If you predicted that we thought the movie was indeed actually funny, then YOU'RE WRONG.
So, that means that if you predicited that we hated the movie.... NAH, YOU'RE ALSO WRONG.
So where does that leave us? Well... let's see if you guessed this one: WE DIDN'T SEE THE FUCKING MOVIE.
Yes, it's true. Tony and I DID NOT see "Pineapple Express" today. Now, don't think I was just tricking you. I wouldn't waste the time and effort posting this if I was just messing around. Plus, Tony would probably delete this if he thought this was just bull. Nope, I have a story I would like to share with you all.
Tony and I actually WENT to see "Pineapple Express" today. However, we didn't get to see the movie. Why? Well, for those of you that don't know, we are only 16. And, as you know, "Pineapple Express" is rated R by the goddamn MPAA. And the rules say, Rated R = no admittance under 17. So, we turned around and went home, and we didn't get to see the movie.
Yeah... right.
WE SNUCK THE HELL IN! Come on... we were all 16 once... we've all done it. We went to our local theater, a small AMC in Deptford, NJ, where we always illeagally enjoy R-rated movies.
Not today.
I don't know what it was.. but they were alert today. Like... actually doing their jobs. And they questioned us right away. We bought a ticket for "Wall-E", and the kid working there asked us if we really wanted to see "Wall-E", or if we were sneaking into "Pineapple Express". We told them we were there strictly for "Wall-E".
Well, we went into the bathroom to get the attention off of us. "Pineapple Express" was playing right across the hall from "Wall-E", so we figured we'd walk right in, no problem. Well, we walked right in, just as planned, just as we always do, only to find some dickhead working for the theater hiding behind the inside wall. He walked out and went "Uh-uh", like he was cool, and made us go into the "Wall-E" theater.
This was the first time we had ever gotten caught. And to be honest it kind of caught me off-guard. So we had to fucking sit there and watch "Wall-E" again... Not that "Wall-E" wasn't a good movie... but we spent seven fucking dollars on it, when we had already seen it before, and considering the circumstances, just couldn't enjoy it.
So we couldn't see "Pineapple Express", due to some jackass that has no life. I honestly don't understand what happened... I understand that it is their job and all... but why all of a sudden? They never ask, and they never have ticket-takers inside the building, and they never, EVER have ushers.
So we pretty much cussed out the guys there. We can't sneak into movies there anymore, because they know our faces now. So, there's really no point in going there anymore. If I had the choice, I wouldn't go there anyway. The theaters suck, the popcorn prices are ridiculous, and the people are assholes. I would much rather go to Cinemark, or The Ritz, where it's a lot easier to sneak into. Not to mention, the theaters are nicer, the people aren't out to get you, and the prices are actually somewhat reasonable, and the people just don't give a fuck. They don't even bother going through the trouble. (Editor's Note: The Ritz has chocolate cake too, and Cinemark has a Chinese place next door.)
So now Tony's plan is to badmouth the theater all over the place. Post shit on the site, and send a link of it all to their corporate offices. FUCK AMC. We're just not going to go there anymore, simple as that.
So Tony and I found this story pretty amusing. It was the first time we had gotten caught, so we couldn't help but laugh our asses off. (Oh, and our revenge by trashing the theater and pissing all over the toilet seat). We hoped you had a laugh at our expense too. We're trying again next week at Cinemark, where we will also attempt to get into Tropic Thunder as well. We'll be sure to let you all know how that goes.

I'm sorry you didn't get to see the film.
That is horrible.
jerry, you have no idea. the guy must have thought he was so cool. we walked in and he scared the shit out of us cause he just popped out of nowhere. and he was just like "uh-uh". dont worry. Cinnemark is a lot easier to sneak into. and there arent any dicklips there that are gonna try so hard. ;)
lmao. editors note???
Isn't that some bullshit though?
I don't know if anyone knows AMC's R-rated policy... but what if I had gotten a parent to purchase the tickets? Or if I had gotten them from an automated machine? Could they refuse me???
I had a feeling the third choice was the right one since I saw Tony had an aggravated myspace status earlier. It was always way to hard for me to sneak in to the R rated movies when I was under 17 and I didn't go to the movies that much anyway so I just didn't bother. Most people didn't really care at the theater I worked at but there was the occasional asshole who got the thrill of his day by kicking people out. Sorry that happened to you and hopefully you can see it before too long.
