I can't say I've ever thought rice smells like cinema nor popcorn. I associate the smell with China since I spent my earliest years there. My guess is your brain associated that smell with movies for whatever reason (maybe you always got Chinese food at the mall after the movies or something?)

Pretty sure its totaly wrong. There is no connection.

Chinese food, sushi or Indian Wok, all do not have thr smell, compared to me making a specific rice at home at is entirely unrelated.

Another Person commented with a prpbability of the Mailard Reaction, which sounds like it makes the most sense, but I didn't broke up yhe topic scientifically to say "yeah, that is exactly it"
