The independant movie theaters in NYC seem to be the only places where this isn't such a huge problem. The Angelika has a nice little cafe in the lobby with good food for not-so-insane prices. That way people sit, eat and talk BEFORE the movie. I think every place should be set up like this.

Thank you! Thank you!
I was sitting in the theater just yesterday behind this woman who just kept pulling shit out of her bag. Reese's Pieces, M&M's, bags o' chips and some sort of hard candy that must have been wrapped by some cellophane sadist because it took this woman an enternity to unwrap each one.

I've sat through some long ass movies and I understand it's nice to have a snack--I've been known to grab some popcorn myself a time or two--but if you're carrying a small drugstore counter display around with you in your bag, then maybe there's a bigger issue here that needs addressing.
