Wonder Woman Out Dec 16th

Yeah. I mean, the results of the writer's strike were not an improvement, so... that doesn't bode well.

There might be a bright spot here. Changes in Hollywood's business model prompted a lot of talented people to move over to streaming services and television. We might see this trend continue and it might be for the best.

Not to mention the cost is astronomical even for a matinee. For myself just for a ticket and concessions its probably $30.

When I went to see Watchman I planned on buying popcorn and a drink but I had to promise myself I wouldn't look at the price as I approached the counter. Well, I couldn't keep my promise and I was unwilling to spend $13 on a Coke and popcorn.

Damn movies are reasonably cheap here. $8 for the movies and I think a $14 combo gets you ticket, popcorn, coke.

Everything else imported costs a bomb.

That is cheap, but time spent on a crappy movie...priceless. Honestly that's why I go by myself 9 out of 10 times anymore, I don't care how much it cost, if its not good I leave.

I did the exact same thing last few times I went to the movie. I didn't get anything on the way in but then I was jonesing for some popcorn for the whole movie from all the 45 minutes of previews and the popcorn smell they pump into the theater. There should be a 12 step program for that. Probably is...Popcorns Anonymous.

FYI... I just read Wonder Woman 1984 will stream in 4K HDR on HBO Max.

I count myself lucky that I don't like popcorn. Actually, pretty much any traditional cinema fare I'm not keen on - I don't drink soft drinks anymore, and even back when I did, if I got one of those big buckets they sold at cinemas, half of it would still be left by the end of the movie. Never liked nachos, and while I do enjoy a good hot dog, the ones they sell in UK cinemas don't qualify.

You mean the 50 gallon drum of Pepsi? The last time I bought popcorn and pop I remember thinking to myself as Im struggling to give my ticket to the usher and open the door to the theater, "What the hell am I doing, who needs this much pop and popcorn"? They get you to buy a large because its about $0.50 difference between the small and large.

Its totally a local regional thing in Buffalo but Sahlen's hot dogs are great. I've not found much that compares outside of maybe Nathans Famous. They've grown quite popular elsewhere across the states.

Home - Sahlen Packing Co.

One here got refurbished and they serve takeaway type good so you can get a pizza or burger and fries and have a beer.

Want to go see a Christmas cat movie so see what happens.
