Concealment for Movie Theaters

October 13th, 2005 | Category: movies, normal

Having been to the theater to see Serenity a couple of times in the last couple of days, I noticed an amusing phenomenon: If I were searched at the ticket podium and found to be carrying a loaded gun, I could show my permit and everything would be okay. If I were searched and found to be carrying a can of Jones Soda, I would be thrown out of the theater and banned. Is anyone else amused by this revelation of the peculiarities of theaters?

This is not to say that I didn’t sneak a Strawberry-Lime Jones Soda into the theater yesterday, because I did.

*scratches at ant bite* Anyone want to fulfill a half-scam like those for my iPod last year for my last Play Station Portable referral? This particular FreePSP thing has been waiting at 4/5 referrals since March and starting to get over-ripe. I’ll hand you $15 for your hassle, just let me know you want to do it.

    Yeah, I thought it was pretty funny too.

    Don’t conceal the food you bring into the theater. Carry it in a big cooler.

    Blade II was totally worth going to - and totally not for the movie. ;)

    I agree completely with Odette. :) Have you done that since, Crunch?

    Well, kinda. Went to some movie with Liz last year. We went to Wal-Mart before hand to buy air-fresheners and cheap candy.
    The ticket ripper saw my bag, and asked what was in it.
    I told him air-fresheners.
    He asked if he could look inside.
    I told him, “No”, and continued on inside.
