Ha! I did not notice that.

Also, [spoiler]when the homemade defibrillator failed, someone in the theater yelled, "Put some duct tape on her!"[/spoiler]

Jurassic Park 3D was so good, y'all. I was too scared of this movie as a kid to properly watch it so this is my first time seeing it in a single sitting. I don't think the 3D really added much but it was cool all the same.

I apparently liked Jurassic Park when I first watched it in theatres, I forgot it was my birthday .
That became my fondest, most overpowering memory. There's something poetic there.

Saw evil dead yesterday, because I had too much shit to do opening weekend.

I was surprised by [spoiler]Sadako showing up as the villain. Sure she was a redhead while alive, but while dead was an only slightly westernized Sadako sans magic VHS[/spoiler]

Couldn't get through [spoiler]nailgun[/spoiler] scene without thinking :THATWAY:

[spoiler]Oh, and unless this took place before the original evil dead, as is sorta implied, trying to detox in Flint is probably one of the dumbest decisions in the entire film.[/spoiler]

Are you kidding? That's been the normal price around here for over a decade. It's a big pat of the reason I almost never go to see movies in the theatre anymore.

Except when we pay for things. That's when they tack on a 30% price hike to reimburse the magical tariffairies or whatever.

Yeah I dunno. Hell, if I got to see a movie with magical 3D Ultra-HHHHD MaximumIMAX Stormscape Hyperreality technology, then it's more like $20.

15.5 dollars for a ticket to a film isn't really that much... But everyone's already said that.

Except that it is. I already stopped going to movies because they hit 10 bucks.

Edit: Although I don't know where 15 bucks is coming from. Apparently I can get tickets to see Iron Man at the theater I usually go to for 8 bucks.

It seems like a lot to me. I could wait a while and then own the DVD for that much, and be able to watch it as many times as I want.

Last time I went to a movie at midnight, it was Avengers in IMAX 3D and that was only $12. And last movie I saw in theatres was Jack Reacher and I only paid $9.

I had no idea tickets got so high recently.

Yeah, $15 for 2 hours of average entertainment seems like a poor return, given I might get dozens or even hundreds of hours out of a vidja game at the same price.

Now, movies and vidja games are not necessarily comparable in all regards, and once in a while I do indulge in the spectacle of a new movie. But I rarely find that the "theatre experience" offers me anything that I feel like I'm missing when watching a movie at home on DVD.

EDIT: Also, I buy for the both Starr and I, so it's more like $30 per movie, actually.

Iron Man is a high profile film, so Disney can get away with demanding theatres charge more.

Oh okay, I thought theaters were starting to charge 15 bucks for all movies.

You really think companies would make money if they charged 15$ for the next warmed-over romantic comedy starring Jennifer Aniston?
