You can safely concentrate on shovelling popcorn into your cake-hole, without fear of missing anything important.
And "popcorn" movies aren't always "bad" movies, are they? Why should I be made to feel guilty for eating a glad bag of mashed potatoes and a jumbo tub of kettle corn during The Passion of the Christ?

On a minor note, I found it funny that your handle is "cheapskate" and yet you spent a minor fortune on popcorn and other movie foods (well at least its a fortune to me at all the theathers where I live).

It's the type of movie that pork chops eat popcorn during because the only serious event taking place isn't the movie but whether or not you put enough butter on the popcorn.

Pop corn flick simply because it's a film that they will just sit back and toss the popcorn back on.

I only see about one movie a year, and if I do "splurge" on a small popcorn, I let it disolve slowly in my mouth as not to disturb others around me.

It's the sort of movie that won't get in the way of your enjoyment of eating popcorn. It lets you turn off your mind and just keep stuffing your face.
If the movie's too 'artsy' you spend too much time trying to read the subtitles, figuring out if you're watching a flashback or dream sequence, and trying to understand what the person just meant when they said, "Death is Love. And Love is Nothing. And Nothing is better than Death." and then you're stuck with more than half a tub of popcorn at the end of the film which you just wastefully throw away.
