Somebody needs to protect you from yourselves, you fat stupid fucks. Just be thankful there are smart, thin, educated men and women whose commitment to social justice means they are willing to make the effort to save your miserable, bloated, butter-drenched lives.
I mean, honestly: if you could do it yourself, is there really a chance in hell you’d pay $12 to see Men In Black 3?
QED.
movie popcorn sucks ass anymore anyway the nannyfags have already bled it of any real flavor
You know what sucks ass more – having to read yellow caricature scribbles.
Who goes to the movies? I’m not spending upwards of $50 to either get my eardrums blasted out by the sound system or spend most of the time letting some douchebag get back to his seat or telling the loud talkers behind me to be quiet.
I’ll wait for the DVD.
Hi TR! Where ya been?
Yet another reason why NYC was better when the homicide rate was through the roof. These losers literally don’t know what to do with themselves now that the streets aren’t running with blood.
Hey, it’s Flag Day — nudge — remember — nudge nudge? The day instituted by that President Wilson guy who formally eschewed the Constitution, pronounced it an obsolete relic worthy only of the trash heap! Wonder why he’d make a fetish of a flag?
Oh, come on sdferr. Wilson was elected a hundred years ago, and spoke in an archaic form of English nobody today understands. But as a contemporary of the Constitution his critique certainly carries some authority — just ask Ezra Klein!
Flash! FlashFlashFlash!

“There never was a time when impatience and suspicion were more keenly aroused by private power selfishly employed [take that, you fucking popcorn eaters — sdf]. When jealousy of everything concealed or touched with any purpose not linked with the general good or inconsistent with it more sharply or immediately displayed itself [sneaking your outside food into the theaters — sdf]. Nor was a country ever more susceptible to unselfish appeal or to the high arguments of sincere judgment [that’s our Mayor Bloomberg! — sdf]. These are the unmistakable symptoms of an awakening [it’s like, religious, peons! Catch the fever! — sdf].

Earlier last century, until the 70’s or so, popcorn in theaters was popped using palm oil. Palm oil is required for musselmanes cooking, somewhat like in Kosher cooking, but dictated by the Quran. I love the smell when we pass the processing plant, it brings back memories. There are plantations and processing factories south of Playa de Jaco here in Costa Rica, but most of the oil is now tranported for export to be used as fuel. I also read somewhere that this is a new program in Southeast Asia, cut down the jungle and plant palms for oil.
And you can still buy it here to cook with, as you can also buy coco oil. Traditional gallo pinto, (beans and rice), is cooked on the Carribean coast with the coco oil and red beans not the black, as is more common in most other areas.

Good job, TR! I get tired of slaying threads all by myself.
Gulermo, my mother worked at the concession stand in a movie theatre when she was in high school in the 40s. All of the popcorn came in giant bags they kept stacked in the back room and was already popped. She just poured it into the display case to warm it up. Here we thought it was secret movies only popcorn.
My mom. What a buzzkill.
Kinda OT:
Had a sandwich called “Some Pig Heard It Through The Grapevine” for lunch today. Sausage-raisin patty with whipped cream cheese and honey-pecan sauce on pumpkin bread French toast. I’m still trying to process the flavors. Very different in a good way.
Nanny Bloomberg would ban this in a New York minute.
No popcorn, whole milk, or large sodas. What’s really important is that fifth graders know how to perform oral sex. Because they love us so much.
I paid $7 to see Men in Black 3. I sort of enjoyed it a little. Will Smith is kind of noticeably getting too old to play the smart assed younger partner.
It was only $7 because it was a 2D Saturday matinee.
Forget the movies, try the duffelblog
Will Smith married a tranny
A tranny and a beard, all rolled up in one!
I think they’ll fail on this one. Soda is one thing, but popcorn is hardly some kind of nutritional nightmare. On what basis do you ban popcorn without banning a ton of other marginally nutritious snacks ?!

automatic or manual?
Two things here. This is now the burden of proof we need to ban things in this country ?
Second, soda is most certainly a lot worse than popcorn. Soda is basically pure sugar, and not the regular kind, but the allegedly nasty high fructose corn syrup kind of sugar. Popcorn is effectively just carbs, but not processed carbs like sugar or flour. The carbs in corn are not going to be bad for you like processed carbs. Even if you put butter on it, its VASTLY better for you than soda.
Unbelievable. Aren’t these people supposed to know something, anything ?
It isn’t the popcorn per se, but the phony butter-like crap that’s unhealthy. Unfortunately, it’s the only thing that makes that shit edible aside from a 40 ounce Coke. And why do Ju Ju Bees get a free pass?

Dentists’ lobby. Jujubes pull off crowns, thereby creating more work for the DDS crowd.
That is some serious stuff right there Dicentra, who knew the folks pulling off Domain Denial of Service attacks made money from crowns pulled off by Jujubes. The world just got more complicated.
