Drabble by Kevin Fagan for March 10, 2015

I always take a bottle of water and a bag of snacks with me. Movie popcorn is hazardous to your health, and I don’t drink fizzy junk. I have a big purse!

Only when it comes to food & drink. He’s learned to be sneaky from the diets whe’s always trying to put him on.

Given the price of tickets and snacks, I rarely go to the movies. Only when other family members insist so strongly I have no choice..Three tickets costs about $40, and then add another $20 for snacks. For that money I can buy a Blu-Ray ($15-25), and have enough leftover to take us to dinner..I’m not concerned about the “theater experience”. My home theater has better sound, the screen size is good enough (since we’re sitting on a couch 10’ away), we can pause the film for bathroom breaks, and we don’t need to worry about the distractions from dozens of strangers.

WARNING: People in comics may appear smarter than they actually are!

Reminds me of a baseball game bus trip a buddy and I went on. We tried to get some beer into the stadium in our coats. My buddy went nuts and tried to get 12 cans in, while I tried a more reasonable 6. As we were walking around to find our section, I noticed two stadium guys making for my buddy, so I used the resulting “security hole” to get inside. We still had to be real careful in our seats, but we didn’t get caught.

My wife and I once sneaked an entire KFC dinner into a theater in her purse. I never go the the theater any more. I buy the Blu-Ray of the movie for less than the price of the tickets and watch it on my big screen home theater system. No cell phone calls, no screaming babies, nobody talking through the film, and I can pause it to go to the bathroom.

No, he’s more crooked than he appears.

Almost all of the admission price paid goes to the producers of the film you’re watching. The theater showing the movie stays in business from the concession stand sales.

I agree. I never got the need to snack during a 2 hour movie and it just causes more distractions.

A local moviehouse manager said in the newspaper he prefers to think he is in the concession stand business, that also shows movies on the side.

What a great comic!

Two words: Fremen stillsuits.

Go, Ralph! You are paying to see a film, not for the privilege of paying WAY overpriced snacks and drinks. I’ve never seen any sane argument for not bringing your own stuff in.

Indeed … pretty sneaky and clever here.

there is a cheap drive in in Atlanta last one in Atlanta if you go at 8pm you can see 2 movies
