It's actually about the only way they make money.

That's correct. Don't complain about the high concession stand prices
because the people that are buying $5 large sodas and $10 tubs of
popcorn are subsidizing the cost of you going to the movies with the $6
ticket you bought at Costco (just bought 20 of them). The theater keeps
all the money from concessions, but they have to send a significant
portion of the ticket price to the movie studios.
<http://www.amazon.com/Why-Popcorn-Costs-Much-Movies/dp/0387769994>
A significant number of movie patrons seem to bring their own food and
drinks into the movies, because of course you can't go for two hours
without eating junk food or drinking soda! I would usually buy popcorn
(the free refill tub) to share, but the popcorn at our local AMC theater
is awful. It's not an AMC thing in general, because other AMC theaters
have decent popcorn, it must be something with their machine.
The theaters have minimized their staffing levels and there is no one to
really enforce the ban on outside food, so as long as you're discrete
it's fine. I thought it was a little much when someone was popping their
own popcorn using an outlet in the restroom with a Westbend Stir Crazy
popper.
Of course with Redbox, we don't go to the movies all that much anymore,
but our kids do. Those 20 tickets should last a few years.

The one group that you cannot criticize under any circumstances are
Zionists, even though they are followers of an ideology and not one
race, ethnic group or even religion. To do so will have the moral
cretins calling you a racist and Nazi sympathizer.
However, if you do so and are libeled, the best response is to tell them
to "go fuck yourselves".

Looks like they took Ed's advice about burning London down.

hi,Excuse me,
One approach is to suggest simple yet convincing experiments anyone
could comprehend. For instance, say to someone, "Consider this the
next time you are looking up at the moon or the stars on a clear
night; could you drop a drinking glass on the sidewalk and expect it
would hit the ground and on impact it would not shatter, but it would
divide up into little small drinking glasses, with iced tea in them?
Of course not."
Another example is have them consider what might happen if a tornado
came through a junkyard and tore through the old cars; would it leave
behind a nice new Mercedes with the engine running and no parts left
around? Naturally not.
Or ask someone to consider what it would be like if someone told us
about a fast food restaurant operating itself without any people
there? The food just cooks itself, files from the kitchen to the
table
and then when we are done, the dishes jump back the kitchen to wash
themselves. This is too crazy for anyone to even think about.
After reflecting on all of the above, how could we look to the
universe above us through a telescope or observe the cells in a
microscope and then think all of this came about as a result of a
"big
bang" or some "accident"?
