to the movie theater. I love to go to the movie theater around the new year. Jill and I went to see National Treasure: Book of Secrets on New Years Day. I have to say that it was such a fun experience. Going to the movies is an investment so there are several decisions that must be made correctly in order to enjoy the experience.
1. What movie to see? This can make or break the movie going experience.
2. What theater to go to? All theaters charge pretty much the same prices but all theaters are not created equal. Find a theater that you feel comfortable investing in.
3. What concessions to buy? Now there are ways around this issue by stopping by your favorite fast food restaurant and smuggling in your burrito of choice but there are also many options at the concession stand. Have you noticed that you can order a combo at the theater for nearly the same price you can eat at a fast food restaurant? Gee…let me think. Taco Bell is sounding better and better.
Jill and I ending up investing in a #1 combo- 480z. Diet Coke and 10lbs of popcorn (Just in case this does not make you sick you can come back for 1 free refill). How ridiculous that they would limit my popcorn intake to 20lbs per movie and my soda intake to 90oz. Wait! I’ll be back…I gotta go to the bathroom!

For real, going to the movies used to be a semi-inexpensive date. Now, after both non-matinee tickets, a big popcorn, drinks for the both of you, and a couple of candies, you’ve spend flippin $45! Dang, if you put dinner on top of that beforehand, it can break a brothers bank account.
