We sneak in our snacks.

I drink water non-stop so it's hard for me to not drink something during a movie.

The only thing I can understand with the popcorn is the gigantic one with a big group. And refill that sucker!

But live events. Oh god. Sometimes part of my job is enforcing this. I don't understand how people can whip out their chinese take out when there are live actors on stage who can hear (and smell) this.

Man alive!!  People do that?!  I mean, having food at an outdoor ribfest in Memphis while a live band plays the stage is one thing, but you're talking about indoor clubs and whatnot?  :(   Fuuuu....

My main problem with the movie theater in general is being stuck in the same seat and seating position for ~3 hours.  If I could pause it at the 1.5 hour mark and use the restroom, I'd be more inclined to go.  Yes, I know that means I'm getting old.  And you kids stay off my lawn!

Yes pausing would be great.  I have considered sneaking in an empty gatorade bottle, but that won't work when the theater is totally full.  Might land me on some kind of registry also.  Maybe I need to invent some kind of device that is concealed within your pants and lets you relieve yourself in public for just such an occasion.  patent pending patent pending patent pending

Until then...adult diapers?

Looking for something a bit more sophisticated and a lot less gross.

That's right.  I went to the movies today.  Caught Selma, and thought it was well done.  But it's not the movie that I'm thinking about tonight.  While we were getting a $6 popcorn, I happened to glance over to my right.  The lady next to us in line had a total due of $77.18.  It was her and two girls!  Hole.  Lee.  Shit.  SEVENTY SEVEN DOLLARS!!!  For popcorn and candy and soda for one adult and two children.  And she put it on her CC with a smile on her face.
While that's certainly a ridiculous amount, it's possible that their movie group was larger, and these three were carrying the food in while the rest of their party chose seats.
