Have You Ever Made It A Double Feature?



So, every now and again, the wife and I sneak into another movie, and watch two movies in a row.

The last time we did it, we saw the god-awful movie The Ex, which I am supremely happy we did not pay money for.

I realize that it is completely immoral to "make it a double", but with the movie theatre charging me $8 for popcorn and a drink and $20 for 2 tickets, its very hard for me to shed a tear for the harm suffered to the movie industry's ability to gouge me out of another $20 for the privilege of seeing an awful Zack Braff movie.



Would you Ever Make it a Double?

Besides feeling bad about ripping the movie theater off (i don't feel too bad about that) i just don't have the attention span to sit through two movies. Speaking of being "too frugal," I feel like all the enjoyment of going to the movies is lost when it's about sneaking into another one. But if you can get away with it, then I guess it's a good way to save 10 bucks.

Sneaking into movies isn't worth the bad karma.

Both valid points. On another note, would you say that there is a big difference between sneaking into another movie and sneaking in food and concessions?

We have a lot of food allergies, and therefore compromise by bringing in a small snack, and buying a highly-profitable soft drink (to assuage my guilt; other family members wouldn't do this if I wasn't there).
