this is exactly why i haven't been to see a movie in a movie theater since one of the Star Wars movies. the concessions stand prices, as well as the (high) cost of seeing movies in a movie theater.
I'm pretty sure the first one is, not so sure about the second. I saw it at the theater, first time I've gone to one in 6 years. Fits in well with my crass, warped sense of humor. Both made me laugh right out loud quite hard several times each
hmmm...i did see either Ted or Ted 2. if they're available via any of my streaming options, i'll check them out!
That is exactly why I usually don't go. There are so many better options.

these days, if you wait a bit, the movie will be available either on tv, or to watch/stream online -- or via hulu, netflix, or amazon instant video.
i love watching movies that are really funny, especially ones that make me laugh out loud!
Oh, I assure you, both movies will do so!

Yes, that is the one! I have to look up those other ones now, I don't think I've seen those specific ones (I think similar, but not the same name).
There's also one in Buffalo Grove, kinda sorta old-timey (ha, 80s-like is old-timey now). It's not stadium style seating, and concession just has popcorn and candy (no pizza, the horror!), but it has first-run movies for a LOT less money. Less than half of that of regular theaters.
there's only one movie theater in the rochester, ny area that i know of that offers recliners. but then, i've lived 'in the sticks' for working on my fifth year, and there aren't any movie theaters in my general area.Yes, that is the one!

And in regards to going to the theater - I'll only go now to theaters that I can reserve a seat at and have a reclinerI also like to go to a theater in Addison, IL, that has lower prices than most of the theaters I've been to. It's a long drive, but sometimes I like to go for long drivesThere's also one in Buffalo Grove, kinda sorta old-timey (ha, 80s-like is old-timey now).

Agreed. The thing I hate the most about going out to the movies (other than the exorbiant cost) is how rde some people can be buy talking in a stage whisper while you are trying to watch a movie. And cell phones are the WORST!!! Is is such a hard thing to turn them off for 90 minutes? Everytime I've heard one during a movie, it made me wanna go up to the offending party, take that cell phone out of their hand and stick it in an inappropriate area located somewhere on their body. But I digress...
I feel the same way that you do. I don't go to the movies very often. When I do, I go to the latest showing possible. Often at 10:30 or 11 PM. DD and I have done this MANY times and I can't tell you how many times we've had the theater to ourselves. Occasionally, there's a few others but not often. I buy our tickets online in advance. It's nice when they have to show it just for you! Many times, we've been the last ones out of the theater with the exception of the employees.
i saw Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason a while back, which was really good!
all very good points!
I don't know of any theater around here that will let you bring in your own food and drinks. There are signs and staff watching.

We're night owls anyway so for us, why not go late? I hit Dollar Tree and grab snacks and drinks beforehand and we're good to go. I don't buy the popcorn at the theater. They reheat what they don't sell the night before the next day. Warm doesn't mean fresh. I also refuse to pay the ridiculous prices at the concession stand. Last Christmas day (2014), DD and I went to a late movie and we brought McNuggets in.
We put it in DD's backpack. They never see it.
Call me a prude but I'm unable to watch Ted one never mind yes two.
