    I figure as long as they keep jail raping me for the price of popcorn I'm not going to feel guilty for occasionally sneaking into a second movie. in fact, the wife and I have already laid out our plans to do so today.

    NO! Why the heck would I want to sit staring at a screen for 5 hours? Go outside, read a book, do exercise.

    Oh, and you're going to hell for stealing by the way.

    No one is making you buy popcorn or other snacks. That's certainly not a reason/justification to steal.

    Have you guys noticed at Ragin Cajun they use the same cups whether you get a drink or water?

    I did a movie trifecta but this was in Austin and we had a Saturday afternoon/evening to kill.

    Apparently you're immune to the narcotic butter smell that permeates the theatre.

    I don't see anything wrong with a double feature.

    I voted no, but I used to do it all the time when I was younger. Now I just don't have the time and energy to do that.

    However I've sneaked in AMC 30 numerous times. Just go to the side exits, knock on the door and someone will open it for you. I do that when I see stupid movies like Stomp the Yard and such. Don't feel guilty at all.

    Btw, you know those people who walks in with that red light saber looking thing when the movie is going on and they look at the audience and then just walk across the room? Who are they and what are they doing???

    Probably just checking to see if someone is taping the movie with a home camera. I would never do that. That's like stealing.

    I hear ya, how can you sit in a movie theater for that long? Those chairs are horribly uncomfortable too.

    Do it fairly often back in middle and high school. I'm not sure if it's "wrong", but the theater I went to(AMC 30 on Dunvale) never even attempt stop people from doing so, and the setup pretty much begs people to stay however long they want. In a way, I think they might encourage such behavior, if only so people can buy their popcorns and drinks.

    Anyway, haven't been to a movie theater in years. Just don't have the time and energy anymore. And I really don't have the time to watch more than one movie in a row anyway nowadays.

    When I was eleven I went to see The Incredible Shrinking Woman and missed the very beginning. I ended up up watching it twice in a row.

    Beat that.
