    I saw Giada make this pizza popcorn on her show this weekend. I'm not sure how I feel about it. She put butter, garlic & sundried tomatoes in the food processor, then melted it on the stovetop & poured it over her popcorn. Then she topped it with parmesan & a sprinkle of oregano. I don't like raw garlic much, so it would have to simmer a little bit. It sounds good, but also like a lot of work when just melted butter is yummy enough.

    that's exactly my thoughts on it.

    Mmmmm....exactly why I had to stop watching The Food Network! Lol. Too many yummy recipes!

    I love movie popcorn. i'll eat lighter during the day. I drink a lot of fluids to flush the excess sodium.
    I enjoy it and try not to worry about it too much.

    Yep. I'm with you!

    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.

    I always get disappointed when I eat "non-homemade" popcorn because it's either soggy or just not crunchy enough.

    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.

    Yep its 100x better than "butter buds" I also use it on steamed broccoli instead of real butter.

    I love popcorn. I will sometimes make a HUGE bowl of oil popped popcorn, add my butter and salt, and call it a meal. I really freaking love popcorn.

    I sometimes eat popcorn for breakfast. After all, it's a whole grain!

    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!
