I used to take A backpack and fill it for the movies. But when I was A kid you could smoke in the theatre, Wow! Cigarettes, pop, A couple 6-packs of the high life and my girl Mary Jane. Those were the days. As far as the spandex don't wear spandex. Do what you want don't listen to the woman, just act as if your listening to the woman. Trust me I'm A big, ugly, single guy and I no what I'm talking about.

Does her friend work for the theater? Good grief with friends like that.... you know the rest. It's not stealing. The price of snacks at the movies is highway robbery and people are stupid to pay it.

I'm all for sneaking stuff into the theater, but for the love of god, don't sneak food in crinkly bags and make noise for 20 minutes while you eat it.

I went to the Granada last week for a performance - a little water bottle was over $3 - I reverted to dipping my shoe in the toliet to wet my whistle... next time I'm going to 1/4 freeze a bottle, so it'll be nice and cold at intermission, oh yea, a beer was $8 upstairs!

Dear Candy Smuggler: God put Cost Plus next door to the Metro 4 for a good reason. However, the next time someone sitting near me busts out a styrofoam clamshell full of steaming, stinking take out food, I am going to end up on the nightly news.

I always figured that I was not shorting the movie theater if I brought my own snacks into the theater AND took my snacking-related trash away, too. (If you're taking your own snacks to the movies, and then you leave the trash on the floor, expecting the theater's employees to pick it up for you ... well, that would be akin to bringing your own meal to a restaurant, and expecting the restaurant's busboy and dishwasher to clean your table and wash your dishes for you, right? That would be rude, and I could see how someone might argue that you're "stealing" the services that the movie theater provides. So don't do that.) Another rule I'd propose is not to bring anything noisier than what the movie theater sells. But you can make a heck of a lot of noise by slurping a nearly-empty bucket of soda and rattling a box of Glossette raisins and crunching your way through a trough of crunchy popcorn. So honestly, I think I'm justified in bringing a fresh, sliced apple, especially if I'm going to make an effort to eat it quietly. Am I off-base on the apple? Someone let me know if that's offensively noisy. I would not want to get shot by an irritated fellow theater patron, or even bludgeoned with a box of hard candy or other blunt object.

There is more than one way to eat an apple. There is the way I eat it, which is quietly. Then there is the way my boss eats it, as though he has no lips. You said you make an effort to be quiet about it, 73516, and if this is the case then I'd say it's no louder than a popcorn eater would be!

Have you ever just listened to the chewing and chomping sounds in a theatre? Discovered in my youth with some concious heightening help, but just block out the movie and it sounds like a million termites....
