....where in God's name do you live that movie tickets are $5.50?
In Southern California, my student discount tickets I buy on-campus are $8 -- and that's $5 less than you pay at the multiplex! It's getting so bad and I'm so damn stubborn that I almost never go to the movies even when I really want to see something.
Well, if there's a bright center to the universe, I'm in the state that it's the farthest from. I live in a crappy Southern state with piss poor education statistics and the fourth highest obesity rate in the country (in other words, it would be entirely legit to call it a state filled with high quantities of stupid fat people). Trust me, cheap movie tickets are hardly a consolation. $9.50 is actually the normal 2D movie ticket price around here, but one of the lesser quality theaters near me offers matinees for $7.50, and late matinees (4:00 - 5:30) for $5.50.
If I was living in Southern California right now, I'd be more than happy to pay way more for my movie tickets.
