Laughable they think this is enforceable
How would it not be? Management has a right to refuse admission and a responsibility to prevent piracy.
And when they are in my pocket when I walk in, how will that be enforced?
Cavity search? What do you mean the same way anything is enforced, when it is highlighted it is addressed.
If I saw someone wearing sunglasses in a cinema it would probably stand out
They aren’t sunglasses, they are regular ass looking eyeglasses.
Do you wear sunglasses at the movies?
Well I can’t see worth a shit so I wear glasses yea. Where do you get the idea that they are only sunglasses?
the theaters are already struggling are you really willing to go to a place and get searched just to watch a movie? That’s some weird shit
No its sarcasm, someone waring sunglasses in a darkened cinema would stand out.
