For the love of popcorn.....

Nope. I was a nachos person. Now that calories just aren't worth it for me. I prefer to get some food before the movie and just drink water during. Popcorn makes me hungry, no matter how much I eat. And movie theater popcorn makes me feel bad the next day.
Yeah, if I go out to dinner beforehand, I may not have popcorn.

Some of these responses are confusing as the OP didn't ask for an opinion on her love of movie theater popcorn or ways to avoid it.0

When I make my own popcorn, after it's popped, I toss it with the spices of my choice (usually just super finely ground sea salt so I use less) and put it in the convection oven at ~110C (240F) for at least 10 minutes to dry up and become super crunchy. Those 10 minutes give me enough time to turn on the projector and choose a movie.
As Alton Brown used to say in Good Eats: "Your patience will be rewarded"
When I get extra kinky, I grind me some ultrafine aged parmesan and toss it with the popcorn and then it goes in the oven (no extra salt needed). Oh man.... now I want popcorn!
LOL. I know it makes you want some. I agree. I really enjoy my homemade versions as well.

There is no way you can go to the movies without eating the popcorn there .... That is just wrong! Ha ha ha I make popcorn at home either using a hot air popper or microwaving it in a paper bag ... When you microwave it tho, make sure you don't over cook it as it will burn easy .. I take mine out while it is still popping but the popping has slowed down. I am a little bit of a popcorn addict!0
