    I never have them put the butter shit on popcorn at the theatre. It's already butter flavored without that shit.

    Depends on the theater. The ones around here start with just straight popcorn, which is nice for those of us who just want a tiny bit of butter and salt, rather than gobs of it. Though you have to watch the attendants like a hawk to make sure they don't gob it on when you ask for 'just a tiny bit of butter'. Apparently tiny = 1/4c for a medium bag of popcorn. :x

    Luckily our theaters have self serve butter so you can put as much or as little as you want on it. I'm actually starting to by popcorn more often at the theater now.

    It makes sense that the theatres in your health-conscious area start with plain popcorn.

    Needless to say, in fair Alabama that's never going to be the case.

    Eh, what Pony says makes sense I guess. And you're toughening up, which is good.

    Personally, I wouldn't go to a movie with the intent to, as Pony said, endure it. I'd rather enjoy something than make it a benchmark, especially when dropping money on it.

    and that is why your Jedi training will always be incomplete

    I think you know how I feel about movies. It would be a desecration, in a sense.

    Now, rollercoasters or drop zone? Yeah, put in terms like that I get it.

    It is my understanding that the 14th amendment to the constitution declares that the government shall not deny "any person" the equal protection of the laws.

    So I guess Scalia has a point in that (As far as my limited knowledge extends) there is no precedent that a woman counts as a person

    Oh my god, Pixar movies

    one of the worst movie-going decisions I've ever made was seeing Up with a bro in a theater full of children. I cried so fucking hard. And, bless his heart, the bro didn't say a word.

    WALL-E upset me pretty badly, never watching that again.

    i didn't cry, i just had that empty feeling of terrible sadness and i wanted to curl up and die

    Well to be fair, equality for women was most certainly not what the Founding Fathers had in mind.

    And I'll gladly accept that if the Supreme Court hadn't decided that the Founding Fathers felt that corporations were people.

    Because that's almost certainly not true either.

    Well it's funny because your mom doesn't feel the same way abut sex (i'm saying she's a hooker)

    At least she gets sex, when your mom lifts her skirt bats fly out and her snatch makes a creaking noise like a haunted house's door opening.

    Alternately you should only watch Pixar films.

    I love kids movies. So much. I went to see Tangled and Megamind this year and I loved them both. Here's the thing though: I am the biggest pussy ever. So like, at the end of Tangled, I was totally out and out crying. If I was not surrounded by tiny little kids I would have been happily bawling. This is a good thing, I really enjoy crying at the end of a movie and then oh it's ok everyone gets together and there's a party! I cried like three times at How to Train Your Dragon it was wonderful.

    BUT

    I will not be mocked by a seven year old shit

    I got misty-eyed at several scenes in WALL-E and Up.

    I question the humanity anybody who didn't find the beginning of Up really reallyy sad.

    I'm not seeing him opposing equal protection, I'm seeing him saying if you want it (since we don't fully have it yet), we need to make the laws for it. Sounds like he's saying we can't constantly go back to the well, that the Constitution isn't the answer to all our problems.
