I remember when Krispy Kreme first came out here, my bf @ the time & I bought a DOZEN & took them in the theater (I had a BIG ASS PURSE) This dude was trying to buy some off us for $1 each We just gave him one Now THAT is ghetto!

Another cool thing about that theater is it's 2nd run, so more independent films come through & stay longer And they have couches... but I never sit on them, they seem skanky

So you load up at the movies too tony?

Actually I don't eat much at the movies usually,
but a bag of m&m's or a box of milk duds now and
then is a real treat.....Mmmm.

I usually dont eat anything but if I am going to have something, I'll bring it from home. Theres no way that Im paying $6 for a box of candy. Im really discreet about it. I'll bring a granola bar, piece of fruit, bag of nuts or something like that. I dont think thats "ghetto" at all.

popcorn

...I agree...its a damn shame that the cinemas find it necessary to charge that much for candy, so I have no problem bringing my own..I'll buy their popcorn and drinks but the candy comes in my pocket...but back to the topic...
AND
.....sooo good together...

It's nice that the movies stay around longer, seems like alot of them come and go quickly. Yeah, true, you never know what might be on those couches.

I like seeing those people who bring a plate of cooked food into a movie, I have to laugh at them!

1 of my fave cinemas .
Like a few other venues in my city , you can have dinner over there before a play .
And some halls have very luxury seats with much room around you ( not the ones , pictured below )

I want popcorn now, but I had a meltdown in my microwave

CalhounSq said:

Are you thinking of the Parkway Theater in Oakland? Or is there another one I don't know about?

I've only been to one dinner theater show. I loved it, and I wanna go to another one sometime soon.

Movie food is kinda pricey, so I rarely buy my own from there. I do always get those Care Bears gummi bears. I've been getting them since day one of going to the movies. I feel like it's a tradition now



I'm not a huge popcorn fan, but from time to time I get in the mood for super buttery movie popcorn. Some theaters have ushers, so it's kinda hard to pop open a canned drink with one standing in your area. I just take my own candy bar when I'm in the mood for something sweet while I'm there. It's not hard to sneak that in when you have a bag with you. When I'm at home, I love eating dry cereal( like Honey Combs,Smacks,Fruit Loops, basically any kind of sugary cereal) while watching movies in the dark.

We used to sneak food out of the restaurants before they started giving out to go boxes. Those buffet places were huge targets We'd come home with purses full of enough food for a midnight snack and some....especially when we'd go with our aunts. They had huge purses I'm laughing just thinking about it now.

Hot buttered popcorn, Maltesers and a coke to balance out the salty/sweet thirst i'll experience to go along with it

I went to the movies last week ,got to the counter and saw they were offering

I think they've finally got it right.

tony23k said:

Now we're talkin'!!!! And of course then you need to add a big diet coke
to that, and you'd have a meal...

I see roodboi posted raisinets above, and I was thinkin' how much
I love those things.....so add those to my candy list above...

I've been known to sneak in a piece of pizza and drink. Movie theaters make most their money off concessions, so I don't feel so bad about the prices. Most admission costs go directly to film distributors so they don't make much on that. If you find a theater you love, I say, support them... Home video has already shut down thousands of big screen theaters.

I buy popcorn and then get a bad of Maltesers (that's like chocolate balls if you don't have that in America. Oooohh.....that sounded a bit rude. ) and then mix them all together to eat.

I like to smuggle in full roasted turkeys and loudly snarf and gnarl at them during the feature.

I once snuck in a chocolate sundae from Maccas not so long ago but it wasn't so much of a sneaky thing when i realised that cinema doesn't mind it if you bring desserts from there- just not mealz! It's just as well i didn't cause there were some really grotesque creaturez sitting in the row infront of my cousin, friend and self! His head was bopping up and down and his hair looked like a nuclear explosion. Infact i even did actions with my hands to the company i had *fizzle action with fingerz- accompanied by a dramatic EXPLOSION action* they couldn't stop laughing that man kept getting up and then coming back to his seat. IT was only after the movie that we saw that someone had managed to throw up there!! All without making a sound ...like i said grotesque creaturez...

Are you going to porn cinemas again?

Usually Nachos or Junior Mints. One theatre I go to every now and then sells Kool-Aid, so that's my drink of choice.

And hell yes I sneak in food. Regularly, even. Then again, I've got no shame about sneaking in and out of the club when I'm out to drink booze I've hidden in the bushes either. I'm just that classy.

althom said:

I saw a couple of ppl mention maltesers.....thanks for clearin' that up..

althom said:

Pretty much the same as Whoppers


I've never been a huge fan of that.

I try to sneak in soda and popcorn from a local convenience store when I have the chance, other than that I try to eat a meal before the film so I don't get compelled to buy overpriced snacks.

I missed this the first time I read this thread. Somebody always has to ruin shit, don't they.

My favorite big screen theater closed down about 5 years ago already....I was
rather devastated.... It was a beautiful theater..... roomy aisles with
plenty of room for ppl to get to open seats in the middle without stumbling
over feet, etc....and the seats were plush rocking type chairs...it was really
a pleasure going to movies there...

obsessed said:

That's really sad. Most of the palaces have closed.
