Dinner and a Movie (and a Movie, and a Movie, and a Movie, and a Movie)

Usually, my wife and I do a pretty good job of seeing all (or most) of the films nominated for Best Picture — unless one of them happens to be a British period piece. This year, we’re way behind, with only No Country for Old Men and Juno under our belts, with a tentative screening of There Will Be Blood penciled in for Sunday. If you’re like me (and if you are, yes, I do think you’re handsome), AMC Theaters has a deal that might help you rectify the situation. On February 23, they will be playing all five Best Picture nominees back-to-back; $30 gets you all five, and unlimited popcorn. Hit the link for locations and a schedule. (Hat tip: Pop Candy.)

Unlimited popcorn? That could get dangerous.

Am I the only one who finds popcorn eaters during a movie extremely annoying? Why must they package it in noisy paper bags? And I almost had words with the man sitting next to me during Golden Compass when he wrestled with a bag of Twizzlers for 10 minutes. WTF. This is why I can’t go to the movies.

Five movies back-to-back? That means sitting still for something like nine hours. If they throw unlimited Klonopin into the bargain, I’ll consider it.

I love going to the movies. However, once, I was watching Golden Compass, enjoying some Twizzlers, and this guy next to me was a real jerk…
