-- the lights go down and they have to eat. You've just been out to dinner with them so you know they're not hungry; or they told you what they ate for lunch, or whatever. But the lights go down and they pull out their food.

I'll have a soda or water now and then, but I really don't think eating during movies is necessary or desirable. I can sit still without feeding myself for a couple of hours, and I don't get what makes people think that they MUST eat during movies.
