And please stop with the butter, it absolutely reeks! In any case, I never buy popcorn, I use to get them for free when AMC had that old reward program (the new one is terrible)Castorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15317266954630009383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-9252740144689043332011-08-04T16:22:29.296-05:002011-08-04T16:22:29.296-05:00Yeah, I only ever eat popcorn for big summer movie...Yeah, I only ever eat popcorn for big summer movies, in other words movies that don't require quite as much attention.<br /><br />And I definitely remember the giant bag of popcorn. The Cobblestone/Shack Summer. And, in fact, Jacob, you might want to consider just taking a trash bag to the theater the next time you go and filling it with popcorn. You'll get some really strange looks then but you can avoid as many strange looks down the road. Everybody wins!Nick Priggehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17895803287589438170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-3243379865425533472011-08-04T16:06:02.990-05:002011-08-04T16:06:02.990-05:00When I was a kid, I used to save my popcorn until ...When I was a kid, I used to save my popcorn until the movie started. Now I'm just so damn excited to eat the popcorn that I don't bother to wait. My friend Addy says you can pay more attention to the movie if you're not eating popcorn (and therefore eats most of it beforehand), but it seems that what you're seeking here is a distraction from some shitty movies, so maybe that is the whole point.<br /><br />Do you remember that time you brought the huge garbage bag full of popcorn back from work? And it lasted for weeks? This would have been when we were 19 or so. That was so awesome.<br /><br />Also, I never thought about getting the large and refilling it to take home. That's a pretty fantastic idea. Though I can see the challenge in bringing it home on the subway (or a bicycle, in my case).Ashley Kuehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415395772169833392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-35030559473445467272011-08-04T11:24:48.752-05:002011-08-04T11:24:48.752-05:00Brad: Ah, I see your point.

In fact, the concessionist did try to upsell me on my small popcorn, but I stood firm.<br /><br />Jacob: That, my friend, is true love. Or self-inflicted torture. Definitely one of the two.Nick Priggehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17895803287589438170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-12602756894879006702011-08-04T10:54:56.934-05:002011-08-04T10:54:56.934-05:00I don't save my popcorn, but I do get the refi...I don't save my popcorn, but I do get the refill and bring it home. This is not because it is so expensive that I want my money's worth, nay. It is because my wife loves movie popcorn more than, well anyone else I've ever met. Let me tell ya, you get some strange looks getting more popcorn after the movie is over and just walking out the door. There is no cool way to sit on a subway with a full bag of popcorn in your lap.Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15973553608686822743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-49947928368442538362011-08-04T10:53:40.811-05:002011-08-04T10:53:40.811-05:00It sounds to me like everyone involved is doing it...It sounds to me like everyone involved is doing it wrong. This is America. We're supposed to buy the 2-gallon bucket (with extra butter, which is totally OK because we only got a small Diet Coke as the drink and they cancel each other out), allowing us to continuously eat popcorn throughout the preshow, the trailers, the film, and the walk back to the car afterward.
