Yes, I do. Usually bottled water, fruit, and gummy bears are enough. If it's lunchtime, I would also bring a sandwich or corndog, and chips.

Where do you pack all of this??

I can't fathom sneaking in all those items. Is the corn dog even warm once previews begin?

heck yes, i take my big bag and grab candy from a supermarket and maybe even fries and ice cream from mcd etc

sometimes though if i feel like popcorn etc i grab one of the deals they have there- medium popcorn, med drink or a water and a candy bar for 9 bux

Hell yes I sneak stuff in! My friend and I make supermarket runs before we even head to the theatre. Last time, we bought Skor bites, Rainbow Twizllers, and Iced tea. Then when we got to the theatre, we went halfsies on a small popcorn (six bucks) . We couldn't resist the smell.
But yeah, I sneak stuff in and I ain't ashamed. Free country....so sue me

HELL YES.

our local theater cost's $5 to get in but a large soda is 6 bucks
popcorn is 8 bucks. They really do phuck you at the concession stand.

they check purses so we just wear jackets with deep pockets.

Always have. I used to make the kids wear their school backpacks, filled with sandwiches, fruit, granola bars, juice boxes, bottled water...

I wish somebody would check my purse you gotta warrant?

You know what I'm saying?

I need to check your purse, ma'am.

Um, no the hell you don't.

PunkMistress said:

this is texas, they check for weapons. there is a sign at the door that says check your concealed weapon with the manager. No I am not kidding.

Oh.

PunkMistress said:

Girl it's the wild wild west out in this mutha. Although they had that sign at the mall in arizona too.

PunkMistress said:

right!

Bulldog said:

not really i got to have my popcorn or m&m's at the movies.nacho's arent had at the theater....but the rest of that food? oh hell no! that shit looks like its been there since 2008 im not eating none of that

butterfli25 said:

So what you're saying is:

1. They phuck you at the concession stand and the box office
2. You have to deal with people taking (at each other and on their cell phones)
3. The annoying light from the cell phone when it's dark
4. Somebody kicking the back of your chair
5. People taking back at the screen.
6. AND YOU HAVE TO FEAR FOR YOU LIFE!!!

Is seeing a crappy movie worth all this??!!!

PunkMistress said:

The theater's around the corner from my highschool and the city college I go to now so going to the movies wearing a backpack is common. I've taken burritos, McDonalds, or loads of stuff I bought down the street before going to the movies

I've seen people taking KFC in

and I won't even get into sneaking people in the theater through the back door and having friends as employees

No. If I'm there with someone I'm usually wearing too tight pants anyway.

novabrkr said:

oh yeahhhh novabrkr in them leather pants. that would keep my smuggled corn dog warm.

Those were the days...

When I was in school the movie theater was next to the projects where a bunch of my friends lived. There was a train track separating the housing development from the movie theater, and a fence blocking the train tracks. Of course, someone long ago had cut a big hole in the fence so we'd cross the tracks, sneak through the hole in the fence, and send half the crew to the back of the theater. The other half would buy tickets, then go let in the others through the back door.

Girl, they just imported Subway Sandwich shops here, I think you just gave me an idea for when I go see Sex In The City 2

I always sneak in food There's no way that I'm gonna pay $5.00 for a hot dog and $4.00 for a soda! Plus,the food at the theatres is crap.Last time I went to the movies,I sneaked in a Subway tuna sandwich and a canned soda.

Ottensen said:

Subway sandwiches are great to sneak into a movie theatre

SoulAlive said:

So true! It's only microwave food anyway...and the cheese from the nachos comes out of that nasty crusty metal machine

Before they had bottled water at the concession stand, I used to carry a bottle in. And if I want candy (which I rarely do), I buy that ahead of time, too.

But I'd never bring in popcorn.

PunkMistress said:

c'mon son! I'm from Brooklyn. I never had to smoke or buy weed because all you had to do was go to the movies!

that's probably why folk had to bring their own food in the first place

This thread is a great example of why I rarely go to the movies: people bringing smelly food in that stinks up the entire theater and makes all sorts of noise when you unwrap it.

I hope you at least throw your trash out when you leave instead of leaving it on the floor. I worked in a movie theater one summer - worst job ever - and the nasty shit people would leave in the theater was revolting: dirty diapers, chicken bones, etc.

Humans are disgusting.

Cinnie said:

I know it's quite alot, and actually I should take chips off the list. I don't eat those much at the movies, too noisy, although everything else is noisy cuz of plastic. I try not to make too much noise. Everything else I have eaten when I've gone within the last year, oh and Lorna Doones. I nuke the corndog and wrap it in aluminum foil as I'm walking out the door. The theater is like a mile from home, so it's still warm by the time I sit down. I tend to take a big purse or a backpack. They don't check like they used to.
