And for your movie snacking pleasure, here is a recipe for Homemade Microwave Popcorn. I make this all of the time as a midday snack.

Ingredients
1/4 cup of popping corn (generally around 0.99 per bag and can make up to 50 bags of microwave popcorn)
2 teaspoons of vegetable oil
1-2 tbsp of melted butter
salt

Tools you will need
scotch tape
brown paper bag
Microwave

Pour the popcorn into the paper bag then add the vegetable oil. Fold the top of the bag over twice, but don't make the folds too big or the popcorn won't have room to pop. Tape the folds down with scotch tape. Microwave as you would normally do microwave popcorn (2-3 minutes listening for when the pops stop for about 3 seconds in between). Take out of the microwave and put into a bowl. Toss with melted butter and sprinkle with salt.
