I haven't seen a dollar theater in the area in years - maybe in other parts of town. I'd much rather pay full price and go to Alamo Draft House and have a yummy meal and some sangria. Mmmmm . . .sangria. Damn diet! Haven't had it in a while!

:confused::confused:
I know the difference...see my response about Seasonol, quoted in your message...the result of growing up in movie theatres that my dad ran...:)
Another thing...true movie theatre popcorn is popped in coconut oil. It has the best flavor...canola and peanut oil is yukky for popcorn. Of course, coconut oil is the oil highest in cholesterol!:eek:

FWIW, you can buy movie popcorn salt (butter-flavored, cheese, or plain) at most grocery stores. If you really want the $1.00 experience at home, I have no idea on how to get your shoes sticky enough, though!

#1 - i'm not sure i've ever seen movie theater salt... however i do recall OLD BAY being at the condiment island near the ketchup and stuff. old bay on popcorn (or anything, really)... yummmmm

#2 we used to have a dollar theater near my parents home, now its a church or salvation army or something. i miss it soooo much. don't think there are any more dollar movies around this way, but the theater near my house (not a major chain) has $5 tuesdays or something.

I love going to the movies and I hate paying $8.50 for a ticket. If it's a must-see-now movie, I'll pay full price, though if I can, I'll go to a matinee where it's $6.50.

Otherwise, I wait for it to come to the $1.50 theater.

And I rarely get popcorn at the movies, so I really don't care what kind of salt it has on it.

Why the hell are you going to make this huge deal about salt, seriously, get your head out of your ass and welcome to the real world. They are already doing you a huge favor offering you a movie at $1.00, you can't even rent a DVD for that cheap that I know of. If it bothers you that much do like every other good movie goer in america and pack some in your purse.

For the record, I had no idea this type of mysterious salt existed, and I could really care less.

I know what you're talking about on the salt, you're right it is different. I think it might be a different salt (i.e. different metals) but it def. doesn't taste the same.

I like the dollar theatre sometime, they show fight-club once a year but I usually miss it.

To quote others on GC: "RIF!" I said I don't put salt on my popcorn at the theatre. That's if I even buy popcorn at the theatre. The popcorn is usually plenty salty for me as it is.

LOL at the salt fight. Only on GC. :rolleyes:

Redbox. $1 a night. Love it. :)

lol

Daemon, you know what's so bad about it is I have it on DVD, but my tv is tiny and unfortunately I don't have a home theater. Well, I'm a poor student.:(

I love that movie, so I really wanted to see it again on the big screen with great sound. Unfortunately I ended up leaving the minute I walked in though. It smelled SO bad in there. I just couldn't take it.:(

Whatever that may be.

We have $1.00 movies and on Tuesdays its $.50. Woohoo!!

It is a little dirtier than the other movie theaters, but I guess that comes with the territory. I like it because the food is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much cheaper than @ the 'regular' theaters (probably 50% cheaper).

The movies aren't all that bad either, they usually show up @ the $1.00 movies right before they go out on DVD.

I can't believe movie prices now. I remember coming to GC back in what? '05 and people kept talking about how they would spend $10 on 1 ticket, and I kept thinking "well thank God ours is only $5" and now our movie tickets are $10+. Its ridiculous.

Luckily they opened up a new theater @ our local strip mall where the movies are only $5 and the food is hecka cheap. Hopefully it will stay that price for a while. I hate paying $6.50 for nacho, $7 for popcorn and $5 for a soda.

Nathaniel, I'm not making a huge deal out of anything. You are. Why are you so mad about it? Seriously. Because I like that kind of salt on my popcorn, I have my head in my ass?:confused:

I could care less about the price, but I'm not subjecting myself to a movie theater that smells.

:)

I knew there was someone on here who knew what I was talking about. Exactly. The regular table salt doesn't taste right on popcorn.
