Here's the thing. I will never take it for granted again. Of course, I always enjoyed going to the movies, but it's something that was always there. I have a whole new understanding of truly appreciating something and it extends beyond just the movies.

That said, there were times where I was about to go out to the movies and I would be like, eh I will catch it next time. Never again. Never. Again. I will now go every time I get the chance.

Until the theater closed in March, I never realized just how many Saturdays and summer afternoons I spent at the movies. It's kind of bumming me out. It's like someone said, "Hey, remember that place you love to go? Well, no more!"

I just bought the family a projector and a 200 inch screen. I miss the movies so much!

Meh, I could have double that and it still wouldn't be the same as going to the movies. There's something about going to a place. In a theater, I'm a captive audience. You can't tell me when you're watching a movie at home you aren't distracted by the family, the phone, the dog and a ton of other things. In a dark theater for two hours, the world turns off. That's a lot harder to do at home, no matter how big your screen is. Also, no way you're getting that movie popcorn taste at home.

All true, but I gotta do something.

Movie popcorn is the best.

Going to a place is my only chance to get family members to shut the hell up while we watch a movie.

Well said but slightly different for me. I have a phone disorder... ALWAYS checking it, in my hand, etc. It is the only time i will not bring it out. I get fully engrossed in the film. I totally get lost in the experience... it means so much to me. At home I could watch the best movie ever but I disconnect from it time to time. I never do in the theatre. Servant said it best up thread... I WILL NEVER TAKE IT FOR GRANTED AGAIN.

All of this.

I bring my own salt shaker.

Now.. I have to be honest. I have tried all the big chains in the US and BY FAR the best I have had is Cineplex. Do you have those there? They have free packs of flavour.. SO GOOD. I always get Salt and Vinegar. My wife is Dill Pickle and white cheddar. haha Oh man, I would die for a bag right now.

OK, are you ready for your minds to be blown?

One afternoon I was at the theater and I happened to buy a bag of popcorn. I was at the butter station and a guy turns to me and says, "Do you like butter in the middle of the bag?" Naturally, I said yes. "Want to know a trick?" he said. He tells me to unwrap a straw and stick it halfway in the bag of popcorn, line up the butter nozzle with the straw's opening, and start pumping the butter. BOOM! Butter in ALL the layers, not just the top. My mind was blown.

I echo many of the things said above, with a few exceptions. I never eat food or snacks in the theater. I do however bring a couple beers in (IPA's). Of course I silence my phone. I also try to catch the earliest show possible. I love the fact that there are almost zero distractions at ~10AM showings. The only drawback to early shows is that there is no infectious (whoa, CV-19) laughing at comedies.
In the past I went to ~50-70 movies a year at an actual theater. I will never take it for granted, and aim to see as many movies in the next 12 months (if there is anything to be seen, particularly the rest of this year) as possible.

Seen this done SO MANY TIMES. That is not... however... butter. Look it up. It doesn't even chemically resemble it. I would NEVER put that on my shit. lol Here at Cineplex you can use that OR you can buy real melted butter behind that counter. I don't get either as I find it makes the popcorn wet like.. haha

Your story reminds me of this bigger guy (really big). Came in and got two X-L popcorns. He goes over to the counter and proceeds to bring out a HUGE stainless steel bowl from used his jacket. Now.. his buddy has in the meantime been filling empty coffee cups with the plastic sauce. He takes a FULL CUP and dumps it over the popcorn in the bowl. He then adds the second XL bag and I kid you not holds it under that dispenser for a good 5 mins. He must have had 15000 calories in that. THEN... he takes a salt shaker out another pocket and puts about half the shaker on the whole thing. Then walks on with his massive bowl into the theater!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've actually done this! My local theater layers it for me. For a while, they had salt packs shaped like long straws to evenly distribute the salt.

Also, has anyone ever just gone into a movie theater and just bought popcorn and walked out? I've done this a number of times.

[Randall Flagg]

Thats weird.
Like walking into a massage parlor and ordering a condom to go.

Burning

Might be too mosaic like and slow burner (heh) for some, but those who stick with it will find their patience rewarded with a deeply metaphorical tale of yearning, the perils of class division, and a good ole fashioned mystery. 5/5

I used to work at a mall when I was in HS (mid 90s) and there were 2 theaters in the mall. My manager kept an empty popcorn tub in his office and every couple of days he would walk down to the movie theater, get it re-filled for free and bring it back to the store and share it with us employees.

These days you can't even get into the theater and to the snack counter without buying a movie ticket first.
