Eating popcorn in the cinema makes people immune to advertising - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;42539357]Don't the guards beat you down?[/QUOTE] I live in fear with this every time, but so far my specialized theater food smuggling jacket has gotten me through without fail.

[QUOTE=Olas;42537879]Concessions are the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movie_theater#Foyer_area.2C_food_and_drinks"]main source of profit[/URL] for most theatres (which is why it's always so damn expensive) so good luck trying to rid theatres of snacks.[/QUOTE] "Last night at 11 am, a local movie theater was robbed for $50,000 in merchandise; Security cameras reveal a thief walking away from the scene of a crime with a large popcorn and 2 small sodas."

[QUOTE=Worldwaker;42539467]I am one of the rare few who buy concessions at their overpriced value, and in addition bring my own shit (In theaters where it's allowed of course, har har.) to support my local venue. Concessions are what keep the place open, the ticket doesn't and never has. Advertising in theaters was always a joke, because it's known world over: Showtime is when the previews and advertisements start, five minutes later is the actual movie. He goes to the ones that have big "XXX" signs on their front.[/QUOTE] Actually, movies almost never start at exactly the listed time, but they almost always end at the listed time. The more you know...

[QUOTE=Foxtrot200;42539982]A large jacket and cargo pants are all you need to get the most out of your movie theater experience.[/QUOTE] I just wear my baggy jacket that I sewed a large pocket on to the inside of it on the back. I can fit like, 5 whole meals in it without it being suspicious.

[QUOTE=HeroicPillow;42537888]uh pretty sure my mouth doesn't do that am i broken??[/QUOTE] "subconsciously" Trust the goddamn scientists.

Take away my popcorn MPAA, and you lose ANY chance of me returning to the films. Seriously, fuck that advertising shit....its bad enough you have it airing before the damn movie.

[QUOTE=HeroicPillow;42537888]uh pretty sure my mouth doesn't do that am i broken??[/QUOTE] Whether you think you do it or not you probably do it. Some people have a less pronounced inner speech than others but at the very least your muscles are moving micrometers that are undetectable to the conscious you, but the subconscious you is using them to help interpret what you are reading/hearing. [editline]16th October 2013[/editline] My inner speech is annoyingly prevalent, to the point where I look like I am just mouthing what I'm reading at times.

I just stopped going to the big chain theaters and go to the local one that has little to no ads. [editline]16th October 2013[/editline] Damnit now I want popcorn.

... meanwhile, the House has introduced a new bill with the intended purpose of banning the production, sale and consumption of so called "corn derivatives". When moviegoers protested, calling the new bill "ridiculous", the congressmen behind the bill responded by saying that a certain passage of the Christian Bible could be interpreted as declaring popcorn to be "an abomination". We now go live to the opening police raids in the "war on popcorn".
