Well a fiver is cheaper than a movie ticket and I get more enjoyment out of the 2 hours dreaming about what to spend the money on.
Exactly. If you buy a ticket with disposable income, what's the harm? It's just fun. It's the people who spend beyond that amount that have a problem.
Once in a while, my wife and I go to a casino and spend (no pun intended) a few fun hours at the 25 cent slot machines. We go slowly, one turn at a time. During those few hours we spend (again no pun intended), between the two of us what we might have spent at a show. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. If we win, we go to the casino restaurant and have a nice dinner. It's a fun night out, spending nothing more than disposable income - nothing more. You can curse us, tell us we're miserable hell-bound heathens, I don't care.
