The theater near me is staffed by teenagers who couldn't care less. I always stop at the dollar store or even grab a burger and put it in my backpack. I haven't been asked about the contents of my bag in like 10 years

Some guy checked my bag once, loaded with snacks, looked me dead in the eye, and shrugged while waving me in haha. That man's a G.

We'd go every Friday to the movies and would get ridiculous on what we'd bring in. There was three of us and we'd take in bags of taco bell with the large drinks, one time we stopped at the grocery store and got a whole cooked chicken, six pack of beer, baked beens, and corn. Plates and silverware. Good times.

The concept of a movie theater doing bag checks is really fucking weird.

Before the 2012 Aurora Theater shooting, I would have agreed with you.

If its US theaters, maybe they check for guns

I'm sorry, but you can't enter without a gun, this is Texas.

Yeah same. I've brought burritos, burgers, beers.

My favorite was during the opening scene of the Great Gatsby when they're glamorizing all the champagne flowing at these elegant parties, I popped my bottle of champagne I brought in for my girlfriend and I to share and this other guy was like "aw fuck you", in an envious tone.
