Bad Economic Times & Hollywood

[ad]

Last week I had mentioned that my hubby and I got a chance to watch the movie Iron Man and we both loved it. But we are being presented with a problem that is very uncommon.

Hollywood has actually produced a series of movies we want to watch this year. Normally, there may only be 1 or 2 movies a year. Last year it was the movie Transformers for my hubby and I and he went to Spider-Man 3 by himself.

This year we are looking at 4-5 movies which would make an all-time high for us. It would make an all-time high for my hubby too and he worked in a movie theater for a few years. As we said, we took in Iron Man partially because I love the tech aspect and the special effects and my hubby was a comic book geek growing up. He doesn’t buy them now but he visits the store and reads them monthly.

The movies that are coming up are Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, Batman: Dark Knight and the Incredible Hulk. Yes, my hubby is in comic book geek heaven but I like the tech and special effects. Then we watch Mythbusters later to see how realistic any of the stunts actually were.

But going to the movie theater is not cheap even at the matinee prices. I long remember paying 50 php or $1 to sit in a movie theater all day in the Philippines. But here the matinee prices are $5.50 for each adult and child and the evening shows cost $7.50. With the price of gas being at $3.95 a gallon, it is getting a little scary with the gas almost costing as much as a kids ticket to a movie.

How do we balance this increased amount of movies we actually want to watch? Well, I just need to keep blogging more and more. Blogging to earn money for movies – what a concept. (Suportahan ang bisyo lol!)

Unya inig kadugay ato na, kadawat man ko opps nga same sa required RR nila. Unya ubos pa gani akong RR ato ha. Wa lagi klaro. Basi pasangil ra nila to kay bisan kay Gladys ilang reply ky wa daw 113.50 nga opp nga migawas ato nga adlaw. Pirti lagi ka imposible. Lahi2 ila rason.

  • Yeah very expensive jud to watch movies. I remember in GA we always watched movies almost every weekend and it costs us $8.25/person evening show. This was 2006 and 2007, how much more now.
