Ok, why does it cost me 100+ dollars to see a movie in the theater?  And why does the popcorn fug up my system for week?  And do they clean these fuggin theaters anymore?  

are you getting the "fresh" popcorn, or the "reheated" popcorn that they made the night before?

Did they clean those theaters before?

I worked in the movie theater about 15 years ago and able to answer few of these:

Movie theaters don’t really make money of ticket sales.  They make money of popcorn, soda and etc.  Not everyone who comes to movie spends money on food so movie theaters inflate prices like crazy to make money.

We never reheated popcorn from the night before.  Went straight to trash.  The butter we used to make popcorn is garbage and what probably makes you feel sick.  Only God knows what synthetic crap is in it.

I can confirm that movie theaters are absolutely filthy.  Aside from floors and sticky spots, seats are usually never get cleaned.  I used to find used condoms, dirty diapers and much more on daily basis when I cleaned the theater.

    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
    • Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
