I rarely go out to the movie theatre now adays because of those reasons. Its atleast $9 a seat now, another $5 for a drink and another $5 for popcorn so there is already $20 for just one person. The only times I do go is when there is a movie I REALLY want to see on the big screen, but even then, thats not that often. The only other time I go to see a movie is when its on a date, but thats only once in a blue moon because I'd rather pay another $30 and have a nice dinner with my lady friends.
