I am looking forward to seeing this movie, the first one I have even had an interest in seeing since Godfather (the last movie I saw in a theater.

However because I refuse to pay $12 for a ticker and $4.00 for popcorn I will wait until it is available on Amazon Prime for free.

Yeah, I’m cheap in someways but it galls me to be ripped off and todays movie prices are definitely a rip off.

Why do you feel ripped off? In addition, no one makes you buy popcorn or anything else. I never buy anything in a movie theater.

I'm sure you are aware, movies are more expensive to make than back in the 70s when the Godfathers were made.

Further, a $3 movie ticket in 1975, with inflation is now at $14.77, so movie tickets are cheaper than the were in 1975.

They have senior rates at some theaters, as low as $5.

Me too. I wait till they come out on DVD then get them from the local library. Mine has a great program, you can reserve them on their website. Most times you might have to go on a waiting list but when it's your turn, they send you an email telling you they're ready for pick up......

When you return them, they have an outdoor drive thru where you just drop them into the slot.....

Can’t you just use the trunk of a friends car to get in for “free”?
