No, I meant $12 is the cost of seeing a movie only if you don't buy any of the food. But I agree, it is only worth going to a theater as a social outing, as the movies are just as good at home on DVD.

ok this 2 min trailer makes it look a lot less silly than the 30 second ones on tv. dunno if i'll make it to the theater, but i am interested to see it now that it appears to be more than Independence Day minus will smith.

I got to see a free screening of this on Monday. The main character is hilarious! Won't spoil anything though.

Yes! I'm not normally into scifi, but I thought it was good. Everyone else that I was with (more into that sort of thing) really loved it.

Oh, I get it. Movie theater food is fucking disgusting, I usually sneak in something from outside. Except at the Sundance theater, which serves fancy sandwiches and beer.

Try sneaking a fat burrito into the theater some time. The perfect movie food - no looking down!
Yeah, movie food is usually terrible, and bitch expensive.
I quite like frequenting the cinema on my own, it's quite relaxing.
I'm still excited.

only movie ive gone to alone was watchmen because my jerkass friends that i was saying, 'hey lets go see watchmen' to went and saw it when i was at work 
then we all went and saw it a second time a few weeks later
going alone isnt really that different, its not like you're talking to anyone during the movie anyway. still, i doubt i'll find the motivation to go alone more than on rare occasion.

Just heard a long interview on my fav radio morning show with the main actor, I am so psyched about this movie!!!!
Yeah, but it's a complete re-re-imagining, and I'm sure it'll be terrible. I can already feel it.
Avatar will probably be excellent.

There is a renovated 1920's era theater (complete with a Wurlitzer organ and intermissions) in downtown Palo Alto just off the Stanford campus. It shows movies from the 60's all the way back to the silent films. Tickets are currently $7 and they are usually for a double feature, so a good 4+ hours of movie. I'll go to that one alone as I often can't find friends who want to go see Spartacus or North by Northwest.
Are you kidding me? Spartacus is one of my all time favourites, Kubrick was a true master. Olivier is amazing, especially in the scene where he admits he's gay through cryptic allegory.
As for North By Northwest, it's my favourite of Hitchcock's.

And yes, I need better friends. There is a screening of Lawrence of Arabia in the original 70mm Super Panavision format and they all meh-ed me. WTF?!
