My Two Cents - Movie Watching Essentials

Everyone watches a movie differently. Some people like to sit all the way in the back...others prefer the front row. Some like the aisle seats...some right in the middle of the row. Popcorn, soda, candy, nachos...some or all of the above...and some just prefer to smuggle their own refreshments in from the outside. So, here's the way I prefer to see a movie:
Where to sit...I prefer a back corner. In the old days, you needed to sit towards the center of the theater to hear it best. However, in today's world of digital surround sound, seating placement is pretty much an irrelevant point. The advantage to me of sitting in the back row is that you don't have to worry about anybody sitting behind you to bother you. And unless a person in front of me is about eight feet tall sitting down, I have nothing to worry about there, either.
Refreshments. A general "must-have" for movie viewing. However, nobody is enthused about paying $9.50 for a bag of popcorn and a soda. If I have the time, I generally prefer to smuggle my own refreshment in to the theater. Besides...not many theaters serve my beverage of choice (Mountain Dew...what were you thinking?). There are rare examples here and there (in my area, the Showcase Cinemas serve Pepsi products). If I do smuggle something in, I seem to lean towards either Burger King or Chik-Fil-A. No particular reason...just the way I roll. If I'm feeling saucy and decide to splurge on the over-priced movie theater food...I'll go with popcorn (just plain...I have no desire to coat my fingers in greasy fake butter) and a drink (Mountain Dew if it's an option, root beer if it's available, Coke if I must). At home, my refreshments of choice are Orville Redenbacher's Movie Theater Butter popcorn (or home-popped, depending on the mood), Mountain Dew, and peanut M&M's.
Another big preference becomes when to go to the theater. The local theaters here have bargain Tuesdays ($5 for any show, all day long). They also have bargain matinees on other days of the week...but that will still run you around $6.50 a ticket. I have Wednesdays and Thursdays off...so those usually work best, but if I get off work early enough...I have no problem with going to a later show on Tuesday night.
So...Tuesday night. Save me the back corner seat...and if I'm wearing a big coat with a lot of pockets...you know what I brought.
