Just FYI: a 3d ticket at drafthouse is more than that.

I think my ticket to Hateful 8 (70mm) at the Ritz location of AD was $18.

Now older with a family and so many more things to spend my $ on, I am much more selective about what I will see on the big screen, being limited to kids movies and then blockbusters like star wars and the marvel movies that you appreciate more on a big screen. great stories that don’t really need a big screen to be appreciated I wait for netflix to get them, like the rover, snow piercer etc etc. The cost is definitely limiting… especially in Canada where they charge a bit more. my solution has been to go to costco and buy movies passes there but it’s still $25 for two and then add $20 if it’s a kids movie (needing 4 tickets)

I much rather spend money going to a film where most people might not like but I know there is a big chance I will enjoy it over a rather well liked but not that arousing film. Inherent Vice got mixed reviews yet I knew I was gonna love it and it was really worth seeing on the big screen (watching it later at home really diminished how it looked), so for me its either films by directors I love, films I know I will find interesting or films I know have to be seen on a big screen (the Reverent for all its dour imitation looks better on a big screen, no matter how average it ended up being)

So anything with a mixed reception like the Neon Demon, even if I could fall on the side of the admirers, its gonna have to wait cuz I’m not making that drive and paying that price.

Luckily tho, I do live in a town with an Alamo Drafthouse, and its just as good as you heard. Cool decor, great sets, fantastic screen/audio(its like night and day with the downtown Cinemark everybody goes to), and more importantly a no cellphone/talking policy that’s actually enforced. So on the rare chance I DO make the drive, at least I know I’m in safe hands.
