    Quoth Monterey Jack View Post
    I always have a backpack when I'm walking, but it seems like a waste to use it to hold a light jacket when it's 95 degrees out, just because I'm going to a movie.
    I carry a reusable shopping bag with my layers, when I think I might get cold. Especially a winter hat and gloves. My city is ridiculously changeable.

      I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the last time the seats were cleaned was when Maggie Thatcher was still Prime Minister *shudders*
      No, that's not the case. What I heard was that to get them cleaned the last time took a direct order from Churchill.
      Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.

        You guys have so corrupted me. When "reasons other than warmth" was mentioned, my mind went to "concealment for sexy time" not "ick barrier."

          Me too, and I don't normally think that way either. My other thought was that it was to smuggle in snacks. Both the theater in my home town, and the IMAX in my current town are pretty new. Maybe five years old. Still, I'm sure plenty of plague carriers have contaminated the seats in that amount of time.

            This is what I meant with my "other than warmth" comment.

              Mr Hero, that's what cargo pants are for. Now that Hubby is in his wheelchair with a backpack attached to the back, that's what we use. They going to search a cripple? Of course if you can finagle a female friend with a big purse, or someone with a messenger bag to go, that works too.

                Eh, I'm not charismatic enough to have a female friend go to the movie with me.

                  That's... the saddest thing I've heard today.

                    I see 85/90% of my movies by myself (unless it's something my Dad might be interested in seeing, usually stuff with a historical bent). Why do people think it's "sad" to see movies by yourself? I go to the movies to WATCH MOVIES, not to socialize with friends.

                      There's a difference between going to the movies by yourself, and not having a friend to go to the movies with. The latter implies a desire to go with someone, the former does not.

                      “There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
                      One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
                      The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

                        I don't think it's sad to see movies alone (I do it often when I travel) but that he can't get anyone to when he wants to.
