In fact, a couple of years ago, I was sitting in the cinema and a family walked in with an entire indian takeaway (a good couple of carrier bags worth). It really smelled strong, and the staff didn't do a thing..
No but I bet you pished off at least 6 rows of people in the process....

Re: Sneaking Candies into Movie Theater?

I used to love going to the cinema. There used to be two films, Pathé News and some other short programmes, and the ice cream lady was an added bonus.

Now, you have a criminally expensive refreshment area, you only get one film and a half hour of advertisements and excerpts from ever less interesting upcoming films.

I watch everything on my big screen at home now, save a fortune and gain far more satisfaction. And no compulsory adverts!

I remember those days and being in South Africa we would get two news reels, one international and a bilingual local one. And you had different size auditoriums in the one complex. We had a school trip to see a film in a small 100 seater while Orca was showing in the 1,000 seater next door. (There was some sound leakage!!) There was something about having that variety showing that made for the experience. Mind you most features were at most 120 minutes other than the epics not the bum-numbing 3 hour stuff some produce today.


My parents related how when in our early days there in Pretoria they went out to the local flea-pit and were surprised that the locals were there in their finest. Going to the cinema (bioscope) in those days was an event.
