Why is popcorn costly in a cinema center?
Popcorn can be relatively expensive in cinema centers for several reasons:
1. High demand: Popcorn is a popular snack choice for moviegoers, and its demand is often high in cinema centers. As with any product, when there is a high demand, the price tends to be higher.
2. Concession revenue: Cinema centers often rely on concession sales, including popcorn, to generate a significant portion of their revenue. Since ticket sales are sometimes split with movie distributors, cinema centers may price concessions, such as popcorn, at a higher margin to make up for the lower profit margins on ticket sales.
3. Operational costs: Producing and selling popcorn in a cinema center involves various operational costs. These costs include purchasing the raw materials (popcorn kernels, oil, salt, flavorings), equipment maintenance, staff wages, packaging, and marketing. These expenses contribute to the overall pricing of popcorn in the cinema.
4. Exclusive availability: Cinema centers often create a sense of exclusivity by offering popcorn that is specifically made for their establishments. This exclusive branding and packaging may justify a higher price point.
5. Value perception: Popcorn has become synonymous with the movie-watching experience, and people are often willing to pay more for the convenience and association of enjoying popcorn while watching a film in a theater setting. Cinemas capitalize on this perceived value and charge accordingly.
It's important to note that pricing strategies can vary between cinema centers, and factors like location, competition, and local market conditions can also influence the cost of popcorn at a particular cinema.

There’s a certain subgenre of action movie that goes like this: we have an ordinary(ish) man who wants to go about his business, but then some tragedy happens and his family or loved one gets killed by the mob, or the gang, or the cartel, or the government, or whatever. So he levels up, goes on a rampage and takes out everyone that wronged him or was involved in the murder of his family or loved one in the goriest way possible and it’s glorious.
There has been Discourse about how this works; about how the women in these stories mostly exist for the sole purpose of getting violence enacted upon them (see Stuffed into the Fridge for more). They’re not characters, they’re props to be disposed of, or exist solely for the motivations of a man.
Peppermint kind of gets around that because its protagonist is a woman. And that’s kind of… it when it comes to this movie. I mean it’s The Punisher, right down to the “family gets gunned down close to a merry-go-round,” except the main character is played by Jennifer Garner.
It goes like this: Riley North is a suburban mom whose family is financially struggling when, on her daughter’s birthday, her husband and child are gunned down in drive-by shooting by the cartel. Turns out her husband was offered a job robbing the cartel, and though he declined to take a part in it his name was still noticed by the cartel and they killed him. Making matters worse, the cartel has paid off enough people in the justice system that the men who did it walk free, despite Riley’s testimony. So five years later, Riley’s back for revenge, and goes killing all the men who wronged her.
Let’s get this out of the way: Peppermint is not a particularly smart movie. There’s no explanation as to how Riley North became an absolute badass. The Department of Justice gives a rundown of her buying guns and getting involved in mixed martial arts in her five-year gap, but there’s not a hint as to how she got those skillz. Where did she learn to fight? To shoot? To break into buildings? To recognize explosives? No explanation. A lot of these kinds of movies get around this by having the protagonist be military or ex-special forces, or in the case of Columbiana, trained by a former gangster. Peppermint does no such thing; Riley is explicitly a soccer mom before all of this happened. We get no indication that she’s a badass until we see her in the modern sequences gunning cartel members right and left. Mind you, it’s still awesome, but if you wanted the movie to make more sense than that I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed.
It’s a pretty straightforward story, and I can’t exactly say there’s much about it that will surprise you. The story goes almost precisely how you expect it will go. There’s only one exception in my case: there was one character I spent the entire movie suspecting was secretly evil, but in the last act of the movie the narrative takes a sharp swerve and it turns out that I was wrong. I don’t know if this is the use of a clever red herring, or just the movie fumbling the writing on this point. Really, with Peppermint, it could be either.
You might get the impression from this review that I’m saying this is a dumb movie. And… yeah, it kind of is. If you want a dumb action movie to fill in your evening, then yeah, Peppermint is going to fill that void. And that’s fine. But I doubt it’s going to be on anyone’s “Top Action Movie” lists and I do think it’s too predictable and poorly-thought out to be a good action movie. Yes I liked it, but objectively speaking there’s not much to it.

Gonna watch the 1990 #TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles movie and eat my very first bag of pork rinds ever tonight! Since seeing this movie in the theatre back in 1990 when I was 11 years old and watching Michelangelo sharing them with Donatello, I always wondered what in the heck they were and tasted like. I could never find them here in Nova Scotia, Canada until last night when I found a 70g imported bag at the grocery store check out. The 29 year wait is finally over lol 😆 . . #tmnt #ninjaturtles #90smovies #porkrinds #junkfood #moviemunchies #moviesnacks #donatello #michelangelo #tmnt90smovie https://www.instagram.com/p/B2o-taGlWbr/?igshid=16dgbp4gyxyy5

Why is food so expensive in theatres?
Food in theatres tends to be more expensive for several reasons:
1. Convenience: Theatres offer the convenience of having food readily available within the premises. This convenience comes at a premium cost, as customers are willing to pay extra for the convenience of not having to go elsewhere for snacks or drinks.
2. Overhead costs: Running a theatre involves significant overhead costs, including staff wages, rent, utilities, maintenance, and film licensing fees. Theatres often rely on concession sales to offset these expenses and generate profits. Charging higher prices for food helps cover these costs.
3. Limited options: The selection of food in theatres is usually limited to snacks, drinks, and fast food items. Unlike regular restaurants that offer a wider variety of meals, theatres primarily focus on quick and easy-to-prepare options. Consequently, the limited menu can result in higher prices.
4. Revenue sharing: In some cases, theatres have revenue-sharing agreements with film studios. Theatres may have to give a portion of the ticket sales back to the studio, leaving them with limited revenue from ticket sales alone. To compensate for this, theatres rely heavily on concession sales to make a profit.
5. Experience enhancement: Movie theatres aim to provide an immersive and enjoyable experience for the audience. Part of this experience involves enjoying snacks and drinks while watching a film. The higher prices charged for food contribute to the overall ambiance and enhance the movie-watching experience.
It is important to note that not all theatres have expensive food options. Some independent or smaller theatres may offer more affordable prices or allow customers to bring their own snacks. Additionally, pricing policies can vary across regions and individual theatre chains.

The King (2019)
Why is it that when a medieval story is portrayed in movies, it’s a level of grandeur that doesn’t seem quite realistic? Hollywood drama, that’s why. So, let's talk about The King and how it’s everything that other medieval movies are not.
For starters, the only thing that really drew me in for this movie is that it has Timothee Chalamet. He’s been in some other films as of late that have really propelled his career quite high. However, it’s this movie’s character that he melts into so seamlessly that it almost helps you picture what King Henry V looked like.
Mind you, if this film is anything remotely accurate to the real story, of which I am not sure, this is surely accurate in at least some realm. Historical strategies and numbers, especially from this era this took place in, are surprisingly low and politics were quite archaic. The King does so well in the layout and adaptation of how the system of a country and monarchy would play out, it’s astounding.
One of the things I mentioned before was Timothee Chalamet. But when I found out the rest of the cast, I was a bit surprised. There are faces you come across that provide a solid performance, yet are oddly short lived. Names like, Ben Mendelsohn, Joel Edgerton, and Robert Pattinson. It seems as though this is the choice to highlight Timothee’s performance.
To clear the air here, I am not one to be drawn to this genre. In fact, I agree with the review on Kingdom of Heaven. Though I am pleased on how this movie was made. This is a proper medieval drama not chocked full of grotesque war scenes, but one of a true story (or relatively true). Also, Timothee Chalamet needs to be in more movies. Just saying.
One Love,
