I hate that movies now cost more than my first concert experiences. And those now cost what a weekend trip to Disneyland used to run. angry.gif

No kidding. I haven't seen a theater release in forever. And for that kind of money I will pass on the possibility of having the entire experience wrecked by screaming babies or by people who will. Not. Shut. Up.

 

Oh, and a one-day Disney pass is $89. Just in case you are looking for a vacation that will necessitate a second mortgage on your home.

I guess I'm lucky that the prices are rising for movies that suck. I didn't have the intention of going anyway, now the prices give me even more of a reason to not go.

I just got an e-mail from my local movie theater saying they had not increased fees for the latest 3-D movies Alice in Wonderland or How to Train Your Dragon. They are already charging $3 bucks more for a 3D movie. I only go to matinees and now those aren't even bargain prices with the added premium.

The market will soon find the right price: you can only push family budgets so far before people say "enough is enough". But until box office revenues start to fall the cinema chains will keep on hiking prices.

That's kinda my feeling on the matter as well. Usually these are movies I hadn't planned to see in the first place.

And a weekend trip to Disneyland now costs what a new CAR used to run!

 

And a nice new car costs what a new HOUSE used to run!

 

And a new house costs what a SPACE STATION used to run!

 

Umm I'm not sure how to finish this so I think I will just run.

Has anyone bit on this yet? I am waiting to check out the Sony 65 inch models when they come out. PLUS I am waiting for their to be more than JUST ONE MOVIE to watch in 3D.

 

The 3D sports networks sound cool but, here in Canada apparently our TV receivers are a looong ways away from being 3D capable, like maybe another year.

 

I can't wait for the Star Wars trilogy in 3D where it is highly likely Lucas will snatch the chance to "fix" the Return of the Jedi so Darth and Luke *hug* at the end and nobuddy dies, not even that one pancaked Ewok at about the 1:14:32 mark.

That's all well and good, but sometimes you just want to get the hell out of the house and a movie is a nice way to do it.

 

I do believe the movie makers will be sorry if they think they can keep raising prices just because people enjoy these 3D movies, Some will continue to pay for it but they will definitely loose a lot of folks as well. I like going but if prices get much higher my movies will be few and far between.

 

I do have a nice home setup and I enjoy it.

Or if you have to drop a deuce, you don't end up missing 10 - 15 minutes of the story. Or in my case 40 - 45 minutes.

Nope, just a road atlas. Can look at that sucker for an hour or two.
