This is the way.

I check the list of new physical releases regularly. I'd rather drop $30 on a disc than blow $50 in a theater and walk out with nothing.

$50 bucks for the movies? What are you sitting on Steven Spielberg's lap?

[–] jordanlund 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

2 adults. Hard not to spend $50. More if we want Imax tickets.

Tickets are $25/person where you are? Or it's "hard not to" buy snacks?

I agree that blu-ray is the better way to go either way though.

$21, but yeah. I have no problem skipping the popcorn, but it's not entirely up to me. ;)

My last movie experience was $200.

Tickets were $25 each.

But it was at Alamo, with drinks.

I spend $20/month to see as many movies as I want at the theater. Last month I saw 6 movies, 9 in November, and expecting 6 this month.

The theater isn’t a bad deal with these unlimited subscriptions. In fact it’s the most bang for my buck entertainment option I have these days.
