'Sleeper' trend: It's BYO blanket at movie theaters

[claws]

Source: Moviegoers embrace theaters' efforts to replicate home. But are folks getting too comfortable?

Is it just me or are trends becoming more weirder than ever? I know people embrace the convenience of having food and drink served at the movie theater (Sorry, I just can't wrap my mind around that one). Now its blankets. What's next, come in your pajamas?

Sounds like fun, albeit there've been one or two reports of bedbugs in this neck of the woods...

Well if it's minus 50 in a theatre blankets might be needed.

well at least when people start wanking in a theater they have a blankey to do it under now...

PJ movie parties. It depends upon how old you are. There may be a PJ movie party for adults, though, I don't know of any, but some children's areas on cruise ships will entertain the kids by having the kids come in their PJs and then show a film, while the kids will watch the film in their PJs while laying on the floor.

And I can't get into eating or drinking in a movie theater neither. If I want to eat or drink, then I go someplace to eat and drink, but if I want to see a movie, then I go to a movie theater. Though, with all the snacks I buy at the concession stand, I might as well buy a full meal.

I never eat or drink anything at a movie unless I'm watching it at home: if I had to come to a movie in my PJs and sat there covered in a blankie, two words: bed bugs! South African cinemas are not the cleanest places on earth.

At church this morning it was actually cold with the AC running on full power.  I have a flannel long sleeve shirt and I actually toyed with going out and getting it for a few minutes.     

But I am so glad the AC is working now.  Usually we have the other problem where it's 10 to 20 degrees too warm inside.  I'd rather have it a bit on the cool side when it's warm out because of how hard it is to cool the space.  I hope it's a good sign for this winter when we need to heat the church.

I've read at other message boards that people been doing this for a couple of years. They bring blankets and wear pajama pants. I honestly wasn't aware of that.
I guess it is a cultural thing?
