Malaysia Is The World Leader In Theatre Comfort Technology


The movie theatres in my neighbourhood offer sticky floors, the overpowering smell of stale popcorn and overpriced snacks. In Malaysia they offer uber-comfortable beanbag seating — a moviegoing innovation greater than talkies, air conditioning and cup holders.

This photo was taken at Malaysia’s TGV Cinemas, which includes the Beanieplex theatre where all of the traditional folding seats have been replaced with two-person beanbag chairs for your slouching enjoyment. The idea is utterly brilliant, until you realise that two days after opening most of those seats will probably be disgustingly sticky food traps. [TGV Cinemas via The Fancy]
