Fantastic Four: First Steps

The new Fantastic Four movie from Marvel is looking pretty good. And to go along with it, AMC has released what it is calling the biggest popcorn bucket to ever be released. Standing tall at 17 inches, complete with LED lights, I have to believe them. This thing holds a lot of popcorn. And it looks rad. The one issue: AMC is charging $80 plus tax for this thing. Yikes. Ouch. No way.

This might be the first real sign that this whole popcorn bucket gimmick has run its course. How much longer before we get a $100 bucket? I know theaters need money, but this seems like it will just push people away.

And that’s thankfully all for now folks. Lucky for y’all, I cut about another dozen of these buckets that were just some character’s head. The hell was going on there, y’know? Like, who thought that was the move? And importantly, since these things are largely selling like crazy, why is it working? What is wrong with you all?
