It just seems strange to me that the ticket can cost more money every year. Its so expensive to see a flick. Lets say you and your buddy/soul mate/girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/whatever wanna catch a flick. You're cheap bastards so you see the matinees. 10 dollars later you both have tickets. 5 dollars later you have the industrial sized popcorn to split. 3 later you got the soda. Halfway through you get a refill, and another. Some places charge for that. You buy a dollar candy bar, so does the other guy. Thats twenty dollars to see a damn movie and eat some food.
And don't say you don't need the food. I am not just buying the film, I'm buying the experience. Part of that experience is the food.
Now you sit down. The film wastes 15 minutes of your life with inane trivia. Another 10 with commericals. Another 15 with trailers of shitty movies you never, ever want to see. So almost an hour later the moive stars. What is that? We can rent about 20 to 40 movies for 20 dollars.
Edit: I watch about 50 rented movies a year, and rent about half of them. It is much more rewarding to do that then blow 5-10 dollars on a movie.
