I just read this in an article on MSNBC about this country's economic downturn and how it could affect movies.
"Even if a nickel no longer gets you a double feature, movie tickets remain one of the great entertainment bargains available ..."
Um, what? By the time I walk into a theatre with my husband and three kids before the show has even started, we have spent between $50 and $60 for tickets and snacks - that must be shared. And it costs just as much if you don't take your kids because then that money goes to a babysitter.
Does film critic Alonso Duralde (the author of the article) know what the word bargain means? I'm going to take a giant leap here and say he's either unmarried with no kids or hasn't a clue what real life is like for most "normal" folks here in America. Or both!
Looks like I'm right on at least one count.
Seriously.
That is so true! We were just working on our budget this weekend and decided that we could see no more than 4 movies a year as a family.
