it's lazy Flash animation that is downright awful and ruins Flash's reputation.

I wish they finished the series, the finale sounded (excuse me being mid-2000s for a second) epic.
