Go see an early matinee at a large cinema and then sneak in to other films all day.

I've tried that a few times, but after just two movies, I hit a major wall. What's your record?

I've hit the triple feature twice. Never gone for number four. It's difficult to get that many movies to line up perfectly.

I've only ever done 2, but I've done it quite a few times. Never since I've been older than 28 though. I feel like I've done this with you before??

I'm doing this tomorrow, actually. Couldn't justify spending $11 on Iron Man 3, but when you toss the new Star Trek in it's okay, I guess.

Oh man. Totally ok. Don't even think on it.

I'm sure we did. Can you even remember what we saw together last? Did we see Where the Wild Things Are?

Yep. We saw it with your sister in law in a really narrow theatre, sitting in the back row. I liked the film, but honestly I didn't care much for the experience. Should of ditched the ladies, I don't think either of them liked it much.

I wouldn't be surprised if I'm out in the BC area in the next year. We should see a movie... or two or three.

Well for $20 you should get the movie plus popcorn and soda. Smart move though. I'm a 30 year old man who's totally not above sneaking into movies.

I feel like it's one of those things that I'll still do well into old age. In fact, once you reach 60 or so it'll become less frowned upon again, so why even let middle age stop you?
