Do like I do... just don't go to the movies if you don't like something about them. Me, I hate paying $4 for a soda, so I don't go. Easy.

The theatres can't win. As their profits sank, they tried not to raise the ticket price by charging ever more for snacks. However, now the snacks have become so expensive that people walk into the theatre with soda, nuts, and candy in their jacket pockets or backpacks.
And I can't tell you how many fine little movies I've gone to see where there were only a half dozen to a dozen other moviegoers there. The advertising, the costly popcorn and soda...all that stuff helps the little movie get out there where otherwise it wouldn't be seen.
