After finally completing Sir Paul Combs’s massive movie challenge I figured I was done with movie articles for a while. However, revisiting all those movies triggered my cinema memories and an article that had been on my mind for a while and can’t let go of until I have got it off my chest.

“Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!”

The title is a bit misleading as I have always loved going to the cinema. Back in the nineties, I used to go religiously every Sunday, and even if there wasn’t a particular film I was dying to see; I always found a movie that grabbed my interest.

Perhaps it is my age and becoming more and more irritable but after reading Kristine Laco’s fabulous and hilarious article below about movie snacks, I definitely need to take a chill pill before going these days. Conversely, if you do read this Kristine Laco then you may be so incensed that you will need a full pack of your own chill pills.

I am trespassing a little into Emperor Simon Dillon’s territory here as I know he has written…
