June: I thought you went to the snack bar! Ralph: I refused to buy anything! The prices are crazy! I may be hungry and thirsty, but I will not be taken advantage of! Is this going to be a long movie? June: I have a feeling it's going to seem like it!
Oh just sneak in a 24oz bottle of something…
@TobotRedrum: Agreed. The exception being a “drafthouse cinema”, which I’m lucky to live within driving distance of. These are brew pubs (with a nice dinner menu) built around a big screen. You get to sit at a table (or on a couch) and enjoy the movie while you eat and drink. Much more fun than a regular cinema, and it costs less (typically around $5 tickets – they expect to make their money from the food and drink.)
The only downside is that these places generally don’t get first-run films. So you end up seeing the big blockbusters a month after everybody else does. It’s still worth it to me.
(Of course, I still see most of my movies on home video anyway…)
