    Good. I took my wife and kid to a movie the other night and spent $150 for stale popcorn, shitty candy and a few sodas plus movie tickets. “nO oNE gOEs tO MOVie tHeATrEs ANyMoRE!!!”

    Yeah no shit I wonder why?

      You need a better theater.

      And you realise you chose to buy that stuff, right?
      Do you need popcorn and candy?
      When I was growing up, and even into adult hood, never bought theater food. Not until I found a theater that has real meals and and their own craft beers.

      Rookie mistake. The movies are still pretty affordable if you plan it right. Go to a matinee or special pricing days. Smuggle in your snacks and drinks. Hell, I’ve walked in with a whole ass fast food meal before.

      I’m genuinely dumbfounded that you even managed to spend that much at the movies.

        Its $10 for a damn soda, and has been for 20+ years (which is about when I stopped going to the theater for the most part).

        Eaay to do with 4 people. I have no idea what tickets cost these days.

          Y’all don’t sneak in snacks? It’s cold out and it’s easy to sneak in soda bottles in a jacket. I snuck in a KFC meal in my jacket to watch Avengers Endgame.
