A Popcorn Predicament.

Going to the cinema is supposed to be an enjoyable experience is it not? So it really does not help that many of my memories have been hideously scarred by one particular occurrence that frequently ruined my day...

Yes you all know what I'm talking about. That stupid stupid stupid advert they always played right before the film that Always made me jump. I knew it was coming. I braced myself and still it never failed to scare me. The advert that unnecessarily involved fire and loud noises and seemed to have this big build up leading up to one big BANG at the end that had me flinching in my seat. Don't laugh and mock me. I was young.

Thankfully they don't play that advert anymore. They fill up the ridiculously long space with car adverts. It's a conspiracy. How to make people buy new cars? I know, trap them in a dark cinema with a really big screen and make them watch three minute long adverts of our new car driving up a mountain. Pure genius.

And my favourite part of going to the cinema has always been the trailers for other films. Why go and spend money going to see all of those new films when they take the best parts out and put them in the trailer? And it's an added bonus that you get to see about three or four trailers. Saves a lot of money.

Finally I finish with the ultimate question... The Sweet Popcorn or The Salted Popcorn? Salty all the way!
