<p>Today was mine and Jamie's second anniversary. (fanfare). We celebrated with brunch at the Four Seasons. This had sentimental significance for us, as this is where we stayed on our wedding night before leaving for Jamaica on our honeymoon. During our original stay there, we arrived at 8 pm and left the next morning at 5 am, so we didn't get to enjoy the gardens and fine dining. We knew we were in for a good meal when we realized that the person that arrived ahead of us was none other than Queen Latifah, recent star of Chicago and Bringing Down the House (that's what they call 'range' in the acting world). She didn't have a reservation, but that, of course, was no trouble. The hostess took us through the brunch buffet on the way to our table. I don't really remember everything that was available, but it was quite an extravaganza. I had waffles, lamb shank, watermelon, strawberries, pineapple, salad, some kind of egg on an english muffin, lemon chiffon, chocolate covered strawberries, and an apple tart, all topped off with a mimosa. Needless to say, it was a good meal, and no, I don't plan on eating dinner. Unless, of course, Jamie makes something. </p> After brunch, we headed to the ArcLight Cinema, where they still show movies in Cinerama. Jamie and I agreed that it was probably the nicest theater we had ever visited. It was spacious, clean, and new. Each theater had a digital read out letting you know how many minutes until the show started. We had reserved seats, because we bought our tickets online. They don't have advertising before the movie, just previews. But here's the kicker. I went to buy some candy for Jamie, and the attendant(?) told me that it was 'free popcorn day' and would I like some.

Yes.

So, she got me some popcorn, and it was a regular sized popcorn, not a dinky sized promotional 'free' popcorn. She also asked if I'd like butter on that.

Yes.

And would I like it layered in?

Absolutely.

The end result was probably the best popcorn I've ever had ever [sic]. So, my theater-going experience was one of my better ones, in spite of the fact that the movie was Johnny English. Mr. Bean, you are no Clouseau.
