TMI goes to the movies




1. What was the last movie you saw in a theater?
Madagascar 2. If we're talking "grownup" movies, it was Ironman! *cue Black Sabbath*

Robert Downey, Jr. Really, what more do you need? By the way, they closed our movie theater here in town over the holidays. "They" suck.

2. What is your favorite movie theater snack?
As far as traditional movie theater candy goes, I'll have to say Raisinets. My brother used to get a bag of popcorn and a bag of Skittles, and then mix them together. I do love sweet and salty mixed together, but I thinks that's going a little too far.

3. Have you ever snuck in 'outside' food into a theater?
All. The. Time.

We usually bring our own popcorn, but we like to mix it up with the drinks. My husband brought a few bottles of Mike's Hard Cranberry and two plastic cups when we saw Madagascar 2.

When I was in college, you always knew when I someone had sneaked in beer, because at some point during the movie, I would they would accidentally kick over the empty can or bottle on the floor, and it would do the slow, loud roll under the seats, all the way down to the screen.

4. Have you ever made out in a theater?
Yes, but not as many times as you'd think, though. I save up my PDA points and spend 'em all at once on things like sex in well-lit hotel windows.

5. What is the 'farthest' you have gone in a theater?
*yawn* Maybe some mild groping in addition to kissing. The whole sex-in-the-movie-theater thing sounds great in theory, but I'd rather the scene of my crime be sticky for reasons other than spilled coke and smooshed candy.

Bonus (as in optional): What is one of your favorite movie sex scene?
American Pie. Totally. While I *hear* the apple pie demanded a body double, it was still one of the hottest things I've seen. Jason Biggs, you can throw me on the counter and wreck me any time!

A flake of snow fell from the sky. Ergo, schools are closed.

Okay, I'm exaggerating, but seriously, we've got maybe an inch of powdery stuff. It's the fact that they *think* it might get worse later today, and the fact that they *think* there might be ice later today, that caused them to close. Later today usually arrives around the time your children are arriving home from school. Dorks.

I suppose I should go do my civic duty. There's panicking to be done, and bread to be bought.

14 humored me by saying something:

Well ... clearly I've gone just a bit too far with my movie theater concoction!

If it makes you feel any better, the closest movie theater to us is 30 minutes away. The one I spoke of in my TMI? It was an hour drive, but worth it!

Bunny said...

My fav theater back in Michigan closed after I moved to S.C. - they couldn't go on without me!

I love your cynicism about the weather forecast - tee hee

Happy TMI!

Vixen said...

Ah....I completely forgot about the days of sneaking beer into the theater! Doh. Those were the days, no?! But wait, you still are, lol. That never even *occurred* to me, you are such a bad influence on me! ;)

Osbasso said...

Buy all the milk, bottled water and canned goods that you can! You could be snowed in for days! Weeks, even! Oh, and don't forget batteries. And toilet paper! Panic like there's no tomorrow!!!!

Real Live Lesbian said...

I still can't get over the turd-cream below.

I bet I've saved THOUSANDS of dollars by sneaking in popcorn and peanut m&ms! And I hadn't thought about that lonely beer can roll in ages...thanks for the memory!

Wil said...

Popcorn and skittles, holy crap. That's like an obstacle course for teeth! And talk about two flavors on the opposite ends of the spectrum, jeez.

Yeah.

They closed the bus routes here, and we've barely gotten any snow yet!

Just think, they won't drive the buses in the stuff, but they'll have you ferry your own kids around in it because they refuse to..

Gotta love city politics!

Good Afternoon Biscuit,

Do you ever listen to WTOP (Washington's tabloid and official propaganda station)talk about exaggerating, this morning, they stated there where 40 wrecks on RT 4 in Calvert County. I was driving it at the time, I saw 3. This aria is nuts.

Don't forget the toilet paper!

DID YOU REMEMBER THE MILK????

It started to flake up when I was walking my son to the corner this morning, and the first thing I thought was "THEY better not dismiss school!!"

Who has sex in a movie theater? The seats already seem funky enough without that added to the mix. I don't want to stick to the floor for any other reason than the spilled Coke!

figleaf said...

Raisinets? Clearly a woman with discerning taste! The only thing better would be Raisinets with salted peanuts, almonds, cashews or pecans... but popcorn works.

The best sex scenes I think I've seen in a movie would be a tossup between the big one in 'Desert Hearts' (and not because it's "hot girl-on-girl action" but because, wow, that was some serious chemistry and very good moviemaking) or, yes really, the one in the original "Terminator," because it was just adorably clumsy and it's the only time in the whole series that the Sara Connor character gets a real break.

As for making out in a movie theater? Yeah the arms between the seats are *just so* comfortable to lean across. And sticky, sloping floors are just *so* romantic. :-) I remember making out *behind* a movie theater once, and it was pretty nice. But that's not the same thing as making out inside one.

Loved your answers - It is too funny that almost everyone has a 'with kids' and only a few have a 'without kids' last movie. No wonder all those cartoons make so much money!

Ms. Inconspicuous said...

Ha, yes. The only way to make it through certain kids' movies is with a little nip of something or another. Brilliant idea.

Just Another Girl said...

Did you say an inch? In Maryland? Wow, we are supposed to have a foot by this evening and I'm pretty sure the schools will be open tomorrow. Wanna trade measurements? :-)

Samantha Alice said...

I TOTALLY wanna go watch kiddie movies with you guys!

The local theatres here sell beer and wine. Just another thing to like about Europe! The tickets cost more than going to the base theatre, but it's worth it.
