    My movie theater delivers Long Island Ice Teas to my seat. I def drink during the movie. I ain't sorry.

    Eating and drinking at the movies is like half of the experience for me!!! It's too fun to give up

    I just try not to eat really loudly during quiet parts of serious movies

    I never eat or drink during a movie. Mostly because I don't want to spend theater prices for bad food

    I always bring my own bottle of water to drink because drinks at the theater are so expensive, but I'm still too weak to resist the popcorn a lot of the time. It's just so damn good.

    So my theater is like crazy expensive because it's part of a Davios steakhouse and is like a legit restaurant so i figure it's worth it to do the dinner and a movie experience since it's rare i go to the movies. May as well enjoy it to the max.

    A 3 hour Star Wars movie would really test me. It’s rare that any 3+ hour movie justifies it, Endgame made me balk at its runtime even if I sort of understand mechanically that it can be argued it’s “necessary”

    I have no idea who Davos is lol. Davios is a legit steakhouse in Boston.

    I'd typically agree that 3 hours is too long, but the ninth and final movie in a 4-decade long saga seems like an okay exception.

    As oppose to Endgame being like the 22nd film in 1 decade, that seems like super overkill to me.

    I don’t see a world in which a Star Wars movie ends up being a complete 3+ hours without anything that could be cut. I totally get fans wanting it and loving every second of it, but from a storytelling perspective I wouldn’t bet on it.

    I think it's mainly that I drink WAY too much coffee so by the time the movie rolls around I still have to pee whether I get a soda or not.

    I did see The Desolation of Smaug for the first time at a theater that brings food and drinks and as the movie kept going and getting more and more atrocious I just kept ordering martinis and got hammered.

    I've never been myself, but everyone who has ever mentioned going to Davio's says it is incredible.

    Im the ridiculous person who wants a mainline trilogy made in a series format rather than films.

    Also, I would nearly prefer to never be in a movie theater again.

    I always get popcorn for big movies like this. I'll occasionally get a beer before now that it's an option at my local theater. I generally don't drink anything for a couple of hours before the movie and then use the bathroom near the end of the previews.

    I'll get a hot dog, popcorn, or Milk Duds but practically never a drink.

    ha! I'm not crazy!

    But I do remember thinking it was weird because I didn't get one every time I saw it. I believe it was different theaters as well.

    God I wish. I just really love a good steak so when I have one it’s memorable.
