After 23 years of film criticism, I was back in front of the screen as a civilian. I had no idea what I would find. --by former NY Times film critic A.O. Scott

    Where did you get the 100 dollars from? Checked on Fandango, an adult ticket to a new release costs ~15 dollars in LA right now, which I think is pretty reasonable.

      A regular theater you’re looking at 30 for two tickets + what, another 20-30 for drinks and popcorn. Candy will push you over 70. An average persons full day of pay after tax. 100 is a stretch in that instance. Take into account the closest 3 theaters to me are all nicer theaters with real food drinks and wait staff, it’s impossible to come out of there for under 100
