Look, I buy my tickets. I buy popcorn and a pop, usually, for each show if I'm with someone. So both "Hollywood" and the guys running the theatre get their monies. I just happen to like a quick slug of the cold n' frosty while I am checking out the featured presentation. If they sold it, I'd buy it from them. But they don't because of fucking Puritans like you.

How the fuck does a religion which nobody even follow these days dictate what we can and can't do at a goddamn movie theatre? They didn't even have movies back in the 1600s. The "movies' consisted of burning some poor redheaded girl at the stake and if you had a pull from the cast-iron sipper in between catcalls and rock hurls and Friar Cockblock caught you, there was a good chance that next weekend you were going to be the main hot attraction yourself.

It's because of people like you, Walrustitty, that the bunch of us have that instinct to keep our eyes closed during sex. You know how much training one has to do in order to fight that? Do you? DO YOU? Goddammit.

Jonsey, you also kicked your beer last movie we saw together, maybe a year or so ago.
Last movie I saw with you was the Two Towers. I know I brought a beer to it -- I didn't kick it, did I? Shit. We brought Cathy along with us, didn't we? Knowing that audience, the fact that our group consisted of one guy who was drinking alcohol, one guy who had actually touched a girl, another person who was in fact a girl and the fact that all three of us showered that day, our lineup put us in like the top .0001 percentile of all the groups that went to that movie.
the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey!

Yeah, Two Towers sounds likely. Man, I could feel my life slipping away watching the last half of that movie. On, and on, and on, and on... I can't imagine that the new DVDs are 45 minutes longer. Jeez, I hope they pack a knife in the packaging, so one can commit hari-kari during it. Otherwise, there's be an epidemic of people trying to use the corner of the cardboard to cut their wrists.

Yes, you did kick your beer during it.

As for the general concept, you have me completely wrong. Morally, I could care less if someone drinks during a theater (expect for the fact that audiences are not known for their orderliness, and all it takes is one drunk yelling at the screen and puking on the floor during "Legally Blonde 2" to ruin the movie for anyone else in the theater, even more than the ruination of watching it in the first place)...

Long parenthetical statement. Let me start over.

Morally, I could care less if someone drinks during a theater (and certainly have no problem with theaters like the Little Theatre serving booze - which I think they do, they do have a bar/lounge in the same building where you're encouraged to go beforehand, and concert halls usually serve booze)...

Crap, did it again. OK, no parenthesis this time,

Morally, I could care less if someone drinks during a theater, but what I find childish and downright baby-like is the inability to go without alcohol for a couple hours. Hey, I like sitting on my couch and eating potato chips and dip when I watch a movie, but am I going to sneak in a tub of dip? No, I am not. It won't kill you to just watch a movie without alcohol, and chances are, you'll be able to follow the movie better without it.

In the case of <i>Legally Blonde 2</i> this would not be a good thing, now would it?

It sure as hell wasn't for Charlie's Angels II.

Hey, I was just trying to think of a vaguely vapid, mainstream-type movie. Few popped to mind, and I chose that one. No significance to it; I haven't seen it (nor the prequel) and expect that I probably won't.

Meanwhile, I saw Kill Bill again yesterday and actually enjoyed it more the second time, which is quite a good thing as I enjoyed it jes' fine the first time.
