Went to the movies today...WTF???

[We-Todd-Did]

This got me to thinking about the snacks and found this:

A large AMC popcorn, without butter, contains 1,030 calories and 41 grams of fat.

That's WITHOUT their "butter". That large popcorn equals maybe 1/3 cup of unpopped corn and 41 grams of fat? Might as well take a Wendy's triple or a blooming onion in.

Good stuff.

I actually hate popcorn. I think I'm in the minority though. In high school I had a summer job selling concessions at a theater and had to clean the popcorn machine every night. Disgusting.

I can still smell it.

Anyways I'm a candy guy. Hot Tamales or Sour Patch Kids and nothing else

Do you keep it in a special spot in the house between toting it to the movies to save $3.50?

The whole deal is a scam.

I don't have one I always sneak in food and drink I'm not paying those prices

 

[crazyqx83]

Me and a buddy snuck in a 12 pack of dr. Pepper and a pizza in college.

Step up your game, op. If you can't sneak something past a 15 year old brat who gives 0 touches about what you're bringing in, you should probably just fling your own lifeless body into a sewer manhole.

 

[crazyqx83]

my gripe with theatre going is no one knows how to act.

Try watching a Wayans movie at carmike or south park circa 2002. You'll never feel more alive.

 

[crazyqx83]

Cinemark has a great deal you can get a refillable cup for $7.00 and pay $3.50 for each refill for the entire year.

You are why toilet paper costs $12 a pack.

 

[Xception]

Anywhere can be you own personal restroom if you believe in yourself.

Crabs don't care how big it is , otherwise I agree .

 

[wildcatsboston1984]

Would have thrown in some curly fries too but the lass was afraid they'd get grease all over the shit in her purse.

Should have told her to take out that shit, the fries are more important.

 

[Lord_Crow]

Disagree with most about preferring to stay home and watch a movie. Even though I have a great setup at home in my mancave I still love the movie theater and go 10-15 times a year, minimum. Love the 3D Imax at Stonybrook as that's where I see most movies... at $14.00 a pop. Not a big fan of assigned seats, though.

This is the best version of that:

 

[MegaBlue05]

Cargo pants, FTW.

I smuggle in my own snacks, drinks included. It's a cheap ass thing to do, but I'll be damned if I'm paying $5 for a box of candy I can get at Kroger for $1 or $7 for a coke when I can fit two+ cans of beer in my pockets.

 

[buckethead1978]

Has been at least three years. I was going to go to one yesterday, then I realized my local theater charges $9 for a showing before 6 pm. That's two months of Netflix since I let my dad use my account and we split the cost. F*** that. I'm not sure I've ever seen a movie that equals the value of an entire month of Netflix at full cost.

You charge your dad $5 for Netflix?

What a piece of shit son you turned out to be.

What a brokeass

 

[Lord_Crow]

I think it's cute that the poors are splitting the cost of Netflix. Makes me feel like donating a few Taco Bell hot sauce packets to them that I have left over. I want them to go to a good home.

 

[ThroughBlue]

If its the verde sauce send it my way

 

[Willy4UK]

Hey ya'll, we can start up a Paddock Netflix account. If we all throw in 5 cents a month we can share. Get your parents involved, then Netflix will be paying us.

 

[Lord_Crow]

50/50 on this guy drives down to the gas station to use the restroom.

I'll throw in another nickel for the Hulus

 

[Willy4UK]

I'll throw in another nickel for the Hulus

Sounds good Funk

 

[UKGrad93]

OP, you just need to learn the popcorn trick. Here's a hint: cut a hole in the bottom of the container. Bring a date.

 

[Lord_Crow]

Well, it is warm and buttery. Even moreso... eventually.

Nice driveinn in Somerset. Try to go once or twice every Summer. 2 movies for $6 and you can take along your pets. Two screens facing different dircetions, one G rated, the other PG/R.Concession stand is authentic 1970s-80s complete with Ms Pacman video game. We usually take our own food and cooler of drinks. Tune your car radio to a certain channel for movie audio. Pretty cool experience.

He volunteered to pay that. Not turning down someone who wants to basically give me money.

 

[st-louie-blue]

20.25 is a steal. Usually you pay 21 for a large and two drinks.

Damn good deal. Where was this at? I'm tempted to go now.

Surely you jest.

 

[buckethead1978]

Your father hates you.

 

[wildcatsboston1984]

Your father hates you.

If hating me means giving me money then I need to do a better job of being an a$$hole. Maybe I could retire before I turn 31 in August!

 

[buckethead1978]

I pay only $9 a month on Netflix. You should call and get a better rate, then not tell your dad. Boom, you just saved $12 a year.

 

[TheySoSensitive]

He volunteered to pay that. Not turning down someone who wants to basically give me money.

Because that's the polite thing to do.

Shew wee, what a simpleton.

Do you charge your buddies to watch it when they come over, Silverstein?

 

[Wall2Boogie]

Lol growing up did you leave your dad half of everything you ate? Like a banana, yogurt, or sandwich? Or did you just give him iou's? You finally found a way to get your dad back for not letting you stay out past curfew! We need to take notes lol.

 

[Lord_Crow]

This guy charging his dad for Netflix has got to be an immortal Paddock moment.

 

[Wall2Boogie]

Next time your dad wants to borrow the car make sure you give it to him on empty that way you are assured the old man ponies up 5 bucks a month for Netflix. You watch, he will never miss a payment again!

 

[Kooky Kats]

This guy charging his dad for Netflix has got to be an immortal Paddock moment.

I charge my dad for being old and useless.

 

[UK_Norm]

I'm actually quite the opposite. I use my parents' Netflix and I don't pay them shit, except for the friendly reminder that having a child is a lifelong commitment.

 

[Ron Mehico]

If my father offered to pay me 5 dollars a month for Netflix I would definitely jump on it. Sure he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to help raise me, and I get the whole "when I grow up I hope to try and pay my parents back in anyway I can even though I'll never truly be able to" sentiment, but we're talking 60 bucks here! 60 bucks a year!!

 

[Lord_Crow]

How brokeass do you have to be to need $5 a month from your dad for Netflix? Do you sell chicklets at the bus stop for a lviing or what?

 

[Wall2Boogie]

Lol this thread is turning into an epic one. Thank you for the comedy gold!

 

[We-Todd-Did]

The $5 a month is no big deal. It barely covers the cost of the agreement letter he got off LegalZoom and had his dad sign.

 

[Wall2Boogie]

Think of all the kfc and subway you can eat on dads dime. If you could hit him up for being late or not paying at the right minute you could get little Cesar's!!!!

[Wall2Boogie]

I'm glad you brought this thread back to life lol. I would love to know if dad is still paying his Netflix bill.

 

[azubuikefan]

Seeing Mad Max in theaters was well worth it to me. I wouldn't have enjoyed it nearly as much had I watched it at home.
