If you work at a cinema (condolences), and you see someone smuggling snacks in, no you didn’t.
See what now?
Exactly
That new Vin Diesel movie. I heard it’s got explosions and shit.
A long time ago, as teens, we used to go to the movies quite often. Ofc we didn’t buy the local overpriced popcorn but brought our own snacks, smuggling them, all sneaky like. One day the guy who was admitting us in was like “you should just be honest guys - no need to hide them”. Of course this was not forever but for a couple of months we could bring inanything because we were not tied by the snacks being hideable.
Upon such bricks a world worth living in can be built.
I mean…theaters ONLY make money on the consession stand. They basically break even on ticket sales, because of having to pay the movie studios. So if they make you bring the snacks back to your car BEFORE you go in, I get it.
But once you do go in? Once you’re in the theater? No. If I were someone NOT with those people, I’d be angered that I followed your rules, I paid my admission, I bought from your concession stand, and now MY movie theater experience is being ruined over some fucking skittles???
I’d me more angry at the employee than the kids/mom. It would cause me to find a new movie theater.
Here’s the deal. If theatres can’t survive if I don’t like their bad expensive snacks, Hollywood will have to figure something else out. Maybe they’ll have to hire the same twenty faces less often, or take a more reasonable cut, who knows. Not my problem.
No, all that happens is the movie theaters close. Back in the 90s, in my area we had what we call quarter cinemas. These were theaters that showed movies that weren’t in theaters anymore. So, older movies. Instead of $6.00 per ticket, it was $0.25, and kids under 12 were free with a paying adult.
So you could get one adult to bring 6-7 kids in, for $0.25. Problem is, nobody bought the snacks.
So now, we went from having 8-9 mega plex’s, 3 mall cinemas, and 4 quarter cinemas, to now having 2 mega plex’s, and thats it. Hollywood doesn’t care WHERE you buy your ticket. It doesn’t affect hollywood. It only affects movie goers.
When I lived near a cinema like that, I was happy to buy its snacks and even the occasional beer. The snacks were good, and only slightly marked up. They had great taste in film, and tickets were cheap.
It was a good business model, and I supported it. Nowadays it seems they’ve moved on to higher ticket prices and more “hot” movies. I wish them luck, but I would not likely continue to support them if I was still in their area.
It’s a bad business model. The way it’s supposed to work is that bad business models die. If that’s not how it works anymore, all I can say is that projectors are affordable and you can make really good popcorn with ghee and powdered salt. A little turmeric gives it that yellow color. Enjoy.
People not going to the movies because there is no convenient theatre does affect Hollywood.
But action and reaction have a long delay. Don’t give up your rights just because a Hollywood exec won’t make his bonus this year. You need to cause economic pain for the problem to be fixed.
Have you seen the TV in your living room and the snacks in your kitchen? Turns out that’s a better business model than someone else owning an extra big one far away and making you deal with their schedule and crowd.
Hollywood can do what they did during the pandemic and release everything straight to streaming. Movie theaters are not necessary any more. As a bonus, pirates get to see the best quality versions on the day of release.
I’d love to see more outdoor cinema nights instead. I grew up in an area that did those and it was amazing. I’d even step up to run it, if there was a venue.
I remember going to a drive in movie once when I was a kid. I wish those were still a thing - it was nice to have a big screen, but also some privacy from other people - but alas, technology marches on!
This is why I’m relieved that so many theatres have realized getting a liquor license is the way to go. The profit margins on canned booze sold to captive audience are insane, and then I don’t even feel slight guilt about the burgers and fries I smuggled in to munch on! They definitely make enough off the 2-3 beers I’m buying to offset the popcorn I was not going to buy regardless.
I’ve actually been lucky enough to visit 2 theaters that were basically restaurants. Instead of rows of seats it had booths and tables where the staff would come and take your order. It was typically the “2nd running” of movies (older movies that have been taken out of theaters but not yet released) and would be a double feature for under $10. Definitely was an awesome experience and I hope there still open since this seems like an answer to the whole “we have to sell food at x2 the price” problem.
If they only make money on the concession stand, then their business model is shit and they should fail. Nobody is obligated to buy that shit and there’s no reasonable grounds for policing someone’s eating.
… is it smelly food or something? if not, who cares. There’s fewer and fewer people watching movies now anyways why chase them away man … it’s so dumb.
I snuck a whole ass poke bowl in the other day. I tried to sit away from people.
Ehhh if it’s not old, it’s not gonna be smells enough for others a meter away to smell… and if it IS old, not a food idea to eat anyway hahaha
I mean if it was my job then yeah I’d say something. It sucks you can’t bring in your own snacks but I’m not risking my job so someone can eat their own Skittles during a movie lol
You could live with that?
Lmao it’s someone’s movie snacks. They’ll live
The snacks aren’t the point. Do you have like, aphantasia?
Please do explain your point.
Do yoy have like, aphantasia
Not that I know of
“many struggling cinemas depend on the sales of pricy food and drink”
Fuck you, what they charge isnt “pricy”
its fuckin exploitative. Its why they ban you bringing in snacks, in the hopes you’ll pay 20 dollars for 5 cents of popcorn aind 7 cents of soda.
also, You expect anyone to have sympathy for the theater after
“My niece asked nicely: ‘If you’re calling the police, are they going to kill my mum?’” one of the women told the newspaper. “And he laughed at that stage. He looks directly in her face and he said: ‘Yeah, maybe we’ll find out.’
At that point, with comments like that, you’d be tempted to give the guy a real reason to call the police…
Because you start publicly urinating in the lobby?
I mean the article does seem to understand both sides of this
its fuckin exploitative
It’s literally how they pay for the seats you’re sitting in. The money you pay for the ticket goes to the studio, not the theatre.
A poor business model on their part does not constitute a moral obligation on mine. Places like this are more than welcome to figure out ways to stay in business without being unreasonably fucking exploitative.
Why the fuck do you people think there is an obligation? A) don’t go or b) don’t eat. If you go to a business, you play by their rules.
Buncha fucking children that want everything their way, or they bitch and complain on the internet. Just don’t go and stfu about it?
Wait’ll you find out I also sometimes go in ten or fifteen minutes after the posted showtime so I don’t have to watch the ads they got paid to show me before the movie starts.
What is your point?
Yeah I’m sorry but fuck cinemas. I used to love going to the movies in the theater. It was a great time and it didn’t really cost all that much. Now if I want to see a movie in the theater I have to plan at least 2 or 3 weeks ahead to save up the money necessary to go. The ticket prices are too high the cost of the food is too high and they’re getting dickish about it. And it’s not fucking inflation either, they are blatantly overcharging for everything. Quite frankly they can all fucking close for all I care.
You realize that is just one side of the story, coming from the person who benefits the most from the theater employees looking badly. I don’t know if what she said is true, but there is no video of it, so I would take it with a huge grain of salt.
Found the theater owner.
Seriously, God forbid someone being reasonably skeptical.
Well yeah obviously
Apparently not obviously because people seem to be buying her story at face value, despite if you watch the video she insults the guy for his accent, and I’m being massively downvoted for pointing it out.

And yet the entire Cinema industry is crying like babies cause “no one is going to the theater anymore”.
They can all go fuck themselves.
They agreed but the employee apparently insisted on sitting next to them to monitor the snack situation.
Instead of… telling them to take the snacks back out to the car? There’s no situation where that isn’t weird to me. Were there no other theaters to be cleaned, patrons to be helped, tickets to be sold, anything else, they just have this extra guy with literally nothing else to do but watch this family not eat the food they brought in?
He had power to flex, and by GOD was he going to flex it!
Pathetic, small men who relish in wielding any power they have to fuck over normal people make my blood boil. From the lowly movie theater grunt in NZ to the plethora of elected officials in the US, they all need to get knocked down a peg. Let people live their lives for Christs sake.
Yea seriously. The LAST type of person that deserves it is the dipshit that will flex it.
Yep, seriously, is he thinking if he’s extra hard on these visitors then no one else will smuggle food in? Because they’re not earning any more money by disallowing this family to eat their snacks.
And they’re hopefully losing customers over this shitshow, too.
Instead of… telling them to take the snacks back out to the car?
Where I live in you can bring stuff in but you can’t snack it during the viewing. Also, did we know that they came in with a car?
I was planning to see a movie this weekend, but this story just reminded me how greedy and anti-customer that whole industry is.
its not nearly as good as any of the other despicible me movies. felt like they had no idea how to tie everything together plus the kids are barely in the movie and dont do anything
I believe the Despicable Me series peaked with the second one. Everything after that feels like soulless cashgrabs to sell Minions merch.
The only good thing about the fourth movie is the opening music.
i thought minions was pretty good
I hope this cinema (or the chain it belongs to) goes out of business. What a hostile way to treat your customers.
At least it wasn’t in the US. Calling the police on someone for anything has a non zero chance of just getting them straight up murdered. So i was happy to see it was in NZ lol
Considering how things are in the US, calling the police on someone pretty well warrants attempted murder in return.
Where I live it is pretty normal to openly bring your own food. You can bring whatever you want. Bring your own ice cream and cheese burgers for all they care.
They do sell some stuff, but its not overpriced.
A few years back, one cinema chain said they were going to stop allowing this. Then their competitor advertised that they still allow you to bring your own food in and then the first cinema chain backed off.
It’s become so expensive over here. We were out last week to watch the new Pixar movie. Tickets were 12€ per person (so 24€ for the two of us) and we’re eyeing nachos with a cheese dip and a medium drink to share. That would have added 20€ to the bill and we decided that was was just too much. I understand that ticket sales alone don’t keep the little cinema afloat, but 20€ for maybe half a bag of store-bought nacho chips and a drink that’s 95% tap water? Come on. 20€ is almost a cooked meal for two at an entry-level restaurant.
It’s probably a slight mistranslation so I don’t mean any offense but, I’m finding"entry-level restaurant" hilarious.
Imagine Alexander, who after years of hard work and dedication to his craft finally moves on to a professional level restaurant. On the way in he sees an overconfident novice kitted out in the newest gear, silk napkin smoldering at his side. Escaping from singed mustache hairs a rasp can be heard, “Don’t eat the fire… Don’t eat… The fire.”
“Poor guy never stood a chance, came here having never even seen a flambe?? I’ve trained for this, I’ve got this, I might not have the best gear but those forks and knives become a part of me when it’s time to dine”.
Alexander reassures him self, attempting to squelch the nerves steaming from his soul.
His teeth grit, hands clench, breath ceases for just a moment upon hearing the words.
“Do you have a reservation?”
Suddenly the seriousness of the situation struck Alexander, then with a cool confident sigh he knew he would succeed. No plate, bowl, or flaming pan would stop him.
Entry-level as in “lower price bracket”. Just one step above take-away food.
I snuck a whole Arby’s French Dip into that movie. Carried the au jus cup in my hand and walked right by the staff.
Ask me to leave all you want, but call the police? wtf? That’ll be WHY I sneak food in the next time. This time I just needed actual dinner, and y’all don’t even sell real food here.
I walked in with two footlong Subways once. They’re like…eh…just clean up when you’re done, please.
This. Regardless if you brought it in on bought it at the cinema, don’t make a mess or leave garbage behind
My god daughter dropped the bucket of popcorn. 😞
We were regulars and recognized by them. We also would have cleaned up even if not asked haha.
The girl next to me just tonight at Deadpool brought a full meal in a Whole Foods paper bag. At a theater with a full bar and some hot food like pizza and chicken wings.
You haven’t lived until you’ve snuck all you can eat fajitas from Applebee’s into a movie.
That implies you snuck all you can eat fajitas out of an Applebee’s
Damn, dude. A French dip with au jus? That’s way better than my shitty French fry story…
They did refuse to leave, I’ve seen a video posted by the people who got kicked out, and even their own video makes them look pretty bad.
Wow, what morons. Never let them get you for criminal tresspass. Even your average Karen should have the sense to leave once the cops are about to be called.
They weren’t nice people. Or particularly bright.
“My niece asked nicely: ‘If you’re calling the police, are they going to kill my mum?’” one of the women told the newspaper. “And he laughed at that stage. He looks directly in her face and he said: ‘Yeah, maybe we’ll find out.’”
My man’s finally flexing the full power vested in him as cinema popcorn popper, and it is glorious!!
It’s not the nature of power. Sometimes it’s just the nature of peoplw to be week-old cockswabs
Here is the original posting from New Zealand Herald which has video of the incident (1 of 3 near identical pages, that website is a mess). I searched out the real one because that linked article is just horrible and unnecessary (idk why he felt cool putting “The only things I’m planning to sneak in are sleeping tablets.” at the end).
For anyone wanting to get riled up, NZ Herald also has this wonderful little opinion piece from Ryan Bridge (a local broadcaster).
Ryan Bridge is wondering where people’s shame went when it comes to breaking the rules. This is not the most important story that you will hear today, but it grinds my gears. It’s a small, seemingly insignificant event, but I think it speaks to two things that I absolutely hate about the world that we live in right now.
The opinion article is just a shit show from what sounds like a pretty horrible and privileged person.
Thinking you are above the rules is privilege and self entitlement.
Following dumb rules just because they are rules shows a lack of critical thinking skills
Also, if the rules say you get to charge 500% the MSRP on shitty junk food, I am allowed to steal your profits by not being an idiotic consumer.
There is a singular reason why theaters are struggling; their misunderstanding of the profits they should be generating.
The model has always been based on food sales from back in the early cinema days. Theaters have to pay a lot of money in fees to get the film reals, and tickets basically just offset that. To get a profit, it’s food.
The model has always been based on food sales from back in the early cinema days.
That was almost 100 years ago. If they haven’t updated their business model in a century idk what to tell you; the model is outdated and inadequate.
If your business model fails because I’m not stupid enough to pay $18 for a small bucket of popcorn, your business doesn’t deserve to exist 🤷
You can be mad at it, but that’s the way the corn pops, fella.
I download cams and haven’t paid for a movie ticket in over a decade. If they want me to buy tickets they can make movies that are worth the ticket value.
Maybe if that happens I’ll return to the theater to balk at the snack prices lmao.
I’m not sure why you’re taking exception with me for pointing out how an industry I have nothing to do with operates.
Mindlessly accepting authority is far worse and leads to fascism.
You can choose not to go to the cinema. The options here aren’t “accept or disobey”.
You can entirely remove yourself from the situation, given the fact no-one is forcing you to go into their private premises.
Unlike actual fascism in a country where escaping the government is, at best, uprooting your entire life. Or worst, illegal / risking your life / impossible.
I’m on the side of business here. It’s private, their rules, etc. My comment was more a response to their appeal to authority.
it starts with skittles, and ends with a holocaust.
Seriously, the people carping on about the fascism reeealy need to get some perspective on life I think.
Oh good grief 🙄
So, theater patrons and owners need to get together and tell studios to stop expecting to receive 99% of ticket sales money.
In rhe UK (at least the part i live in), they dont stop you from bringing your own food in. I think that staff know that no one wants to pay the crazy prices for the food they sell. If i could buy the snacks they sell for the prices that the shops across the road are selling them, then i wouldn’t need to go to the shops across the road. Maybe thats not possible for them, maybe they need to find a new revenue stream.
Movie theatres make almost nothing from ticket sales. They have to pay a huge lump sum (upwards of $100,000) up front just to be able to get the movie and show it for a month. Often they simply lose money on it! So the crazy price of snacks is an attempt to recoup their investment faster and hope to get some profit.
The other model is for the theatre to simply pay 95% of ticket sales to the movie studio for the first week (and a bit less as the weeks go on). This essentially guarantees the theatre loses money on the film (due to all the other overhead that easily eat up that 5%) but it’s less risky if the film is a failure. Either way, they only make money on food!
So they need another revenue stream. If i am forced to pay high tickey proces and high snack prices, im going to wait for the film to come out on a streaming platform and watch it then.
Lots of people do the same. Its the reason most films ive been tonsee recently are in empty cinemas where i basivally get a private screening.
The industry at large is failing and has been for a while.
Rent-a-cinema, just let dudes rent the entire screen for bachelor parties or something so they can play on it or watch whatever they want. Make it in the hours the cinemas aren’t showing anything and bang, free moneys
I guess. Skeleton crew, someone to see you in, someone to serve you drinks and snacks and someone to work the projector. bring a data pen with your videos on it and give to them to plug in and play.
Or log into your streaming servitheand hook your device up to the projector.
It would need all kinda of restrictions and protections for the cinemas but its not like that couldn’t be worked out in a room somewhere. Private parties would be great.
If it became lucrative then pay more staff and capitalise on it.
Movie theaters already do that here in Canada. Though it’s usually rented out to companies to have movie nights for their employees.
But this is usually only offered on weeknights. Weekends they probably won’t do this because they tend to have more ticket sales those days.
So not sure how this would work for a bachelor party. Would you have one on a weekday? And they may not be able to permit people to drink alcohol in most places for legal reasons. They also wouldn’t be able to show whatever people wanted without approval from the copyright holders. Fair use covers you showing your friends whatever movie you have in your collection when you’re at home, but it doesn’t cover a business doing this.
We have a local cinema that offers bookings for events here, too. There’s a lot of behind the scenes jank to get through that many people don’t even bother.
Personally I like going to see movies in a theater. I even run a little movie group. We go out and talk over food , then hit up a movie. It’s a nice night out. I don’t want to see them go away entirely. The theater I go to is independent and the people who run it are cool. They gave my group a free tour of the projection area where they not only have new projectors but some old equipment they preserved. Fun fact: the bulbs got so hot that they could be dangerous and a special leather vest was worn whenever they worked on the projector in case it exploded.
The group only goes on Tuesday nights because the movie is $5.00. so yeah, in a time when everything is so expensive it feels like you can’t do anything, I understand to complaints. Tipping is like that too. It’s gotten out of hand.
But honestly, this is nothing new. I’m pretty old and it’s been this way for as long as I can remember. But calling the cops? Come on! The stupid thing is, movie theaters survive mostly on regulars like me and that woman. She’ll probably never go back there again. So they’re just shooting themselves in the foot.
$5 movies? Where is this, I’ll be there right away. (most of the cinemas in my country start at like $10 USD per ticket…)
Yeah, it’s only on Tuesdays. Must be their slowest night or something. Wednesday also has $5.00 classic movies, stuff like Jaws and The Shining and that even comes with a free small popcorn. Pretty cool. I really like that place.
It’s in central Florida. I know …Florida. who da’ thought?
This is also mentioned in the article
So it is!
Yeah, in my entire time of going to the cinema and sneaking snacks in a backpack, not a single member of staff asked me or other movie goers about it.
I think it’s only questioned if you openly bring in say, a bag of minstrels of a share bag of doritos.
I mean shit, the smaller hotdogs that VUE sell are like a fiver which is an absolute rip off. You’d think with popular films coming out they’d make a killing with the revenue from the tickets being sold so food prices wouldn’t be that shite.

Food in general is one reason I haven’t been to a theater in decades. I hate listening to the endless crinkle of wrappers, the shoveling in of popcorn, etc. I really don’t want to smell the stink of the burger and fries you brought in or the crunching of the bag. It is bad enough when someone brings their smelly meal onto a plane and I have to smell it for an hour.
Damn, I’m sorry to hear that. Food has always been my favorite part of the experience.
Yeah I’m like even if the movie sucks, I’m sitting in the dark eating, so it’s not all bad
Yeah seriously, smelling all the delicious food is part of the movie-going experience. The local theaters at in my city sell real food now so these days it’s more than just popcorn and hot dogs.
I grew up in theaters as my dad was a projectionist. You couldn’t pay me to go into a theater again since I was 18, what a miserable experience it had been every time I’ve broken that rule since. People in public are fucking annoying in so many unique ways.
Misophonia; it’s fairly common. My local cinema usually does one or two special screenings for people with autism. I imagine those are quieter overall.
Personally, I don’t mind- it’s part of the whole ‘going to the movies’ ambience for me. As long as it isn’t terrible smelling or people are intentionally annoying with it.
I like movies and I like the atmosphere at my local cinema. I’m going there almost every week. Most of the time I bring my own snacks. I think they just ignore me because I’m like…their best customer, lol. :D
I do order a drink every time. But eating popcorn or nachos every week sounds like a nightmare, and that’s all they have there.
I actually go to the theater for the popcorn but stay for the movie. I may have a popcorn problem.
Di du Di du didudo Di du Di du didudo Do du didudido didudido didu dodido
if you talk with some of the workers, they will often toss out the popcorn at the end of the nigh. Ive been know to take in a trash bag and fill it up.
That’s halirious. I’m going to have to try that one day.

These ones I really enjoyed in the last few years:
- The Whale (whole room was crying at the end)
- The Quiet Girl (surprise Irish movie that made my emotions come out)
- Spy x Family - The Movie (great humour)
- Civil War (shocking images, the mood change was brutal)
- The Boy and the Heron (my first Miyazaki experience, what a wild ride)
- Wonka (I’m not into musicals, but this was awesome as fuck)
- Inside Out 2 (great orchestral soundtrack, well-written and relatable)
- No Hard Feelings (worst trailer of all time, but the movie was very wholesome and funny)
- Furiosa (I’ve watched that in IMAX with Dolby Atmos. FUCKING awesome.)
- Robot Dreams (Cute animation + Twin Towers, nice combo)
- Encanto (Disney + great plot + emotions)
- To Catch a Killer / Catch the Killer (great crime movie!)
- Barbie (they criticize Mattel and it’s really empowering for women, I liked it)
- The Batman (dark, gritty, brutal - that’s how it’s supposed to be)
- Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (I can’t even describe how awesome this is)
- Dungeons & Dragons (I never played DnD, but this was well-written, creative and entertaining)
- The Super Mario Bros. movie (great humour and Jack Black does an awesome singing performance)
These movies are solid. Not great, but still very enjoyable:
- The Fall Guy (cool stunts!)
- Challengers (a bit weird, but I liked the message at the end)
- Fly Me to the Moon (solid acting, interesting premise, not every joke works)
- The Bikeriders (a movie about a biker gang. Cool.)
- Dune Part I + II (great SciFi flicks, but veeery long)
- The Teachers Lounge (we produce one good movie per year here in Germany. This is one.)
- The Holdovers (good acting, but the plot was stolen from someone else, sooo…)
- Migration (very well written for a childrens movie)
- Next Goal Wins (funny soccer movie)
- The Creator (omg, those visuals!)
- A Haunting in Venice (good mystery crime movie, but don’t expect to be able to solve the riddle by yourself)
- M3GAN (another murder puppy movie, but pretty modern)
And these movies are pretty bad or just disappointing:
- Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (Family Drama: The Movie)
- Problemista (I wanted to like it, but it’s just weird, unfunny and incoherent)
- Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (the disappointing fourth entry of a great trilogy)
- Miller’s Girl (this movie is just an excuse to put Jenna Ortega in tight outfits)
- Demon Slayer: Hashira Training movie (half of the movie is just a rerun of the last episodes, fuck you)
- Madame Web (bad writing, bad CGI, bad everything)
- The Beekeeper (Jason Statham kills everyone, but it was just boring)
- Wish (all bad things about past Disney movies combined into a soulless new one)
- Killers of the Flower Moon (way too long, laziest fucking ending I’ve ever seen)
- The Equalizer 3 (Walking around and nothing happens - The Movie)
- Falling for Figaro (an opera movie with the most cliche romance plot ever, total garbage)
- The Little Mermaid (all underwater scenes are dark as fuck, what is this?)
- 65 (Jurassic Park with no budget and Adam Driver)
…and then there’s also “The Zone of Interest”. I wouldn’t say I enjoyed it, but it’s definitely an experience. You could’ve heard a hairpin drop at the cinema and it was packed with people. No one bought popcorn. I wish every fascist here in Germany would be forced to watch that one and think about their stupid beliefs.

I wasn’t lying when I said that I go to the cinema almost every week! :D Tomorrow I’ll watch the new Deadpool movie.
Sounds like they can benefit from a partnership with a local pizzeria
What’s the policy on bringing raw materials and making it in the theater? It’s not technically outside food and is prepared on the premises.
Thinking a hibachi stove or an electric blender.
It’s not technically outside food
I am not sure how you convinced yourself of this
Raw popcorn kernels are not digestible ‘food.’ Oil is not food. Salt is not food.
Combine. Add heat. Et Voila! Someone complain, bring in bags of powdered chemicals, beakers, reagents, and bunsen burners, and go to work.
It’s all in the technical margins.
All 3 of those things are tax-exempt where I’m from, because they’re food
Worth a try though
Tax-exemption opens up a whole other promising venue. Hibachi and a chartered accountant at the next movie night.
This could work.
If I bring my own food and consume it indoors it is indoor food. If I ate it outside, it would be outside food. /s
If I had to guess the idea is the food comes to the theater in a truck, too, is that also “outside food”?
Realistically though I think everyone knows you’re supposed to buy the food in the theater - everything else is people being cute
How big are your cargo shorts? You think no one is going to mind you chefing it up during trailers?
