No, it's why YOU can't have nice things. Like 50 cent water.

The water fountain adjacent to the restrooms is invariably set to a mere trickle. A friend of mine simply puts his head under the tray, finds the s picket and opens the flow. I usually carry a litter of Coke in my coat sleeve, and a large Hershey Bar in my passport pocket. A couple of other guys I know, like to smuggle in Subway sandwiches.

THAT'S NOT EXACTLY WHAT RAPE IS

Speaking of breast augmentation, sneak in a couple of Ziploc bags full of cold water in your shirt. Or, if you're a man, in your pants. Or say to hell with it and put them in your shirt AND your pants. Maybe use double-zipper bags, though, I had an unfortunate incident once...and of course was a first date...

When the last shittastic blockbuster is made and the theatre plexes are all closed down we will no longer gather together as an audience to suspend our disbelief en masse. No amount of outrageous popcorn proceeds will offset the lack of butts in the seats.

Ironic that nobody wants to be the lowest common denominator any more.

Going to the movies will be a hard thing to explain to your grandchildren.

Other things that Anon is surprised at:

The sky is blue.

Ice is cold.

The Internet is full of lies and hyperbole.

This is the way that movie snacks are. The cinemas don't make any money on ticket sales - it's all concessions. Nothing new.

I would definitely go get an usher if I had to smell a Subway sandwich in a movie theater. That is one of the most distinctly gross smells on the planet.

lol @aestro you think regal has ushers? Any theater that people can freely text in isn't going to get their panties in a bunch if someone opens up a cold one and starts snacking on some food. Just buy a puffy jacket and bring refreshements with you like an adult.

If your idea of a good time doesn't include bankrupting yourself for movie tickets, GIANT sodas, and GIANT tubs of popcorn while "enjoying" the latest Tom Cruise summer blockbuster... you might wanna skip the Regal experience.

Being a cheap-ass, I bring in my own popcorn and soda / water, and try to be discreet about it.

And what's the deal with airplane food?! I mean, really!

Sadly, Philip Morris dressed ushers went out with the roped off lodges.
