I haven’t been to the movies for under $100 in a while. I have to get a babysitter ($40), then I have to pay for tickets ($9.50 x 2), popcorn ($7 x 2), drinks ($4 x 2). Toss in a dinner tab, since you have to go to dinner before a movie, and it’s well over $100. Therefore, it takes one WHALE of a movie to get my but out the door to see it. And this ain’t it. That shaky camera would make me want to barf within the first 10 minutes.

Definately a rental.

here in NC, the movies cost $45 a ticket and you have to sell a kidney to get popcorn.

It doesn’t have to be your kidney though.

And you can get M&Ms if you don’t like popcorn.

I used to work for a movie theater and almost all the money they get from ticket sales goes back to the Studio. Popcorn and drinks *is* where they make the majority of their money. The percentage of how much goes back to the studio decreases the longer they play the movie.

#24 - are you a student in bumfuck, montana? sure, i guess movies are cheap…relative to other forms of entertainment (concerts, sports, etc.)

here in columbia, sc (not a huge metropolis) evening movies cost at least $8.50, so i rounded up based on that. and if you get popcorn and a drink here, prepare to double your expenditure, as that seems to be where the theaters REALLY make their money. popping corn and soda syrup/CO2 are two of the cheapest things you could buy wholesale, i’d love to see the profit margins given the absurdly high prices they charge for those two items.

Movies are cheap, where the hell are you going where its 10 bucks. Its $5-6 with student ID here, plus popcorn and you are looking at 8 bucks for movie and food.

Oh, and one more thing - Is “Cloverfield” supposed to be the title of the monster?

Because regardless of how many million people it kills, and how much of the Eastern seaboard it destroys, it’s never going to be cool with a sissy name like that!

They should have given it a more demonic name, either something from D&D or a patriarch from the Old Testament. They always sound scary:

Nebuchadnezzar - see, that sounds generally hideous.

Balorr - Again, scary and foreign.

Or they could have just said what they really meant:

Osama Bin Laden - Wow, I just crapped myself.

But CLOVERFIELD? I’ve seen POKEMON with scarier names than that…
