ODD NEWS Moviegoer loses lawsuit over unpopped popcorn
ODD NEWS
NEW YORK - Movie munchers beware! A New York judge says popcorn purchasers worried about breaking a tooth on unpopped kernels should nibble carefully — or eat something else.
Insurance broker Steve Kaplan says he encountered a double dud while watching the movie "Superbad" at the AMC-Lincoln Square Cinema a year ago: His tooth hurt and the movie was awful.
Kaplan sued the theater to recover $1,250 for dental repairs. But Manhattan Civil Court Judge Matthew Cooper ruled that Kaplan could not reasonably expect every kernel to be popped.
Kaplan and the theater's attorney did not return calls for comment Monday.

"Yes, I think it's rude! Personally I won't be going to the site — I just think it's a place for people to rag on other people because they don't have anything better to do."

"I've heard of it. I hear it's just a lot of name-dropping and opinions of other people and things. These forums will always exist — it's just whether you want to be a part of it. It leans toward more negative stuff because names are not attached."
