The $1.00 show vs. regular price.

Wow. It's different posting on GC during the day. I don't get a chance to do this anymore.

I haven't been to a dollar show since I was a kid.

I always see what interest me when it's a new movie, and usually I don't see a movie twice unless it's a good movie about exotic cars, which is rare. I generally use my home theater system to play my 360. I'm not a big home movie fan.

Now, when I do go see an old movie, to me it's more relaxing going to the drive in. Folding seats and hatchbacks make all the difference in the world at a drive in. A couple of pillows, a blanket, bug spray, and food from home or usually a bucket of KFC works great.

ETA: Since I took the day off and have the rest of the day to myself, I guess I'll go see what's playing today.

That's a hilarious image but it was usually tupperwared. Still hilarious because you can smell that it isn't crappy theater food.

I might go to 7-11 for snacks or, if I'm really hungry, a drive thru for a fresh sandwich or tacos and just shove them in my bag. I'm pretty famous for my "movie theater bag." It also came in handy on gospel choir trips--I once fed 5 sopranos, 3 altos, and the reverend from my blue bag. It was like Jesus touched it before I loaded up. There's a useless piece of trivia for you.

Other than the fact that I could get a full tank out of 10 bucks, this is the only other thing that makes me miss my first car. I just got the best flashback of me and my best friend in my trunk with the hatch up watching I, Robot.

Speaking of movies. I forgot to mention that I went to see Journey to the Center of the Earth last weekend. It was really good. There's also a 3D version too. I want to see that one sometime this week, if not, this weekend.

ETA: After I saw the the regular showing, I could tell the 3D one would have been better. I didn't go because I try to avoid 3D movies. I just always feel silly sittng in a movie theater wearing strange looking glasses.
