Thread: WHAT THE HECK!!!! I went to the movies and left broke....?

...I can't belive it, I decided to visit my younger brother who I have not seen in a while. To mark the occasion I told him I will take him to the movies to see the Jet Li/ Jackie Chan "Kingdom" flick for old time sake (we loved Kung Fu flicks).

Well lo' and behold the movie was $9.00 per person (this is at 4:00pm) soda was $4.00 a cup, a hotdog was $3.00 (times two plus tax) I think I spent about 34 dollars for a hour and a half movie.

Do you think movie prices are "insane" ; how do you afford these crazy prices.

...by the way the movie was ok; a few good fight scenes especially the one between Jet and Jackie...however the plot leaved a lot to be desired. If they would have not used a third grader to write the script they could have made a movie to be remembered. So overall it was ok.

Well yes the prices at the movies are "insane". But unfortunately that's how they get you. That's why I rarely go to the movies. And the few times that I do go I hardly buy anything.

chyeaahh
a pretzel and a drink is 8.50.
then on weekends tickets are like 10$

yessss!
i just bring my own food

i go every saturday night, so iiiiidk if i'd be able to afford a hotdog and soda every week theree

More importantly, why were you watching a Jackie Chan movie?
