 If you're like most people (sadly), you may have indulged a bit
in movie theater cuisine (okay, maybe not "cuisine" so much as "nicely packaged
gut bombs"). Buttered popcorn, nachos, pizza . . . You can do some serious
damage before you've even traveled back to 1986 in a hot tub or seen some
serious Titan clashing. These calorie counts can be even more entertaining - or
scarier, really - than anything on the screen. Each treat shows its calorie
count, ranking from highest to lowest calorie count.
