Well, that's what some people think. Here at the Charm School, we would never express such an opinion. On the contrary, we highly esteem every expression of Twue Wuv. Sorry, True Love.
And we're not alone. The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema chain of Austin, Texas, have already revolutionized cinema-going. They offer a food and drink service inside the theater. The seating is arranged with rows of cabaret style tables in front of each row of seats, with an aisle between each row to accommodate waiter service. Customers write their orders on slips of paper, which are picked up by black-clad waiters moving quietly between the rows.

They also do theme nights. Like Water for Chocolate sessions featured a dinner matching the meals shown on screen.
And, best of all, they enforce a strict policy on behaviour in the theatre. No, repeat no, children under the age of six allowed. Nor
are unaccompanied minors. The cinema also prohibits talking and texting
during the film. Anyone who violates this policy is subject to warning
and removal from the premises. (And a big round of applause for common sense and good manners!)
On February 14—Valentine's Day—this year, they are hosting the Princess Bride Quote-Along and Feast.
The Cinema said this:
We love this movie every bit as deeply as Westley loves his Buttercup, and so when we discussed launching our very own Alamo Signature Wine collection, we immediately knew that we had to start by featuring none other than THE PRINCESS BRIDE. We partnered with the good people at Helms Workshop to produce artwork for two varietals, and this February we are pleased to introduce the world to The Bottle of Wits, featuring an Inconceivable Cab and the As You Wish White!
The Feast opens with MLT (the second greatest thing in the world), followed by Screeching Eel Salad and Seared R.O.U.S.. Dessert consists of Twue Wuv Twuffles. I leave the closing words to the Alamo Drafthouse:

So come to the Alamo, cozy up with your very own Buttercup or Westley, and indulge together in a sumptuous feast paired with wines that are perfectly matched to the derring-do, sharp wit, and butter-melting romance of THE PRINCESS BRIDE.
You could do a lot worse.
