This past Saturday I bought movie theater popcorn for the first time in over a year. I bought it last June for "Knight & Day" because, come on, it was "Knight & Day!" Cruise, Cameron, and a summer afternoon. What do you want from me? I bought popcorn this past Saturday for "Cowboys & Aliens" because, uh, the freaking name of the movie was "Cowboys & Aliens." Like, triple dog duh. I had to buy popcorn. And it made my stomach hurt really bad. But that's not the point.
The point is that when I buy movie theater popcorn I tuck it away and wait to dig into it until the movie I paid to see begins, whereas it seems most purchasers of movie theater popcorn woof down on it before the start of the movie and during the movie ads and the coming attractions and by the time the movie they paid to see fires up, they're all done. And then I'm the one guy in the theater eating popcorn. And because I'm a George Costanza-like neurotic I become worried everyone in the theater no longer eating popcorn can hear me eating popcorn and that they are all most likely getting annoyed with this lone popcorn-eater.
But I can't help it, and I can't because it makes no sense to me why someone would want to shell out so much for popcorn just to eat it all during AMC's "First Look." I came to see a movie and I'm eating my popcorn during the movie.
Am I nuts? Do you save your popcorn for the real movie or eat it all the moment you sit down? Or do you just refrain from popcorn completely? Thankfully I won't have to buy any again until next summer for "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter."Source URL: http://extravagancedeplumes.blogspot.com/2011/08/art-of-eating-movie-theater-popcorn.html
