I know I don't. The movie itself is high. I went to the movies last weekend, and I was checking out the concession stand and I didn't see anything under 4 dollars! That's ridiculous! I always eat before or after the movie.

More times than not, I don't buy anything. However, if I do, it is usually the classic stuff like popcorn and a soda.

It usually depends on whether or not I've eaten anything recently.

Have you seen the cups Regal is using for their large sodas now? Holy crap! You can take them home and swim in them when you're done! That's why so many of you have to get up and pee during the movie.

I very seldom go to the movies as it is because it's so expensive but when i do i always get a soda and either nachos or a hot dog.

I always get popcorn and soda, but sometimes I get Skittles or Sno-Caps (or during Lord of the rings: Return of the King both)

When I do get something, I always get the biggest size, to share with whoever I'm at the movie with. I hate leaving during a movie, whether its to get a refill or go to the bathroom, so I rarely take advantage of the free refill on the SUPER-MEGA-BUILT-FOR-OBESITY-SIZE.

I very rarely go to the movies - I like movies, but I'm interested in a lot of older ones. I do go sometimes, but we usually all go as a family - one of my parents would have to drive me anyway, since the movie theatre isn't within walking distance. Our Mum usually buys us sweets beforehand, which we take in there. We don't usually buy any food, although we sometimes get drinks.

Heck yeah, I go to Target and buy Dots or Snowcaps. They are only 99 cents there! Way cheaper than the theatre.

I can't brag enough that I work at the concession stands at the movie theater, so YES, I get to eat FREE popcorn and drink FREE soda. Other than that, I pay full price for everything else. Depends if I'm in the mood. :p

I'm not much of a movie-goer, but I would splurge and get popcorn and a drink. It's only because I don't go very often, so it would be like a "special treat." As far as sweets go, I would sneak in my own candy. Haha!

I hardly ever eat or drink anything at the movie theatre. If I do, then it's because someone else offers me some of their popcorn or buys some to share with me. :) But I really don't like eating popcorn at the movies.

Yeah...refreshments at the movie theater are like $4.50 for a SMALL! I don't ever buy anything from there. If I'm in the mood to drink something, there are a bunch of soda machines near by. Or I'll just stop by Target or Starbucks on the way to get something small to eat or drink.

Both my brother and two of my closest friends work at the movie theater, but all they get for free is admission. They even have to pay full price for food and drinks. Except any hot food at closing time.

lolz. But I don't get free hot food when we close. :snob:
