Do you like movie popcorn?

Brandon, Spencer Harwood, and Matthew Butler

Brandon's preschool took a field trip to Tinsel Town movie theater this week! It was great fun as they took us behind the scenes at the movies! We saw the projectors, how they load the film, looked into the theater from above (fun perspective) and shown the very powerful light bulbs that 'project' the movies onto those giant screens.

Then, we went behind the snack counter. You know how you think they are always trying to make you buy more? Well, they are. Posted above the door which leads to 'behind the counter', was Upsell, Suggest and Thank......

Also, during the popcorn demonstration, our young, but qualified, guide told the kids the reason they put the yellow salt on the popcorn is so that you really like it and want to buy more (addiction?)! Then, she gave them all a sample of freshly popped corn and told the 4 year olds that if they liked it to have their parents bring them to the movies and buy them some popcorn! I guess since it was a free tour, they were free to brainwash!

Next we went into a theater to watch 3 or 4 short cartoons and each kid was given popcorn, Sprite, a poster, pencil and ruler! Brandon thought he'd hit the jackpot!

Brandon...the amazing disappearing Spence (he doesn't like pictures) and Matthew

Emily, Angie and I let the boys sit down front by themselves so they could feel big. We could hear them laughing and talking to each other loudly the whole time! Priceless!
