may bumibili pala sa snack bar LOL. Ako kasi habit ko na when I watch movies either taters popcorn OR wendy's burger + frosty

parang matagal na ung huling nood mo ng sine... wendy's?

[uls]

kasi sa mga recent nood ko movies (like 2018, 2019) kasama na ung popcorn and drink sa bayad

[boybi]

In fairness, mahaba din pila sa snack bar ng mga cinemas.

There was a time binawalan ni SM mag bring your own food sa cinemas nila, dapat purchased from their snack bar. Dami nagreklamo mga food tenants. Binawi ni SM.

bakit kasi glorietta comparison mo. Manood ka ng sine sa Central square, may cinema dun na parang la-z boy yung chair tapos may mesa pa patungan ng bag at food. I don't mind paying almost P500 for that (forgot na the amount) Isa pa magandang sinehan yung sa Uptown mall, unlimited popcorn and drinks at ang laki din ng mga upuan :P

SM cinema megamall, kadiri malagkit ang floor.

kasi cathey pag pasok ng new type of cineme eh dahil sa glorietta parang kakagraduate ko college. Yung girlfriend ko at that time eh lagi kami sm megamall. TAga bicutan sya ako true qc. Nung bago pa kami grabe mandirigma ako susunduin ko pa tapos date sa megamall. Ayoko talaga sa glorieta na malapit sa kanya kasi maze runner jan. So choices dati ng cinema iilan pa lang.

Nakapagsine ako sa eastwood year 2006 na sa fling ko na singlemom.

So after 2005 eh madalang na ako nuod sine kasi tinamad na ako mag-gf. PAg fling naman chamba-chamba lagn sine.

Alam nyo tsikoteers malaki kita sa sine yung per timeslot. Magupgrade ba mall sa pinas kung walang kwarta jan. Ang mahina kita yugn unli-sine kasi ginagawa laplapan at lamasan pag ayaw magmotel. Imagine pag open ng mall cinema eh pwede ka magout ng last full show na 10pm to 1am. PUcha 12hours na puro upong romansa hahahahah!!!!

Ang pahinga mo lang jan pag nagutom kayo kakain sa jack in the box. Papatatak ka checker para makabalik ulit. Oh di ba ganyan diskarte dati.

Compare din per square meter sa old school cinemas sa makabago. Malayong malayo natipid ngayon.

Last ko 2019 on my last day at work before leaving for the US. Libre din popcorn and drinks sa Uptown. I rarely watch movies na nga haha! Pero when I do at Glorietta or Greenbelt, I always buy wendy's or taters or burger king din pala

Wala na bang Wendy's?

Halos kami lang tao. I like it

[kagalingan]

Cathy lives in a bubble

di niya alam ano nangyayari sa labas

[Deestone]

3 branches daw ng sm malls ang mag cease operations according to the grapevine.

do what you gotta do so you can do what you wanna do

If your talking about SM malls closing but what about Ikea they have yet to open the biggest Ikea yet here in pasay and the last time I visit it seems they are ready to open this year.

its time na din mabawasan mall sa metro manila.

[uls]

nope Ikea won't close

i put Ikea in the same category as Wilcon / "home depot" type stores --- HOME IMPROVEMENT is definitely here to stay

dahil sa pandemic / lockdown people stayed home more

doon na-realize ng mga tao kailangan pala ng nice comfortable home not just a place to sleep

(pre-pandemic people treat their homes like boarding house... lagi nasa labas... uuwi lang para matulog, ligo, pupu, bihis)

there will definitely be demand for ikea

kulang kasi sa public parks ang NCR

wala alternative mga tao... mall lang

maybe coz mainit / maulan sa atin and wala security sa public park

di safe ang feeling pag nasa park parang ka zebra pinagmamasdan ng mga lion

I almost forgot na during my teens madalas kami ng friends ko sa park. We'd meet friends, play sports, smoke or just hang out. Dati pala maraming "milagro" nangyayari sa cars around the park kaya active security to check on those running idle LOL. Going to the park was one of the things pala that my friends and I stopped doing as adults.

Makes me wonder if teens nowadays still go to parks.

ang kulang kasi sa metro manila diskarte. Puro utak tax mga mayor. Hindi pwede puro mall, condo paligid mo. SA condominium na lang halos lahat madaanan ko may parking space buildup sa mga eskinita ang bantay careof barangay tagay. Same din sa mga townhouse sa barangay valenica. Yung mga nakatira doon pag labas gate bubungad one side parking na pagkaliit-liit na kalsada.

Hindi marunong magayos ng lugar mga mayor. Saan ba grumadweyt kasi?????

If you want to be leader dapat marunong ka makipag-ahway pumalag.

Buti dito sa true qc nagiimprove step by step. Meron malalaki eskinita ginawa one side parking. But yung maliit na kalsada bawal na dapat parking all sides.

Ang gawin kasi ng local government eh buy back the land yung community maliliit cut na bahay tapos gawin mini parkeh. Yung depopulate the area. Less livable land = less popuation. Hayaan nyo maguwian sa probinsya or saluhin ng mga ibang cities mahilgi magalaga skwater.

covid eh game changer. Hindi maganda madami tao. PAg ang baso umaapaw ng liquid eh nagkakalat ang paligid. Basic......

Ilan ba employees per cinema? baka wala pang 5? Wala din naman new movie releases locally. So how does this help the economy?

by itself, the cinema probably doesn't support a lot of employees and their families... unless we count the people involved in making movies.
but the moviehouse does attract people to the mall, where they spend their money.

the direct effect of the moviehouse on the economy may be minimal,
but the indirect effect it has in generating income from "allied businesses" can be substantial.
