Bartender killed the dog.
Director gave a hint, saying it was the person with a bandage on their person. Bartender had a flesh colored bandage on his hand.

Does anyone else feel bad about not eating at the movies?
I mean, that's where theaters get their money. They get a pretty small slice of the actual ticket sale. But at the same time, I am not gonna pay $5 for a bag of Skittles, and I don't drink at the movies because then I might have to take a bathroom trip and miss some of the film
I'd never sneak any food in, and every once in a great while the mood strikes me and I'll pick up a bag of Snickers, but still
It feels like I'm contributing very little to a business that I enjoy so much

If you go with another person, a large drink and a popcorn with free refills isn't unreasonable, at least here (10 bucks I think)

I usually get popcorn and soda when I go, or at least for any movie that's a "big deal" for me -- like a sequel I've been waiting for or anything that feels like an event (like a new X-Men, or The Avengers, or possibly something not related to comics at some point). I don't eat/drink those things that much in everyday life, so it's somewhat part of the experience.
I also make sure I go to the bathroom before the movie starts, so I almost never have to get up during. And I'm good about waiting until the movie starts to start eating, so I don't typically need or want refills.
Having said that, I don't get to the movies nearly as much as I'd like, so it's not like that's happening once a week or anything.
Edit: Chincy, you just reminded me of an episode of Nathan For You where he tries to enforce a "no sharing" policy on theater snacks.

The place where I go to with all my friends has $8 tuesdays, which is probably the cheapest any theatre in sydney gets. Most other places are at least in the high teens, even with student discounts and stuff. They're actually super reasonable when it comes food and drink, and they've even got a pretty cheap bar, and most movies only have one or two movie ads in front of them (although the same business ads again and again each week). I'm honestly not sure where they get their money from.
A friend once snuck in a bag of beensprouts, tho. That was a fun snack to have.
I used to go to see movies at a place where tickets were $4 and a large popcorn $3
They made their money through a bunch of games and small rides you walked past on your way to the theater. Like a Chuck E. Cheese's with movies, minus pizza
I think it's possible that my body has learned "don't pee, there's a movie on"
When I saw Guardians on premiere night, as soon as the end credits stinger was finished, it just hit me like a truck that I REALLY had to pee, incredibly bad
I hadn't even felt the urge before that

Speaking of which, I ate some Skittles recently and boy have my taste buds changed because they were not appealing to me anymore.

I'm a big fan of movie tavern here. Decent beer for not outrageous prices, some pretty good food, some amazing dessert. And the ticket prices aren't too bad.
I hate the .. AMC I think off one of the major highways because the base price of an adult ticket is $12 now and they don't even have big fancy seats or huge screens to make up for it.

His darkest secret is all his friends called him V Diggidy
Or maybe not I don't know reports are conflicting
This is coming out soon.
Satans..... hints.....
like if I said "if you call me V Diggidy one more time I swear I will fucking impale you"
Okay no fooling, when you said "New Zealand" I said "Oh! I wonder if Bret or Jemaine is in it"
then I thought "Well that's kind of silly to assume they would be in every movie filmed in New Zealand"
AND THERE JEMAINE IS. RIGHT FREAKING THERE
GOD DANGIT NEW ZEALAND
(i love you, kiwis)
Also, I would probably take the threat of impalement seriously if it were coming from someone nicknamed "the Impaler."

Because Peter Quill's mom wasn't a fan and those tapes only hold so much.
If they couldn't get Uncharted or Bioshock off the ground I have zero faith this will actually get made.

My mom and I went to go see Guardians of the Galaxy
Tickets cost $18 total for the two of us
We each got a medium popcorn and a bottle of water
That was a total of 22 dollars
We could've gotten a large pizza from a good pizza place for that same price
It's not illegal to eat food and you shouldn't feel bad trying to save a few bucks.

...I really want to trust the cast: Jason Bateman, Tina Fey, Timothy Olyphant, etc...
The trailer does absolutely nothing for me though.
Jason Bateman/Tina Fey/Timothy Olyphant as the leads in a TV show: very good sign
Jason Bateman/Tina Fey/Timothy Olyphant as the leads in a movie: very bad sign
Outside of those locations, I don't know what else is available in your particular region of the US.

Get movie sized candy for a dollar
Take it in
Fuck paying that ludicrous price.
I actually don't like doing popcorn because then I need to drink water which increases the possibility of me needing to pee during the movie.
Nothing ruins a movie like having to pee for the last half hour distracting you.
I don't know if I've actually seen a sign in any of them saying so in the last decade.
