Resolved Question: will you stop going to the movies?
I already have gone less to the movies throughout the last few years because of price hikes...I think i may be done after this (Credit Wall Street Journal for this article).
Major U.S. movie-theater chains, seeking to accelerate the surge in revenues fueled by such 3-D hits as "Avatar" and "Alice in Wonderland," are imposing some of the steepest increases in ticket prices in at least a decade.
The new prices take effect Friday in many markets across the country in theaters owned by such major exhibitors as Regal Entertainment Group, Cinemark Holdings Inc. and AMC Entertainment Inc.

• James Cameron on the Coming DVD Release of 'Avatar'
The increases, in one case as much as 26%, vary from theater to theater, but many cinemas are raising prices most—or even solely—for 3-D showings, which accounted for the vast majority of last year's 10% jump in domestic box-office sales. 3-D movies generated 11% of domestic ticket sales in 2009, up from just 2% in 2008.
At an AMC theater in Danvers, Mass., a Boston suburb, 3-D ticket prices are jumping more than 20% to $17.50 from $14.50, while the adult admission price for a conventional film will remain at $10.50. At one Seattle multiplex, adult admission is rising to $11 from $10 for a conventional film, to $15 from $13.50 for a regular 3-D showing and to $17 from $15 for Imax 3-D.
A 3-D Imax movie at New York City's AMC Loews Kips Bay will cost $19.50, up from $16.50.
The increases weren't announced by the theater operators, but were reflected in prices posted Wednesday on movie-ticketing Web sites, such as Fandango.com.
AMC and Cinemark declined to comment. Comment from Regal wasn't immediately available.

The industry's move comes on the heels of a record-setting year at the domestic box office, with revenue surpassing $10 billion for the first time. Movie attendance in the U.S. and Canada grew 5.5% in 2009, with 1.42 billion tickets sold, the most since 2004. Ticket sales so far this year are running 10% higher.
Movie theaters typically charged $2 to $3 extra for 3-D movies. But the brisk demand for the premium-priced tickets led many exhibitors to conclude they were still underpriced. About 83% of the record $2.6 billion in ticket sales for "Avatar" came from 3-D and Imax screens. And Walt Disney Co.'s "Alice in Wonderland" also set records when it hit 3-D screens earlier this month.
While the new prices could boost theater owners' already buoyant revenues, some industry watchers think they could also spark a consumer backlash. Studios, theater operators, and trade groups have long touted films as a bargain, compared with other forms of entertainment. A decade ago, the average ticket at a multiplex was $5.39, but prices have edged up between 2.7% and 6.1% a year since then, according to the Motion Picture Association of America.
"The U.S. economy isn't in the greatest shape, and there is definitely risk here in pushing price too far in a weak economy," said Richard Greenfield, a media analyst at BTIG LLC, who issued a research report Wednesday on the price hikes.
Mr. Greenfield said the next month will serve as a test of the strategy. "We'll have a sense if there is any pushback" from moviegoers, he said.
Some movie-studio executives expressed concern that the price increases might be too much too soon. "The risk we run is that we will no longer be the value proposition that we as an industry have prided ourselves on," said a distribution executive at one major studio.
Other studio executives agreed that the move was risky, but some, like Dan Fellman, president of domestic distribution for Time Warner Inc.'s Warner Bros., expressed support. "The exhibitors are trying to push the needle on ticket prices and see where it ends up," Mr. Fellman said. "So far charging a $3 or $4 premium has had no effect on consumers whatsoever, so I'm in favor of this experiment to raise prices even more. There may be additional revenue to earn here."
Studios are also in a bind. While many are wary of appearing to gouge consumers, they are also facing higher costs as they produce more movies in the technology-heavy 3-D format. Though ticket prices are set by theater operators, the proceeds are split roughly 50-50 with movie studios.
Five major 3-D films are opening in theaters over the next three months, starting this weekend with DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc.'s "How to Train Your Dragon." That rich selection is one reason theater owners chose to raise 3-D ticket prices now. It may also help set consumers' expectations for future 3- films.
Imax 3-D tickets to "Dragon" are expected to cost an average $1, or 7%, more than Imax tickets to Disney's "A Christmas C
moreVoting Question: Looking for a summer job...?
I need a job for the summer! Ones I am considering are Walgreens, Blockbuster, the Regal cinema (movie theater), and maybe Target. I am 17 years of age and have had past work experience at Winn - Dixie as an Associate (Bagger/Doer of random tasks).
Could anyone provide me with some info regarding the ages these places hire, how competitive they are, what the work is like, how long it would take to get employed, etc. to help me in my decisions?
Other suggestions for places to work would be great as well!
moreVoting Question: Two job interviews today!?
I have two job interviews scheduled for today for my very first job!
I applied at like at least 30 places, and two called me back.
The first is for an amusement park called Kings Island and it starts at 5:00, and the second is for a movie theater called the Regal Cinema. and it starts at 6:30
It'd be nice to work at either place, and I really want either job, but I am SO nervous!
I plan on wearing my hair half up, half down (it makes me look like a third grade teacher, actually), light makeup (which is weird cause i usually wear very heavy dark makeup), my smallest nose ring (you couldnt see it unless you were looking for it, and im not sure if it's against the dress code, so im just covering myself), I switched out my gauges to just big pearl earrings, im wearing a black polka dotted dress that comes to my knees, and a nice little white sweater over top.
All in all, I think I'll look alright, but I have like NO other dress-y clothes
so it'll have to do regardless.
I'm only 16 but i'll be 17 in less than a month, and I am the bubbliest, most obnoxiously friendly person you'll ever meet.
Do you think I have a shot?
Would you offer me any suggestions before I take a giant leap into the big pool of semi-adulthood?
I'm very nervous. lol
Damn you, spambots!

moreResolved Question: If you're under 17, but you still have the tickets to an R rated movie, would you be allowed to go in it?
I want to go see an R rated movie with my friend. We're both 16, so we can't just buy the tickets and go in. However, can you still get inside the movie if your parents or someone else older buys them for you, but doesn't go in with you?
We'd be going to Regal Cinemas.
moreResolved Question: can the movies take driver's permit as id for R movies?
I'm 17 and I don't have my licence yet.
Rated R movies require an Id. Is driver's permit enough to get in, or do I need a photo ID, cause the permit doesn't have a photo?
I live in southern CT and I go to Regal Cinemas.
