What did you eat during the last movie you watched?

[JP]

Inspired by the discussion of Avatar Long movie needs a lot of food.

My tally was:

- a litre of orange juice
- bag of crisps
- 100g of roasted cashew nuts
- purefit protein bar
- 4 rasberry doughnuts
- couple sweets, but only a couple...

Probably a PB in calorie count

[ninearms]

Nothing. If I'm watching at home I might have a bottle of Bernard Free or Erdinger Alkoholkfrei, but eating in the cinema is for savages.

Last time I went to the cinema I smuggled in a packet of pumpkin seeds & ate the lot - did feel sick afterwards.

Last movie: nothing. Had eaten a huge dinner at a restaurant and even though I wanted to get a Lakrisal just because I was at a movie I just couldn't.

I feel sick just reading your list JP

[JP]

I smuggled in

Smuggled? Its ok to bring your own food isnt it?

eating in the cinema is for savages.

and not eating for wee folk.

Dude, avatar was almost 3 hours + all the queuing and faff and walk from home etc. It has been a while since the last time i have had 3+ waking hours without food!

Not round here it's not; you get chucked out if caught. I'd guess that refreshments is where the cinemas make a lot of money, so they don't want people bringing their own food & drink in.

Not a problem in winter as one can wear a large coat (with its many pockets) without arousing suspicion. In warmer times I just stuff as much as I can in the wife's handbag

[JP]

i just carried a bag with all the food in, no probs.

if they say anything i will tell them to fuck off and provide more food suitable for vegans!

Eat before, eat after. It's OK to be a little bit hungry you know! You won't wither away!

People eating is one of the main reasons why I rarely go to the cinema, unless it's an action film where the sound of massive explosions is loud enough to drown out the sound of incessant rustling and crunching, and even then I tend to go to ther first showing on a Sunday when the film is at the end of its run and the chances of encountering one of these people is minimal. Luckily we now live about 1 minute's walk from a multiscreen, and 10 mins from a decent independent cinema, so we can be in and out in a flash. If I had my way all food would be banned from cinemas, people who talk would be thrown out, and people who leave halfway through to have a fag (!!!) would be refused re-entry.

[JP]

i wouldnt go to cinemas if food wasnt allowed.

FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS.

(i dont make noise, open all packets before the movie and am very courteous)

[ninearms]

BANNED

[SpugFab]

This quiet cinema nazi bollocks has ruined what should be one of the great communal experiences. Why go sit in a room with hundreds of people to pretend that you are by yourself?

It's gone so far now that when I went to see the MOST IMPORTANT FILM OF RECENT TIMES - Rocky 6, the entire cinema sat in silence.

Where was the cheering? Where was the shared despair, the fraternal elation?

RUINED by the quiet sweetie paper mafia, that's where.

[ninearms]

I suspect there was no cheering because everyone had their mouths stuffed with crisps or had nipped out for a fag.

Just to be clear, I try to avoid sitting in a room with hundreds of people, instead going to the cinema at unsocial hours to increase the chances of the audience being comprised of just me and the wife. People like you and JP ruin the hard work of cinematographers, composers and sound designers everywhere. You should be ashamed.

[Konstantin]

I'm with Ninearms, I go to the cinema for the facilities of big screen and quality sound system. I don't need to be told 'aww, he's died' by the people behind me when I can see it, or that 'its boring init'.

And anyone who answers a phone in the cinema should be publicly shat one.

[JP]

i think people like ninearms and konstantin should be banned from posting this thread, akin to people who preach abstenance on a good sex thread.

[ninearms]

Hook me up with the sex thread dude.
