 This was the Hobbit movies for me. I still waited till they had been out a few weeks to avoid crowds. I didn't mind coughing up $20 for them.

 I agree.  But tickets here have gotten out of this world high.

The only movies DH & I will go see in a theater are either LOTR/Hobbit or X-Men or Marvel series. One, maybe two per year. Otherwise, we wait for downloads.

I couldn't tell you the last time I saw a movie in the theater. It might be the last Harry Potter movie.

Generally, the people in theaters these days are loud, talking over the whole movie. I can't stand it.

We saw the True Grit reboot. That was pretty good. But that was a long time ago.

Here's the problem with the theater by us. Tickets are $15.75. And they closed their "box office" so you can't buy tickets there. There are only two ways to buy tickets. One is to purchase them online. There is a $3.50 processing fee that goes with that. So it adds up. The other way is to use your ATM card at the theater and they charge $2.50 to buy a ticket through it. Plus any ATM fees your bank charges. It's gotten really pricey.

I think a Regal? Not a hundred percent sure. DH and I only go when we really really really want to see something.

We have Carmike and Rave. There is a Regal in Chattanooga but we don't go there. It seems run down and old.

The prices have been raised too. It used to be $12. And then a matinee was half price. But then they raised the price slowly and now a matinee is like $7.50. Plus the surcharges which have been added on. They didn't use to charge those. Used to be you could walk up to the window and just buy a ticket. I guess this is really good for them because they save money paying to two people who used to man the booth and get to charge extra for the tickets. Win/win.

It's around $10 here.

A 3d movie is $3 higher. I use to save our glasses and make a fuss and not have to pay the extra. They don't want you making a fuss cause others will do the same thing.

But we don't do 3d anymore. Aaron is blind in one eye and can't watch them even with the glasses now.

I can't watch them because they make me nauseous. So do IMAX movies.

I won't pay the surcharge for 3D, IMAX, Cine Capri, or whatever schmancy thing they have. Regular ol' screen is fine with me, preferably matinee.

I don't find all the schmancy thing to be that great. At least not worth the money. I'm happy with the theater seats and the big screen.

I don't like the 3D movies. I just don't think it's that great. Definitely not worth the extra cost.

I'm the same way NAOW. It's like a few minutes of things popping out at you and the rest of the movie you're sitting there with the stupid glasses on.

Yea. I mean, it looks cool. But watching the regular way is cool too. Actually, 3D is a little distracting to me.

Yep, we go to the movies so rarely just the regular big screen is fun to me. I guess we lead boring lives. I don't care for the 3D movies. If it's not 3D right at that second then it looks funny.

I just started watching 3d movies because I can finally see the 3d part without getting sick. Dang vision issues.

I refuse to pay the ridiculous prices for movies which is why DH downloads them for us.

Yep jlbear. We don't go unless it's something we can't wait to see on video. We just wait for Redbox.

3d was huge when I was coming up. Jaws, Friday the 13th, the different cartoons and what not.

And Disney had the 4d at the park. Thats cool.

But the 3d is different now. And really, with the CGS these days, there isn't much difference.

I really noticed it when Toy Story was re-released. They did a thing where you bought one ticket and got both 1 and 2 and they were supposed to be 3d.

Well about halfway through the 1st I took my glasses off and it wasn't any different.

But that was a cartoon.

Now Aaron, he can't see the 3d no matter if he is were ing the glasses or not. It's just an out of focus mess. He gets sick headaches.

 Our theater has a bargain matinee between 4-5:30.  If you go at that time, tickets are only $5.00.  And we have the refillable popcorn bucket.

 I won't either.  I HATE 3D - it gives me a headache and makes me nauseous.

We don't go to the movies enough to worry about the price of the ticket. But I do pack my own snacks and water for the kids. I'll buy popcorn only if I have to, but that's not too often.

I avoid 3D movies, too. Make me sick, as to IMAX movies. If I go, I'll take ginger first. The boys get bored with wearing the glasses, too. I do have a really cute picture of me, my brother, and my grandfather sitting between us, all of us are wearing those old paper 3D glasses. I treasure that picture.

We always try to do the matinee.

I would take drinks but we love the popcorn so that was just part of it.

I don't go anymore cause the last time I went, my boys had to lift me out of the seat. It was so low to the floor, I couldn't get up.

I have problems with the seats too. My knees lock up. I always wait till everyone leaves so I can navigate the stairs without anyone behind me getting angry.

We have those big recliner seats here in our theatres. You can reserve them ahead of the time so no having to arrive early.

If I sit for a really long movie like American Sniper or Lone Survivor then my knees start hurting. DH always wants to sit at the top which is fine. I have no problem going up stairs but with my loss of balance going down is difficult. I have to go really slowly. It's worse when I've been sitting a long time.

I like to be on that first row just behind the rail. On the risers.

For a while I could pull my self up with the rails. No big deal.

But I got to where I cant bend my legs up enough for people to get by. So I started sitting on the row for those with wheel chairs.

That was great for a while. But bending my knees up enough for the leverage to get up became impossible.

So I don't go anymore.

BUT. Anyone can go in for popcorn

There's probably some secret ingredient in it that's cancerous. Everything that tastes good is bad for you.

Probably the fake butter.

My uncle says dieting is easy. If you put something in your mouth and it tastes good, spit it out. Nothing good for you will taste good.

 Pretty much true.
