Popcorn at the Movies
Can anyone tell me why they insist on calling the oil they splat all over the popcorn "butter" when they ask you if you would like butter on it? There's enough of that shit left over in the bucket that it looks like I dumped oil from an oil change in it. Geez...

How can they call those long thin things sausages ?
I've always found that it's much better and cheaper to take your own stuff into the movies, although I am rather partial to the chilli cheese nachos they have started doing at our cinema. For everything else, I just take it in with me.
i.e. huge bag of M&M's and a bottle of drink. That's me sorted, and £5+ better off !

Your cinema must be cheap..... bag of M&M's and a couple of drinks at our local multiplex cost around £10 lol
a night at the movies is around £30 for 2 now
better to buy the biggest HD TV and best cinema sound you can and get a DVD  (bonus of not sitting next to a noise making pop corn eater) |

That is meant for an oil change, you're probably going to one of those new all in one cinemas...............movies, snacks, and a tune up/oil change.

Why do we keep going to the movies when it is so bloody expensive?
A movie with my wife and daughter cost me $60.00

I very rarely ever go to the theater to see new movies unless its of Star Wars caliber. I like to wait and Rent DVD's. It's much cheaper and much more comfortable to watch from home..

At our theatre they have "REAL" butter and "NOT REAL" butter. The real stuff isnt really oily but it makes you sick. The not real stuff is really oily but it doesnt make you sick and it tastes better.

Even cheaper, wait until your mate buys it and copy it off him and burn it...

Anymore, unless it's a special treat, like when my daughter brings home all a's on a report card we wait until it's out on video and watch it at home.
