Little Do They Know……
Well, the new Star Trek movie is out, and I still haven’t seen it. I have seen the new Night at the Museum, which was actually pretty good. My daughter wanted to see Up, which brings me to my latest rant. Why the hell do the theater people think they have to charge so much for movies? Up was being shown in 3-D, which jacked up the ticket price. WHAT???? It cost as much for both of us to see NATM as it would have for just me to see Up. That’s just plain ridiculous. I’m all for profit, and advancement in the arts, but in today’s economy, it’s not feasible to charge 13 bucks for one lousy movie ticket. I’ll wait til it hits the cheap theater, which costs a buck and a half a ticket! Sure, it’s a late run movie by then, and everyone’s already seen it. Hell, it might be on DVD by then. Guess what, I’ll have saved over ten bucks just by waiting. If that doesn’t work, I’ll just put it on my Netflix, and get it for basically nothing. Get a life, movie people. You don’t need to anally rape us everytime we want to see a big screen movie. Believe me, you’ll make money even at two bucks a ticket.
