Matinees

It’s rare that I go to the movies anymore to see a new film. Perhaps it’s my cynicism about the crap that Hollywood has been churning out, or perhaps it’s the thought of spending $8.50 for a ticket.

I realize I sound like a grouchy old man complaining about ticket prices (“In my day…”), but these days, I just don’t feel like you get your money’s worth. So, to cut back on that, if I see a movie in the theatre, I’ll only go to a matinee. Even the prices on matinees are pretty expensive (a couple bucks ain’t much of a discount), but you get the added bonus of less people. Less people = less chance of having the back of your seat kicked = less chance of people talking through the movie.

How much are movies in your area?

What is this then?

The Daily Ping is the web's finest compendium of toilet information and Oreo™® research. Too much? Okay, okay, it's a daily opinion column written by two friends. Did we mention we've been doing this for over ten years? Tell me more!
