I've definitely done candy, and I have brought my own soda before. It just seems wrong to be in a dark theater and assault other patrons' noses with the smell of a philly cheesesteak or Taco Bell or a value meal.

Most movie theaters smell anyways. Unless someone was being REALLY rude about it, I wouldn't mind. I think we brought in KFC once when I was a wee one b/c we were eating it already in the car, but not all of it, just what we hadn't finished.

The movie theaters down hear that you can do fine dining at is the Muvico in Palm Beach and Cinebistro in Miami (there is one in Tampa also). I've been twice to Cinebistro and the meal was $50 for two and the liquor was $25 + tip (PLUS TICKETS!!). So while I LOVE it, I would never be against someone bringing in their doggybag from Chili's or their sandwich from Chik-fi-A. Times are hard and movie theaters have horrible prices. Just throw it away when you're done. Beside, most movie theaters here offer things like popcorn shrip & fries or chicken tenders anyways, so the only difference is you're not paying $15 for greasy ill-prepared food, only $8 from the place down the block or whatever. Food smells like food.

I've brought candy in with me, but never a meal. But I rarely go to movie theaters - the last movie I saw in a theater was Star Trek (in IMAX - awesomeness ) and that was months ago.
