    Sounds about right. You aren't allowed to vring food into theatres in the states. You have to buy theirs. Try getting something into Disneyworld. It's all about the money.

    I was shocked as they actually had a little freezer beside the front desk!!! They did not do that in the UK so from then on we did not risk it.

    You have to hide everything. Usually the purse works. I used to stick pints of booze in my boots. Then you have to hide when you eat/use it. Never sit up front and try to get a seat with no one behind you, away from the aisle so the usher can;t see you. At Disneyworld, I would always ride their sky tram to drink.

    Not that I know any tricks ....

    Do they kick you out if they know you have stuff you have not bought from them?

    I think so. I haven't done that crap since the early 80s. Got caught with a bottle of Southern Comfort in Oceanside, CA, but I knocked the guy down and hauled ass. Smoked some weed on the sky tram from Tomorrowland to Whereverland at Disney world in the 70s.

    I don't honestly know what the law is. Well, about the weed and booze I do, but as far as sneaking in your snacks, I think they kick you out. They're jackasses. You're either buying their crap or you ain't getting anything. Didin't used to be that way.

    You used to could sit in the theatre all day, and as long as you had a ticket stub go in and out.

    From The Associated Press 6 January 2016:
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    'STAR WARS' BECOMES HIGHEST GROSSING DOMESTIC MOVIE EVER
    ------------------------------------------------------------

    article


    I see they're using $ as the measuring stick for their premise, a measure that is as unreliable as a rubber band for measuring.

    One of the most anticipated and highest grossing gilms ever, and companies are determined to mess up their PR over it.

    Todays example was Hasbro, who decided to make a Star Wars Monopoly game, and not include a Rey model, their reasoning? - 'Rey was not included to avoid spoiling a key plot line' thats right, they left out the films lead character, so as not to spoil that they are a lead character...
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    Has anyone seen it since it came out and contributed to those grotesquely high box office numbers? I'll be seeing it soon hopefully.

    Jim- Abbey and I went to see the latest Star Wars movie this past weekend, and it was fun. If you liked the other Star Wars movies, then you should have a good time. Our theatre has the reclining seats and lots of space, so I don't mind paying for the tickets. And it is a great movie to see in 3D, by the way.

    Actually saw it opening night. Was sitting watching TV when the wife looks over and says "hey did you want to take the obys to see the new Star Wars movie" I said I don't know if there are any tickets available.

    Looked on-line and saw they were still selling tickets and went in. Low and behold the theater was half empty ON OPENING NIGHT!!! It's a good movie right in line with the first 3 (4-6). little humor lots of action.. I won't spoil for anyone....
