Does this comment strike anyone as odd? Sounds like your going through a divorce settlement with Benji or Lassie or something. I can see why your folks have no problem with you heading off to the movie theater for extensive amount of time... keeps you away from the family pets and all.

Your parents make you pay for your dogs?

Well personally I'm not opposed to movie hopping, but it IS stealing. And the Bible DOES say not to ever break the Ten Commandments. Oh my, you're going to a low layer of heaven, a very low one indeed... 🙁

1. 20 bucks is a good deal. I get a few dollars for lunch every day, other than that I don't get any money from my parents.

2. If you're not a child, there's something you can do called "getting a job". 😖mart:

3. You should call the cops on your parents because making you pay for your dogs is both animal abuse and child abuse. 😐

Yeah i have hoped more times than not back in my day. Me and a frriend spent the whole day at the theaters doing just that. Of course i dont know that i would do that now that i am older. When i go to the movies i will usually pay to see two movies. If these two movies are not entertaining,which most times they are not, I find it hard to sit through the second. I dont really see anything wrong with doing this if your a young kid with nothing to do, and very low funds. Shit i have worked at two different cinema's. The managers know this happens, Most of the times they could care less, unless they catch you doing it blatantly. Ushers diddnt care eigther. If you did get caught sneaking in though, and you did it arrogantly enough to get the managers to care, you would be harpressed to be able to ever be allowed back in the theaters.

I think I figured out a way to solve Stormy's financial and movie-hopping problems:

Someone get him a job as a ticket taker at a theater. He earns cash and I'm sure he could see as many movies as he wanted to.

And for an extra $5 he'll give you a review of the movie as you buy your ticket from him.

I'll give him $2 if he doesn't.

LOL. You see? It's a win-win situation for him.

I have a job but all that money strictly goes in the bank 😖mart:

There my dogs and I wanted them so I have to pay for them.

No, they're your parents dogs. Everything under your parent's roof is technically THEIRS, you being still a kid.

And... why, may I ask, do you put ALL your money in the bank? Nothing wrong with saving some money up, but damn... If I were you I would want to spend at least SOME of it, and since you see so many movies, you might as well.

I really dont feel like I need to share all this with you guys but I do keep 20.And I do get money out of the bank...I bought "HALO" yesterday 😊

Your life seems so boring SD.

maybe that is why he lives on the edge and hops theaters?

I like living life a quater second at a time 😎 😛

damn, all your time must go to just realizing each quarter second that goes by.

yeah.its hard shock

I see no problem with theater hoping. Everyone knows theaters make their money via snacks than actual tickets. Why the hell would I want to pay 10 bucks for some crappy film? Theater hopping is just more ways to get more bang for ur buck

I know they charge us $4 for a soda and an extra $4 for popcorn we deserve to theater hop 🙂,but I also sneak my own snacks in so that doenst really count 😕

Here's a thought. Eat before you go, or bring your own candy.
You're there to see a movie, not cram sugar and cholesterol in your maw.

Yeah i agree with that. I mean if you are desperate enough to spend 5 bills for a tub of popcorn, and 4 bills for a bucket of soda then all rights you ever had to complaining about the prices are void after you cram that first handfull of buttery sin down your throat.

Teah i buy popcorn from time to time, i mean it is a tradition that makes a movie going experience more tangible, but i dont dish out 5 dollars for a serving i have no hope of finishing. I also dont complain, because i pay the price.

Theres a Wal Mart near the movie theater I go to and I usualy just get candy there. But I also buy a Large Soda and Nachoes. And that comes to $8.50
