So Jeremy said Bourne Ultimatum<\/em> was “explosionary.” A good word. I should probably see the movie.<\/p>\n

Fast forward through some planning<\/em><\/p>\n

Jeremy’s friend heard a rumor that you could bring your own food into the AMC theater.<\/p>\n

We called the theater while walking there to try and verify.
\nThey said “We’ve never denied entry to anyone with food.”
\nWe were still uncertain, because this seemed to good to be true.<\/p>\n
