A typical movie nowadays is really more like 2hrs at least - some are way longer than that even. Besides in that $40 I'm including chilling in the lobby/bar area drinking a bit with a couple friends before getting to my seat. Plus there's the pre-gaming before hand (smoking or drinking). All in all it would kill at least 4 hours if not more.

It all depends though. I mean yeah you could go bowl a bunch. You could go to a bar instead. As I said I typically go to the movies maybe once or twice a year now because you're right it isn't worth it most of the time but it's still a fun event once in a while. I can't go to the theater every weekend just like I don't want to bowl every weekend or spend every weekend playing Steam games. Variety is the spice of life.

Plus I live in a more expensive area in general so you say $40 bar tab is a fun night, I say that's about 5 beers.


Right well my point is don't go see Zoolander 2 and then complain that the movie wasn't worth the ticket price because no poo poo. The beer is a good selection usually, at least a couple on tap. Or a nice cocktail or two.

No one is forcing you to get the overpriced poo poo tier beer and then see the shittiest movie possible.

Speaking of radio... how's Sirius XM doing? Streaming services have rendered them completely useless. The fees are still expensive, even though for years they've been begging subscribers to stay with massive discounts.

It does get pretty old listening to another Flo commercial when jumping between stations that are all doing ads at the same time.

I have Sirius in my car and use it pretty frequently, the only thing is I don't pay much for it. After the current period I've paid for ends, I just let it lapse and just listen to music off my usb drive for a while. Sirius will send me increasingly desperate sounding emails until they're finally like OK WE NEED YOUR BUSINESS HERES A CODE FOR $6/6 MONTHS. I'll sign up, go back online, cancel any kind of recurring sub it tried to put me in and still get the 6 months no problem. Then I just let it lapse, lather, rinse, repeat. Been working fine for 2 years, I don't think I've paid more than $25 for a year's worth of service yet

Why would I sell TVs at work?

Gamestop is doing fine I think because of the absurd markup they do on pre-owned games. They'll buy it from you for like $5 then resell it for $55. I haven't traded a game into Gamestop in forever because of this but don't they just give you store credit?
