Well they finally did it.

It's probably going to be as bad as the Last Alien movie.

I'll still go see it, but the trailer only encouraged my skepticism.

I hate movies that put all the action into the trailer to make it look good, then when you finally do go and see it, you realize that the trailer HAD all the actions and was a far better movie than the one you just paid $9.50 to see.

$9.50!?!?

And I though seven dollars was bad. Sometimes, depending on my financial situation and the movie in question, I'll wait until it gets to the 'second hand' theater. It can be as cheap as $0.50 to see it there, on the right day.

Of course, the film is usually pretty beat up then. And sometimes the sound track is completely hosed. But for $0.50 you don't have much room to complain.

I doubt that theater makes much money, and they'll probably go under soon. Not that I'll be buying their overpriced consessions to support them.

You have to love the taglines if nothing else:

We lose.

Until recently, theaters here charged $13.95. A few months ago, they lowered the price and now it's $10.95.

This is Canadian dollars.

I can see movies for $5.50 Canadian. Of course, that's because I'm a student, otherwise the price would be $7.50 which still isn't bad at all. There's a catch though; movies often take 3-4 weeks to get there after they've been in the theaters in large cities.
