    Cup balancers! The ideal device when you’re in a dark and crowded room! And . . . did Chinbeard just take that popcorn tub out of the trash and put it on the newly-cleaned seat arm? Does this guy really understand the concept of cleaning, or is he just adhering to the modern custom of making theater seats and floors as sticky as possible?

    “If you can remember when movie theatre seats had armrests that were cupbalancers and not cupholders, you’re a Plugger.”

    And by the by, Max, that’s not a cup, that’s a tub.

    Me just intrigued how only these two clowns is even manages the whole theatre? There only two of these who is owns and also does all the works? They is the poster sticking persons, ticket sellers, projector operator, popcorn counters, ushers, cleaning peoples, janitors, and probably even toilets cleaners? Never see no other staff here. Running a theatre ain’t no theeng like running a little steenky pizza joint ya knows.

    You know, if they hired a third person to work at this place, someone could clean up all those cobwebs.

    So, people miss not having cup holders. That must be why they got rid of them. The customer is always right, even if your grammar isn’t.

    SO! The Starsux Jonesin’ movie closed after one showing. The angry crowd soiled and trashed the theatre.

    The extra-wide armrests are a souvenir of the Valentine’s strip-club days. As are the permanently sticky floors.

    Wow… just watch the toxic black mold grow on the wall between the first and third panels! I see Cranky off-camera, chuckling after he substituted Liquid Mold Nutrient for disinfectant…

    Cleaning up after messy movie goers must be a real pain.

    I guess we were spoiled for a few weeks? That’s a shame to see it over so quickly.

    Where’s Crankshaft?

    With the price of concessions at theaters these days, they don’t want cup holders, they want personal concession safes.

    Maybe demonstrate your point with an actual CUP, and not a popcorn bucket?

    If Tom’s goal was to explain to us why people prefer streaming to theaters, mission accomplished.

    I liked the cupholders better. I mean how many times would I have knocked something over with balancers.

    Wait, so what generic blonde lady is saying that people like not having cup holders? They’re nostalgic for the seats they have?
