Depends on the theater. Around $13 or so for a nice, big, modern one with comfy recliner-type seats.
Who’s on first?
Add a big buttered popcorn and a large drink and we’re talking a little over ....twenty bucks?. Double that for two people?
What’s on second
Are there still 8$ soda and 6$ popcorn? Sticky floors and obnoxious people are still free right?
Minnie Driver is not even a U.S. citizen.
Why can’t they just shut up??? Do I know my dentist’s views about politics? My grocery bagger’s? My boss’s? No. Do I need or want to know their views? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! I sure don’t think these Hellywood people’s opinions are any more valuable than the average Joe’s. Less, frankly.
I will say this: I had no idea until reading this thread just how skilled at acting some of them really are...because it turns out they SUCK in person! (I’m talking to YOU, Minnie and Billy. You broke my heart!)
That was all done to protect the image of Mickey Mouse. I remember pornographic comics of Mickey and Mini over 60 years ago. It is a scam to protect the money men of Hollywood. The court has ignored the Constitutional limitations of Patent and Copyright.
I thought it was outrageous when they raised it to 15¢.
It’s done to protect the billions they bring in every year.
Air Pirates was merely a blip.
Now tgey just trademark characters and thise don’t expire.
I beg to differ, being as I'm a musician who's been trying for years to get people to notice my work. I'm not the only one, either. Big Dawg Media, which used to be the Big Dawg Music Mafia, is also full of hundreds, if not thousands, of other conservative-patriotic musicians, who are also struggling to get any kind of notice. Production, distribution and most of all, promotion are what's needed.
But since you're asking (you are asking for an example, aren't you?), here's the link to my CD Baby page, where my "album" can be bought. It's mostly home recordings, but all proceeds will go to getting me into the studio to have them produced professionally. Thanks in advance for your purchase (always assume the close).

They have a monopoly over their own movies and music, so why don't we just bypass them and make our own?
Why don't we make good, action packed movies (sorry Kirk Cameron, but Left Behind just didn't cut the mustard), with plenty of explosions, full auto weapons fire, and car chases, but in which the good guy always wins? In which America is right and victorious, and the hero thanks God for saving him, his family and his nation, then they all walk off together into the sunset, a strong and unified family?
You know -- good, patriotic, pro-American themes wrapped in action packaging that people will actually buy tickets to see?
At the same time, why don't we find, record, produce and promote musicians that make conservative-patriotic rock, rap, metal and pop songs that young people will actually listen to? 'Cause I have a news flash for you...the 23-year old pimple faced kid working 3rd shift at the Taco Bell ain't listening to Pat Boone. He's probably not listening to country, either...he's listening to rap, metal, and rock. So why don't we give him what he already listens to, only with a message that might get him to re-think what's he was taught in his government indoctrination institution?
What keeps Big Hollyweird and Big Music solvent is millions of us conservatives paying our hard-earned money to see their anti-American crap movies and listen to their anti-American crap music, just because we're dying for entertainment, and there's nothing else to watch or listen to. I believe there's a market for movies, music and video games that are patriotic and conservative, and the talent is out here....just there's no infrastructure to put the two together. That's where the people with the business sense need to get busy and come up with a way.
But in order to make that happen, people have to quit looking down their patrician noses at pop culture and entertainment, and realize they're powerful weapons with which the Left has been kicking out a**es for decades. We don't need to join 'em, but we can and should start using that tool to beat 'em.

Well FRiend, as someone whose family business has been dealing with "artists" of one form or another for many years I have to ask you exactly what are YOUR metrics for determining whether or not a particular performer is good enough to be a commercial success.
The sad truth is most creative, performance, and artistic types are the world's WORST when it comes to hearing "you're just not good enough."
Oh sure, many of those folks may have absolutely brilliant skills with one aspect or another of their craft. And naturally enough that is the thing they will focus on. UNfortunately, they simply refuse to hear about the one or two things about their practice they do badly that their actual talent simply can not overcome.
You can be a brilliant technical musician, and if you can be satisfied with a career as a studio musician you'll probably do fairly well, but that's probably ALL you can be without a hefty load of other talents that are not immediately apparent.
And sure, you might be another Rush Limbaugh who has made fools of many a radio guy that told him he would never "make it," but how many of him do you think there are?
In the old days, the authorities would pull her visa and kick her ass out of the country and never allowed back in..................
They went full retard!....................
I don't think you get my point. You're talking about how to get invited to shoot hoops at the neighborhood bully's house, and I'm talking about putting up our own goal at our own house. What it takes to be a "commercial success" is a red herring...because I'm not talking about trying to get signed to Geffen, or Columbia, or RCA. I'm talking about building our own record labels, our own movie studios, our own social media networks, our own entertainment media.
As Glenn Beck once said, "we surround them". We in the Center-Right are the majority in this country...at least for the time being. If we offer the entertainment consumers of America appealing movies, music and video games that reinforce and glorify those things we hold dear -- God, country and family -- I believe they'll flock to it, spend their money buying those movie tickets, and buying those CDs and downloads. And at the same time, we'll de facto defunding the Geffens and Disney-Pixars.
Even more importantly, we'll be deprogramming, un-indoctrinating, or whatever you want to call it, the young people who were never taught American exceptionalism, and the virtues of hard work, personal responsibility, the love of family and God...and we'll deliver our message in such a way they'll never even know it, because they're having too much fun.

Sorry FRiend, drawing a blank. As I said the Mrs. and I haven’t been to the movies in a very long time. That aside who ever she is she ain’t much to look at.
I have seen her around nothing that stands out to me either.
