"They keep increasing prices. $10 a movie is a ripoff."

That's exactly correct and the main issue I don't and can't take my wife and four kids out to a flick. That's sixty bucks before popcorn or soda for usually a 90 minute film!

I completely agree. Why pay $20 for a couple of tickets ($60 for a family of 6), plus transportation and possible food costs, for Hollywood-quality movies today when you can wait three months and pay $1.08 for a vending machine rental?

If I wanted to see a chase scene, I could turn on FoxNews. For an explosion (or implosion), Howard Dean. For special (visual) effects, Helen Thomas ... oh, she's real? Never mind.
