I saw Dunkirk in 70mm IMAX (which is equivalent to something like 11-15K I think) in Rhode Island. What does that mean?

It means a 20 dollar ticket and another 20 dollars on concessions.

The screen was the size of Rhode Island. Not that the screen is so big, just that Rhode Island is so small.

I quite appreciate the state’s size. It’s concise - something that I can’t say for most states unfortunately.

You New Englanders and your small states. How typical.

$14 ticket, $0 concessions. A bargain honestly.

I really don’t see how 14 dollars for a movie ticket is a bargain. I know that the times have passed me by, but the movie theatre being a 50 dollar outing for a small family is a reality that I just can’t accept.

The Premiere cinema in Cardiff (UK) £4 a ticket, any film, any format, any time!

I think it’s £3 for a child.
So for a family (2x adults + 2x child) £14.

Quality that mate - seems the owner has a decent business model and doesn’t mind cutting his profit margin if it gets people and families back in (and may likely make a little back in the longer run) - better that than it laying empty and decaying for 10 years 😃

My local is £6.90 an adult, £5.40 kids all days and times - bar Tues & Wed when it’s £5 adult, £2 kids. Doing well too and getting in people in from various community groups, people just looking to meet up with mates, and those who want to just get out the house etc.

I once snuck an entire Chick-Fil-A meal into a theater.

A co worker in his 20s turned out to be a pretty big Star Wars fan who bought a Kylo Ren helmet for 800 Euros among other things. I asked him if he has the original OT and he replied he doesn’t and doesn’t care to see them. The whole notion even seemed strange to him, haha. He also thinks Kylo Ren is cooler than 'ol Darth Vader, and the EP7 Stormtrooper look better than the original ones. I said i prefer the originals and he asked me “Why?” as if i just said i like to smear Pinguin guano in my face. I don’t get this generation.

It’s like (and not necessarily in a good or bad way) the people who like “all Star Trek except the Shatner stuff.” Or who think it all makes sense as long as you get rid of the pre-Next Generation show.

I don’t get it because I grew up watching all kinds of “old” stuff.

OTOH, I realized today that when I watched Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959) in 1979 it was about as old as The Matrix or The Phantom Menace is now. (OK, Air Force One or Jurassic Park 2 if you want to be more exact.) The Wizard of Oz was newer when I saw it in 1973 than Star Wars is now.

Cripes.

Bummer, if I had just waited a few minutes someone would have made a better joke and I could have just stayed silent.

CatBus, failing to silence Frink since 2011.

So this is all your fault, eh?

I just want you to understand all the trouble you’ve caused around here, letting Frink run loose. For shame.

Yes.

You used to be able to buy a coke for 5 cents or a house for $10,000.

Inflation can account for that not being the case anymore.

1. I don’t have a small family.
2. At some theaters tickets for non-IMAX movies are more than $14. That’s just how it is now.

I know that’s how it is now. That’s why I don’t go to movie theaters.

3. Seeing the film in IMAX 70mm was one of the greatest cinematic experiences of my life - well worth it.

So nobody brought their screaming baby? Was there somebody kicking the back of your seat?
