Popcorn at the movies

I never eat popcorn at the movies. Just not my thing to eat while watching a movie. However, when we to see Dear Pyongyang at the Asian American Film Festival, and had a light dinner beforehand, I found myself hungry just as we settled in...which was like 1/2 hour later! I was going to ride it out, but Dav got up and later came back with a bag of popcorn!! What a sweetie. I was so happy!

The documentary, by the way, was excellent. Very personal and heartbreakingly touching. I'm fascinated with North Korea, and the intertwined history it has with Japan. It was particularly interesting to see very recent personal footage of Pyongyang. It's hard to imagine what it must be like to live there day in, day out, but Yonghi Yang, the director, did an honest job of just showing how it was for her family, which is quite extraordinary. I highly recommend it.
