Always, for two reasons:

1. Price - charges in cinemas are extortionate
2. Health - have you seen the size of the buckets of popcorn and fizzy, sugary drinks? - Enough calories to feed an active farm labourer for a week, not a coach potato for 90 minutes...

[BigMac]

NB - that should read couch....

I usually buy a Toffee Crisp and sometimes a bottle of water. I have never even considered that I may be stopped - but the cinema management is within its rights to refuse admission for this reason. i think the gentleman was unlucky being searched, but the response was legitimate, and he should either accept the policy, or view elsewhere.

If i was stopped, I woul accept the situation, hand over my goodies, and go in without them - I can manage for a couple of hours without chocolate.

[Poison-Ivy]

Took my daughter last week and all in all to watch the film, popcorn, drink and a packet of minstels cost �22!

Rip off I think just to watch a film for 90 minutes

i once took two big mac to a cinema in dublin and been stopped by the securityguard, and been told im not allowed to take own food and i have to eat them outside. i was starving that time, but no way to finish both of them, so i had one outside the cinema, and asked to put the other one in security staff room's fridge and took it away after the film lol

[cazzz1975]

[EngTeach]

Yes, especially when bringing children. Of course my mum used to do the same thing for us and I was horrified.:)
