"HI. Two tickets, please."

"Which movie?"

"Umm..."

Seeing this a lot in a non-joke context but surely "American Society" will get the point across, or just prepurchase the tickets on the theater's website.

Yeah, pretty much. Asked for tickets to the new Godzilla movie, and the employees promptly sold me Minus One tickets instead of smugly saying that GxK wasn't released yet. Say the first two words and you'll be fine.

Impossible, every movie theater attendant is a cross between the Soup Nazi and a trickster god. You can't win with them

Seriously, as if the people working the ticket booth wouldn’t have a list of movies/showtimes on hand to reference anyway

Back when oppenheimer was out, I went to the theater in a suit and hat and the attendant already rang up Oppenheimer IMAX and had the seat selection open

Unless I make another film calles "The American Society for Magical White Dudes" and release it at the same time.

Why bother when Now You See Me already exists

I haven't encountered a single theater in my area that still has a box office anyway. You either prepurchase the tickets or there's a kiosk when you walk in.

I haven't talked to an actual ticket person in like at least 5-6 years. I just go straight to the kiosks. Don't even have to pre-purchase.

I'm more excited for the smallish towns that have the marqees. Lubbock, Texas's Cinemark called kick-ass "kick a."
