\"\"<\/a>Every time I think about the recently released actual calorie\/fat content of movie popcorn, it ruins the prospect of seeing a new movie. I\u2019m incapable of sitting in a movie theatre without the popcorn. In fact, theatre popcorn is one of the main reasons for going out to see a movie. <\/p>\n

I understand this is illogical, and that if too many other people felt this way, it would be bad for the movie industry. Fortunately, most people are willing to engage their rational minds at the theatre, but for me, considerations of whether I go to a theatre for the film or for the popcorn are moot, because I know I\u2019m not going to have one without the other. <\/p>\n

At home, I don\u2019t make popcorn every time I watch a movie. I subscribe to Netflix and pay for just about every premium cable channel, so there are plenty of movie-watching choices here. But at the theatre, I must have it. Of course there’s no fair comparison, because nothing we make at home is exactly like the golden\/fragrant\/caloric pile of pure bliss that\u2019s scooped into those bags and handed over the counter. <\/p>\n

Shall I go now, or wait \u2018til the movie\u2019s released on dvd and save my hips the punishment? Those aren\u2019t the only options, you say? Well, of course not, but mature choices don\u2019t play a role in this decision. <\/p>\n

Armed with this knowledge about the nutritional damage I\u2019m inflicting on myself at the theatre (I\u2019m including a link, below, to one of the many stories about this) I now have reached the same point as the over-stimulated, overwrought, pouting child, when the adult in charge, frustrated from trying to broker an agreement, asks, \u201cWell, then if that\u2019s the way you feel, would you rather have none?\u201d <\/p>\n

I guess it\u2019ll be none for me, until I really, really want to see a movie so badly (before the dvd release) that I will go ahead and wade into another grease-smeared bag of guilt. <\/p>\n
