How Much is a Movie Worth to You?
I was just thinking to myself the other day that seeing a movie is way too cheap. That it is such a shame that The Dark Knight only grossed $22 billion. I thought to myself, "What can I do to help the ailing cinema industry in its hour of need, while also impressing a special lady?" A theater planned for Orange County, California (where else on God's green earth, I ask you) will charge $35 dollars a head to see a first-run movie. "What do you get for the money? Reclining chairs decked out in suede, a personal attendant, and the chance to see the same movie that's playing at the local cineplex for a 350% markup" The menu includes gourmet black truffle arancini, chickpea croquettes with light tahini sauce, and mini corn crab cakes with chili lime mayo. Additionally, you and your date-no doubt soon to be bedmate-can enjoy a lovely pinot while watching Space Chimps. [O.C. Weekly]
