80$ ? Why, for what? Three tickets, popcorn and soda are 80$ now?

Three tickets is probably about $30. Kids don't want only popcorn and soda--they want candy, nachos. You know, lots of stuff they won't finish. Also, he's in Canada, so it's Canadian money. I don't know how that correlates, but it probably makes a slight difference.

Me: $13.50 for ticket
Kids: $10.50 x 2
Food: Popcorn, drink, candy = $10.50 x 3
What's that? I live in Nova Scotia Canada? oh, here have some 15% tax on top of all that.

I smuggle so much food and drink into movie theaters.

I'm a goddamn food ninja.

I can open up my own concession stand once inside, that's how good I am.

The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra
Not the first time I've seen this movie, and now that I own it on DVD it won't be the last. It is simply flat-out hilarious. Finding out they wrote the movie in 5 days and filmed the whole thing in 10 makes me want to get off my ass and do something like this with my friends; all the behind the scenes material and bloopers make it clear that the set was an insanely fun place to be.

Pontypool: We gave the "Max" thing on Netflix a whirl for Horror and it offered up this. The description it gave was not accurate (thankfully) but we gave it a shot. It's pretty good. A radio station begins getting strange calls during a snowstorm that escalate as the movie goes on, until events come right to their studio. Very interesting and intelligent movie with some creative concepts. I'm curious about the novel it's based on, but I have a feeling this is just a point of view taken on the novel's events rather than plot-for-plot. In any case, it's worth checking out for a unique story that could've easily gone off the deep end or into stupid-land, and instead came out well.

Freakin Pontypool. Came out of nowhere and wowed me.

Watched it. I think a 1 star would have been too good for it.

There is also a radio play based upon it that is quite good.

Pontypool was great. I worked with a guy at Blockbuster that knew a couple of people that worked on the film. He was always raving about it. Raving positively, that is.

Bottles.

Also, there's a gas station right next to my movie theater that sells candy in the large boxes, the same kind you typically buy in the theater. Except they're $0.50 at the gas station, and $3.50 in the theater.

That gas station knows what's up.

More like $5 in the theater. I was aghast last I went. The ticket was 5.50... but hotdog? 5 bucks. Soda? 5 bucks. Nachos? 5 bucks.

God that trailer. I ran out and read three or four trades based on that trailer, and just wanted a movie that much more. Cruel, cruel tease.

I'm watching the Hobbit for the first time out of the theater. Do the proportions seem out of whack in Bilbo's house at the beginning of the movie to anyone else? The Dwarves aren't that much bigger than Bilbo, but everything of Bilbos is tiny to them. Even the ones who are the same height as him.
