Last movie I saw on the big screen was “Star Wars III”, in Kenner, LA., a few months before Hurricane Katrina roared through.
My afternoon ticket was $8.00. My cup of coffee was $5.00, and that was just a cup of coffee, no Starbucks wowee factor. My nachos were $5.00.
I have had no compulsion to visit the movie theater, in the town across the river.

A few years ago they put up a huge multiplex a few towns away; I was shocked and sure it would fail. The place is expensive, yet somehow packed all the time. I can only deduce that despite all of the technology, some people just want to “go out”.
I only go to the movies when the kids want to see something; I highly recommend the “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” movies for kids. No racial overtones, the intact family (with THREE children) attends Mass, good laughs, all in all probably the last vestige of how life was and could be if we make it so.
Kenner has a movie theater? Thought you would have had to go to Lake Charles or Jennings for that.
The last movie I saw on the big screen was "Annie" back in 1982. and that was because my wife at the time bought the tickets as part of a PBS fundraiser.
The only ones I recall seeing before that were "Ben Hur" with Heston and "Easy Rider".
