I ASKED FOR EXTRA, EXTRA BUTTER, AND THEN WENT BACK FOR MORE BUTTER

I shamelessly inhale theater popcorn. It's actually pretty freaky. We saw a screening of the Internship at this location ten days ago and the humungous popcorn container that we finished while there and refilled, is actually still being slowly picked at. It sits on my kitchen counter and I eat a piece here and there. Pretty much every time I walk by.

I have never seen a large popcorn as big as this one. Pretty good deal since it wasn't more expensive than movie theater popcorn anywhere else. $13.75 for the Combo deal with large soda. Oddly, it took waaaaay more butter to make it flavorful than I've ever had to ask for. I actually sent my husband up for more butter a little ways into the bucket. I couldn't do it, since I'd seen how much had already put on. I won't tell you how many salt packets I added. I figure salt is good for my weirdly low blood pressure. And popcorn is good for my soul. Artificial popcorn butter has been linked to Alzheimer's Disease and is good for nothing. I'm not sure if Diacetyl (the ingredient) is in theater popcorn, but I've stopped eating the microwave stuff.

The theater staff were very nice and talked to us to see how we liked the movie after it ended. The theater was clean and seats were comfortable. As I mentioned, we were there for a screening, so that's possibly why security sat in the room with the audience with some sort of futurist night vision looking equipment, scanning for pirates. I am curious if this is done for every showing here. I was afraid to check my phone and was waiting for a notary call; but that's their job. Fun experience overall!
