Movie Hopping Question?

NaTuReB0Y · 08-05-2006, 01:42 AM

I took the kids today to watch "The Ant Bully" and

afterward we hopped over to watch "Superman Returns."

Movies nowadays are so damn expensive......

Do you think it was wrong to watch two movies for the price of one?

lol. first time i've ever heard a dad doing this with his kids. i don't think its necessarily "bad" i mean, its not really criminal or something. But then again, it would be kind of embarassing if your kids told his peers or teachers what their daddy taught them. lol

Have you ever movie-hopped for the WHOLE day?

And you're complaining about the cost of see a movie? You wouldn't shoplift would you? It's the same thing.

When Napster was at it's prime, it was easy to listen to 10,000 songs for the price of none.

How much are movies where you live? They are $7 here and that's not bad considering everything else is expensive. Snuck into a movie once and downloaded free songs but now I pay for everything and then some.

Going to the movie with your family: $50

Popcorn, candy, soda: $40

Thinking about movie hopping but opting to pay for the second movie: $50

For everything else...

Karma, karma, karma!

tl_boy · 08-05-2006, 03:12 PM

i think its okay if you're with your friends or something, but I would never do that in front of my kids. I wouldn't cuss in front of my kids either.When i have kids someday this is.

lol natureboy. you are unique.

but yes. movie hopping is awesome when you have to pick ONE movie to watch since you don't want to waste money on 2 movies. Just hop around.

Yep, that's about it.

I'd say most people have hopped in jr high / high school. Later in life as people get older I'd think they generally take more responsibility and vote with their wallets more. If it's worth seeing/doing/using, it's worth paying for. Ya kinda wonder what this'll teach the kids if this is the norm...
