A good thing about living in NY is that you have the choice of the Sunshine Landmark Cinema, which offers a startling aray of healthy choices. Organic Cookies! Soy Dogs! It's almost bizzare, but very much apprecited.

Or you could walk into the AMC Empire 25 on 42nd street with a 5 course meal and wine pairings, and they wouldn't bat an eyelash.

HAHA that's so true. Off topic, but have you ever been the Chelsea Clearview Cinema when they have the classic's night, headed by Heda Lettuce, the drag queen? It only just reminded me because once she was talking about how getting to see these movies was a bargin, but then stopped herself and was like- "Well actually you don't have to pay for it. That guy who takes your ticket? He doesn't get payed enough to run. Just go." Ah, the droopy-eyed ticket takers of the world.

And Chelsea Clearview's ticket takers are the biggest bunch of crackheads you'll ever meet...I should know!

Whoever tells me that faux buttered popcorn is not good for you will have to fight me on this

Yes, movie snacks are unhealthy, but no one has mentioned the immensely high cost of these items. Sometimes movie snacks cost more than the price of a ticket!

The moral of the story is, bring your own food or don't buy it!

There will be no need to fight you, Mr R. You'll be dead.

I wish they would make the popcorn without the crap.

As I said earlier, I adore popcorn. I make it at home on my stove, but I don't use butter or bad oils and it still tastes amazing. It's possible...they're just ****s.

Mass/Cheap producing = bad quality
We're still learning this? The reason they charge so much is because they can, not because it cost so much to pop the popcorn and pour liquid heart attack on it.
In the city, you can basically sneak anything in. A friend of mine brought a full meal, and just ate it in the theater. I was embarassed, but luckily, it wasn't live, and even MORE luckily, Patti wasn't there to wack us with her PattiPowers.
