Now, food has always been a tricky business at the movies. Not for the cinemas themselves, of course; theyre making way more on sticky, plastic popcorn and ten-gallon soft drinks that many people claim are responsible for their second mortgages. No, its the eating of the food during a movie thats the tricky part for us. Whether its popcorn-munchers, packet-crinklers or drinks-slurpers, the only good eater is a silent eater for our money. Simply bringing the food into a screen is bad enough as you know what youre in for, but its the folks who are aware that their food is noisy who make life worse for everyone as they open and consume their not-quite meals with such agonising slothfulness that every tear of a Revels packet and crunch of a pocorn kernel is like nails on a chalkboard to the rest of us.
