I've gone twice in the last year and a half. When I do go, I avoid the lines by buying my ticket early, either electronically online, at the theater, or just swing by right after they open up and walk up to the empty window.
We don't go to a "hit" movie showing for at least a month. You'll usually have most of the theater to yourself by then. Also, we try and go during the week, during the middle of the day, right after the theater opens and before school lets out. (If the movie is presumably that good to get me there, I don't mind taking some personal time off work to see it).
My wife takes a large purse into the theater. Lots of snicker bars, milk duds, popcorn brought from the house and in gallon ziplock bags. Sodas...well, we bring them in also. I just can't see spending 20 bucks for two small buckets of butter-on-top-only popcorn and a couple soda's.
Cell phones in theaters, babies in theaters, should not be allowed. I think it should be grounds for immediate removal if caught with a ringing cell phone, or if you are talking on it during a movie. This is no more a violation of your first amendment rights than you not being legally allowed to shout "fire" in a theater if there isn't one... When I go to a movie, I want to hear the movie, not a cell phone conversation (usually teenyboppers) or a baby crying.
Jeesh Sigarms, I could rant about theaters with you until my lips fell off.
But, I do enjoy the "movie" experience when it's a good one.

Edit: I just went back and read Eddie's post. That is disgusting, but makes perfect sense...people run out in the middle of the movie to go to the jon, do business (1 or 2) and haul butt (pun intended) back out to their seat...
My wife carries a bottle of the liquid hand sanitizer everywhere she goes. I use it a lot, especially in public places. I will remember this thread next time we're in a theater!
