I also liked Despicable Me, but was glad to see it in 2-D.
$42 means, what, $14 a ticket? In Manhattan (except one theater in Harlem, apparently, that I may start attending) we're up to $13 for
2-D films.
3-D run at least $16, and usually more like $17.50. Don't even get me started on Imax.
The AMC $6 pre-noon weekend movies are kind of magic, here. But I'm a teacher! In the summer I don't always want to see movies on weekends! And I've noticed a lot of movies with showings at 12:00 p.m. exactly (rather than 11:30, say, even if it means more annoying times later in the afternoon) to get around that.
Yikes, and I was grumpy about $10 3D movies here. Which, no complaints paying that for Monsters vs. Aliens and Coraline was a steal at that price, but in general if there are two digits in what I'm paying to see a movie it ought to be at a festival with the stars in attendance.
The AMC here upped their prices, so we can't even get a matinee for single digit ticket prices, and a kid's ticket for a 3-D matinee is 12-18 dollars, depending on the movie.
So forget buying popcorn. At that price they should give me popcorn. And a blowjob.
Happy Birthday, Barbara Stanwyck! [link] She was such as dame.
I have a 7 pm ticket tonight to see Inception. I don't think I've been this psych'd to see a new movie in all year.
He does resemble Holm a bit, doesn't he? Still, you'd think they'd cast someone younger.
That'd be good, but yeah, Bilbo is supposed to be in his mid 40s, which McCoy was when he played the Doctor.
It's okay, he can park the TARDIS in 2011 New Zealand for 6 months.
