At that price, the second some gob*feces*e's cell phone rings, or some dumb*fudge* starts talking to his date, or some *fudge*wit's baby starts crying, I'd come totally unglued. I'm talking clock tower sniper rifle kind of unglued. It's better for everyone that I just stay home and watch a DVD.

Man, we've had this Gold Class service for eons.  Most of the time Gold Class seating is sold out for all sessions. But for $30 a session I'm not gonna waste my money to see a crap movie. Ultimatley, if you want to pony up that kinda change to view a movie in style knock yourselves out....  |

I can fall asleep in five minutes at the regular price, or I can fall asleep in five minutes at the premium price. Guess what I pick.

Thanks to you, Aske, and hobbit, and the introduction to avsforum, I will not be one of those paying $35 per ticket. Thanks to you, Aske, and hobbit, and the folks at avsforum, I'm spending a boatload more than that downstairs right now  I may even have some of those recliners, not sure yet. |

Can not imagine paying that kind of price for viewing movie in a public venue. Have not regretted my purchases this past December. All based upon info from Aske and others on this forum. I now have a great theater experience at home. Have used this system more than used my old theater system in the past 5 years. Now I really am an old fat couch potato. |

I stopped going to movies when they closed down the Cinema and Draught Houses.

Wow, never heard of this. I'll pass, but it seems to be doing better than I would have expected.
