Wow, the new Gom Jabbar test sure does… different.
Two photos shared on social media on January 25th show what appear to be collectible popcorn buckets from Denis Villeneuve’s film The Movie. Dune: Part 2to be released on March 1 after delays related to the Screen Actors Guild strike.. The popcorn bucket has a very unique lid in the shape of a large plastic sandworm, whose “mouth” is a tight hole, surrounded by wormy phalanges representing long “teeth.”
It looks like flesh light. Or a deflated butthole. or vaginal dentata.Whatever dirty little connections it creates in your mind, it definitely looks like something people would try to stick their dicks into, like a top-down version of the movie popcorn trick diner. At first, some thought it must be an amateur 3D print. However, the photos appear to have been posted to the r/MovieTheaterEmployees subreddit two days ago, with a Cineplex employee writing that they were “safely able to obtain these.” In a discussion below the photo, an AMC employee wrote, “I’m glad someone already leaked it. The moment we got it, we thought it was so stupid.”
persistent doubts about Dune: Part 2 Fuck-Bucket’s authenticity was undermined when AMC Theaters’ official TikTok account posted a nine-second promotional video showing the entire auditorium. The video was uploaded hours after YouTuber Chris Parker’s image of a bucket gained attention on X.
“I love collecting unique popcorn buckets that have been designed to fit a movie,” Parker told Vulture. “this dune 2 Buckets aren’t just creative, they’re also super fun! ”And look, I get it. We know theaters need to do everything they can to get people to come see movies in person. We share a common cause. Over the past few years, movie popcorn buckets have become collectible, including: barbie and renaissance For these theaters, it’s a great way to build continued excitement for the in-person moviegoing experience and take concession revenue to a whole new level.
But did you know?people will find a way to poke sandworms anythingso, Dune: Part 2 Fuck Bucket is probably not as unique as we think. It’s more obvious. So don’t be afraid of buckets. Fear is a stupid killer.
Vulture reached out to both Cineplex and AMC for clarification. I also asked how much it would cost as I was buying it for a friend. We look forward to their responses.
