The 18 Most Over-The-Top Popcorn Buckets To Hit Movie Theaters - Tasting Table

The creativity is endless. The brand tie-ins are exquisite. The technology is surprisingly advanced. (Some of them even light up!) The promotional popcorn receptacles on this list aren't your typical plastic buckets with the movie poster stretched awkwardly around the outside. These are hilariously and cleverly-shaped collectible items that will have you saying, "Huh, I could see myself spending $44.99 for one of those." Yes, they're that powerful.

This isn't the spin-off you're looking for: why Disney was right to ditch Adam Driver's Ben Solo feature

Driver goes on to say during the interview that he was baffled as to why anyone wouldn't want to see a Soderbergh Star Wars movie. We wanted to be economical with it, and do it for less than most but in the same spirit of what those movies are, which is handmade and character-driven, he says. Empire Strikes Back being, in my opinion, the standard of what those movies were. But he is, to me, one of my favourite directors of all time.

The moment is jarring, and implies that everything that happened on-screen until then shouldn't be taken too seriously.
