Movies For 2012

[Bassn Blvd]

The wife and I just got home from seeing the "Hunger Games." We thought the movie was pretty good and weren't dissapointed in paying 10 bucks per ticket to see it (4:45 showing).

Prior to the start of the show, several previews were shown for upcoming movies. I must say, based soley on the previews, 2012 looks promising for good movies.

Most of the movie previews were action, adventure and fantasy. There were 3 that I actualy look forward to watching.

IMO, the movies last year were horrible, none of which I thought were deserving of a 10 dollar ticket, much less an Oscar.

I just wait for them to either get on DVD, or at the dollar movies.

I'm guessing you mean Hunger Games? I'm fixing to see that one with the wife Monday. I put in a Vacation day to spend a little time with her since we don't see each other too often(she works days and I work afternoons).

[Bassn Blvd]

^ Duh, I'm a tard. You're right, Hunger Games. See, it was so good that I forgot what it was called, hahaha.

Seriously though, it was a good movie.

There were none worth paying a dollar for either.

We went to see Hunger Games Friday at City Place Imax, 16.50 a ticket and 9 bucks to park, what a rip off. My kids loved it, I hated it...............I'll take Bogart anytime.

[Bassn Blvd]

We saw it at City Place too. 20 bucks for two tickets and free parking. Why did you pay for parking? Valet? Did you know the parking garage is free if you go to the movies? All you have to do is self stamp your parking ticket in the movies. The stamp is next to each theater door.

I haven't seen any movies in IMAX yet, but I will be seeing one of the upcoming new movies in it.

Ah, Bogart. Yea, me too. But those days are over. You have to roll with the times or get rolled over.

My daughter bought the tickets, I thought just presenting my ticket stubs would validate parking, it didn't.....I flipped out when the attendant said 9 bucks, I was bitchen about it all night...........lol.

[OHIO]

$16.50 a ticket and you have to pay for parking?

That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

[Quillback]

I hear Hunger Games is a "chick flick". tell me it ain't so.

My understanding of this is. The theater doesnt get squat from the ticket sales. All their income is from the snack stands and apparently parking. I believe that's how my friend explained it to me. He used to be a manager at a theater up here.

NOT a chick flick.

No, you don't have to pay for parking, unless you forget to get your parking ticket stamped at the movie.

Haha, I bet you were. I forgot to get my ticket stamped once and also flipped out when I had to pay.

Hunger Games. What an appropriate name for a movie. Is it a movie about the concession stands at the theaters? Who can afford their prices for popcorn and a drink?

[Bassn Blvd]

I hear ya about the prices. 2 tickets were 20 bucks. A large popcorn, two large sodas and a box of snow caps was $19.75. I told the girl I wanted small soda and popcorn but she insited the larger was cheaper, some kind of special going on.

The wife and I only go to the movies about 3-4 times a year so I don't mind paying 40 bucks. To me, 40 bucks is worth it for her to have a good time.

The 60 dollar dinner afterwards is what ticked me off. It has gotten SOOO expensive to eat out and a lot of the food is less desirable than the movies were in 2011.

My grandad, self made money maker, would have a fit if he knew how much money I spent eating out all the time.

Haha, granddads traits are starting to rub off on me though. The wife is frequently calling me CHEAP.

[Bankbeater]

I am waiting for the Three Stooges to come out. That is a movie I would pay theater prices to see.

[Redlinerobert]

I understand Hunger Games is the next Harry Potter/Vampire craze. Yes? I have no interest in seeing it. I am however counting the days for the Hobbit movie to come out!

It was a good movie,but harry potter/vamp. craze......nah. That's just my opinion though. There's definitely gonna another Hunger game movie coming out. I am quite curious how they will keep it going. We caught it today @ the 10:30am showing....barely anybody there and the ticket prices were cheaper.

The shock value is there because it's all kids......Definitely NOT a kid's movie though.

Hunger Games did 214 million at the box office this past weekend.

I paid $7 for the Hunger Games book. Gave it to my wife as part of her Mother's Day gift last year. She liked it so much she gave it to her mom and dad to read. They liked it so much they talked me into reading it. I liked it enough to lend it to another family. They all liiked it too. Now my 10 yr old daughter is reading it. That's a lot of entertainment for $7. Save your money and stop going to the movies. It's simple, if people stop paying Hollywood to make crappy movies, they might be forced to make better movies.
