Thanks to some stupid-ass, New Jersey legislators, movie theaters may soon serve liquor to patrons. Without question, this is a recipe for disaster.
The claim is that making liquor available will help encourage patrons to buy tickets. Well, if theaters owners wish to draw more patrons, how about starting the movies on time? How about limiting the advertisements and trailers? (Trailers can be fun, but who wants to sit through a string of romantic-comedy previews at a horror show? Just sayin'.)
The endless, go-nowhere construction in many NJ areas doesn't help, either, with entrances to many venues, including theaters, either blocked or traffic-jammed. Why this nonsense persists is beyond me, but believe me, it's a major dissuader.
Despite the obvious remedies, the sale of liquor is what these nitwits are advocating. I wonder how soon the first intoxicated-prompted brawl, stabbing or shooting will occur if this becomes the ballyhooed norm. My guess is any of the above (or all) will strike pretty fast, with a ton of too-late-in-the-game, socio-political excuses (and inevitable blame games) ensuing, not to mention theaters closing for good.
Thanks for nothin', guys. The sad thing is, this will probably become an accursed reality. As the enraged George Taylor so aptly put it: "God damn you all to Hell!"
