Patience patience patience Blu-Ray 3D - big god damn screen in the privacy of my own house with better, cheaper popcorn and brews - and the ability to pause the movie for a wiz ---

> [@Hampshire](#): > > Well if your just looking to pay general admission for some local live music it might be cheap. But you won’t see a headlining national act for $18. No Kenny Chesney, John Mayer, Tom Petty, Maddona, Billy Joel, Justin Bieber, Rush, Eagles, Prince, Fall Out Boy, etc. or whatever genre of popular music most people like. > [@Dissonance](#): > > Agreed, I never understood the appeal of watching a band live when you are so far away you’re watching them on giant screens. Back in the day Fugazi would only charge $5. I wouldn’t see most of the above bands either because I don’t like them or, like Dissonance and I mentioned, they play too large of a venue to get a good experience. Paying $100 to see a video screen is indeed comparable to a movie ticket. Fall Out Boy is an exception to those two reasons for me not going. They would have been around $36 and have played at the House of Blues, my limit for size (fits less than 2000 people and is on two levels so some of those will be upstairs. Definitely no video needed unless you’re behind a post.) Now, Fall Out Boy would have actually been more than $36 because it sold out the first day. I am all for venues charging what they actually would sell at rather than leaving it to the scalpers but that was the base price. But like I said $36 is around the _average_ for medium and small venues and obviously if I really wanted to see Fall Out Boy I’d be paying more than that, but some shows are less than that. But I was trying to say that $36 is not _expensive_ compared to $18 for a movie in a small venue because you have a personal and relatively intimate performance. ---

But ummm $18 bucks for an IMAX 3D ticket really ?!?WTF?!?😕 Go fuck a cactus you communist. You’re just like those occupy wallstreet retards, “Wah wah, I work at McDonalds licking toilets clean but I should be making $100,000 a year and get a free house and a Bently beacuse some guy who got the education and experience necessary to get those things has them. It’s not fair. Wah wah.” > [@PSXer](#): > > and then you have to pay $20 for popcorn am I right > [@Ludovic](#): > > No, but what’s different?

See, you occupy wallstreet idiots? There’s your free shit right there. ---

I thought this was going to be about how mind-blowingly stupid this movie is. Now _that_ is a pitting I can get behind! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pacific-rim/663241.md?page=1)
