You actually don't have to go thru one to get to the other, there is two ways of getting to the booth: 1st by a seperate hallway and the 2nd thru the emergency exit door to the theater. Sometimes the managers just like to do a general walk thru and make sure everythings ok...temp, sound, picture (you know, all the things that SHOULD be done) and depending on where the movie before was its just easier to go thru the theater but NOT nessesary.

Of course if the guy who owned the place wasn't too frigging cheap to replace the missing door silencer pads it wouldn't be an issue, and of course it did look like the house was completely empty at first glance - it was only when I wondered what the thing was in the corner that I noticed them there.... and Rachel is right - we were within 30 seconds of the blue band at that point. When the feature is running we are careful of both noise and light.

I hope the guy wasn't left just 30 seconds from...well...you know. [Big Grin]

Only ever seen manual stimulation which was stopped as soon I they noticed me. Never actual sex. Takes a lot of courage to pull that off. I find it hilarious and I think it might be interesting to christen a theatre someday. After closing of course. I can't imagine how much this goes on at Drive Ins. I don't envy the clean up crew. I have found condoms before but never used. My guess just some pre-teens that think they're funny.

A group of 4 [2 male 2 female] were observed doing blow jobs at the back of one of the screans last year [I think it was during 28 days later] since they were quiet the floor staff on duty left them to it.

In one of the other local cinemas the staff find people at it in the toilets after the late shows [not enough space in the seats?] and take pleasure in interupting them.

We had a manager try to interrupt a couple and was asked by the female, "Can you just give us five more minutes???"

The manager was flustered by the request, but eventually said, "NO! GET OUTTA HERE!"

I sent my doorman to do auditorium walk throughs a few weeks ago and I covered the door post. A few minutes later, the doorman comes walking up to the post, laughing hysterically. When I asked him what was going on, he replied "I went in there and this lady was on this guy's lap and she's bouncing up and down and I was like whhooooaaa." I tore ass down the hallway to the auditorium but they were finished when I got there and the employee didn't have a description so I couldn't find them.

In 23 years in the business (all hard-tops, no drive-in experience), I think I have seen pretty much everything. I once took over a theatre where the previous manager had kept a cot behind the screen for liasions with both employees and patrons. My two favorite personal stories that I witnessed were:

1.) My old theatre had the aisles with seating on either side. This meant that the back corners of the last rows were "protected" areas. What patrons didn't realize was that our projection booth had an opening window directly above the prime spots in both theatres. One night I looked down and there was a woman who was on her guys lap (she was facing away from the screen and towards the back wall) and riding him. At one point she leaned her head back and as she did she saw me looking down at them and grinning. After a second, she winked at me and kept doing. She didn't tell her boyfriend and I called other some of the other staff members up. She gave us a full show.

2.) When I was still a concessionist, we got 4/1 hotdogs for the first time. We had the old rotating prong style hotdog cooker and we put them on the prongs lengthwise, just as we had the 10/1 hotdogs. The problem was that the tip of the big dogs would brush against the bottom of the cooker and leave a white residue behind. On afternoon, a lady in her 30s came in by herself. When she walked past the cooker, she stopped and stared at it for a little while, blushed and then went into the theatre. A few minutes later she came out and came over to the stand. I asked her what she wanted and she said she wanted a hot dog. I asked her of she wanted mustard or catsup on it and she said she just wanted a hot dog. I shrugged, grabbed a hot dog bag, started to pick up a bun with the tongs and she said, no, she JUST wanted a hot dog. I looked at the others of us who were in the stand, shrugged again, put her hot dog in the bag and took her money. She promptly went into the women's restoom and did not come out again for about 10 minutes. We were all agast, granted, we don't know for sure what, if anything, she did in there, but when I started singing "Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Meyer Weiner" all of us started laughing out loud. When she left the rest room, she did not look at us in the stand, and walked straight into the theatre... without her hot dog.

Jeez, I loved being in the business in the late 70s - early 80s, with real midnites and less of society telling everyone how to behave. It was a lot of fun in those days, especially in a college town two-screen theatre.

I have never witnessed any sex acts in my theatre-we're known as an "upscale theatre", but I have found women's underwear in the theatre. My projectionist informed me that 2 young women were sitting there and they were kissing before the film started. I had to pick it up with a broom, I was so creeped out.

The biggest shocker-this was in a showing of Life is Beautiful. I can understand people getting busy during sexy scenes of films, or maybe they're just bored...but a holocaust film? Plus, we were showing Post-Coitum in another theatre, an unrated French film - the storyline you can guess by the title.

Is there something uncontrollable about Roberto Begnini? Or since they preferred women, maybe Nicoletta Brashi.

That is an unlikely story. When you get old enough to have sex yourself, you will find out that a cooked hot dog does not have the right...consistency for that kind of use.

Honestly, I would do it in a theater -- just not my own, regardless of whether or not I was on the clock.

I might believe it if I hadn't been there, as it was *I* was the one who served her, I also still know most of the other staffers who were there as witnesses as well (I am living in the house of one of them, in fact). Believe it or not, it happened... but I make no claim as to what actually was done with the hot dog in the restroom, although we did comment that security cameras in there at that time would have been interesting. The items that are facts are exactly what I said, no more and no less... anything else is pure speculation.

Did you ever consider the possibility that you are both correct? That the story is true and the speculation was accurate but the hot dog rigidity issue also correct? That is, the woman was feeling a bit frisky and got the hot dog only to find out that it was less than ideal for its intended purpose? So she disposes of it, maybe after a bit of external stimulation, then heads into the movie.

I don't know about the whold hot dog bit, but i had a funny story.

My first week in the booth, i started the movie, and while i was checking the picture to make sure it was in frame and right side up, (don't ask, i was young and naive back then. the only difference is im not so young) [Roll Eyes] I looked down out of the porthole because some movement caught my eyes. The girl was facing the screen, but riding her man. I guess they both wanted to watch the movie and catch some action.

There seems to be a pent-up demand. I suppose all sorts of laws would be broken if a theatre sort of said, wink wink, do whatever you want at certain specific late night shows, same way as there are special morning shows for mommies (or daddies) with babies and toddlers.
