Same, went a bit off the rails but at least it was a different twist. I did enjoy seeing him dressed as Tilda Swinton.

$9 large popcorn
$6 small soda
$5 junior soda
$5 junior soda
+ $5 tax
$71.
Sorry I misremembered and guess I rounded up a bit.
I'm not rooting on the death of movie theaters. I'm just sad that it is so expensive to just go to the theater with my kids without sneaking in snacks or telling them they can't have any since that's part of the experience.

Heck, when I ride solo and hit the discounted movie day, I still end up spending around $28 riding solo. If I went to an evening showing on an RPX screen it would probably be another $15.

The American Psycho bit was very funny.

I almost never go above 20. I'll eat dinner before, pick up some candy from the dollar store, and bring my water bottle in. Maybe a small treat at the theater on occasion, but I'm there primarily for the movie.

I mean that makes sense and that's what I would do by myself but my kids absolutely love the treat of getting a soda and popcorn and it is part of why they get excited to go to the theater.

Oh man, those prices are darn right cheap compared to the movie theaters by us. Cheapest soda was $11 last two different chains we tried in Atlanta (Regal and AMC). My wife was going to get a small popcorn, but that with the soda was $20 and it was $22 for the combo with the large popcorn. I don't need snacks in a movie, but she's the worst

I can watch a movie in my recliner at home without some schmohawk coughing or fucking with his phone. When I go to the theater I am going for the full experience which includes concessions (popcorn and a soda). The only thing I occasionally sneak into the theater is a flask of whiskey so I can Irish up my Diet Coke.

I suffered that movie last week, so I feel your pain!
I'm really hard to please with shark movies. Sounds like Under Water (sharks in Paris) on Netflix might actually be fun though. Have that queued up for my Aquatic Horror daily Pride Watch challenge next Monday.

You should compile a Letterboxd list!
The Sound of Summer (French/Japanese cicada body horror)
Soooo many Ghiblis (as many have already mentioned)
Horror in the High Desert & HitHD: Minerva
The Endless
Resolution
Spring
The Outwaters
Ava (2017)
Summer of 84
Tremors
I've been fixated on doing pretty much the exact opposite of what you're asking for with my growing Winter Horror list. (It's the Wisconsinite in me.)
Yuletide Holiday Horrors & Chilly Winter Thrills
When the weather outside is frightful, stay inside where it's (hopefully) safer than whatever's happening on screen in any of these spine-chilling, snow-laden winter horror movies and thrillers. Need a new seasonally appropriate genre watch? Hit "Shuffle" in the Sort By dropdown above and hunt...

My parents have always been super cheap and we never got popcorn, candy or drinks at the movies. To this day, I don't really get any of that when I go unless my wife and I go together and she always needs all of it.

All ya’lls chatter convinced me to sign up for Letterboxd. It’s fun so far! Though I have to wade through like the million or so horror movies I’ve watched and it’s proving difficult. Lol

Apologies to my LB mutuals' activity feeds this weekend. Opted for the virtual pass for Portland Horror Film Fest, and they've got a metric ton of short films on the docket. (Streaming access extends through 6/13.)
Selection has been fun so far. A few of the shorts have grabbed me more than the features, though there's still 4 features to go.
I may do the same for Chattanooga Film Festival in a couple weeks.

Davy Jones is awesome, Will is annoying, movie could use a little trimming.

This one and the first one are a total blast. Just old school adventure filmmaking and Verbinski has a real knack for the insane, kinetic, practical setpieces that make them so much fun.
I think these movies disappear up their own ass starting with the third one when the outrageous lore becomes the focus (why the fuck am i confused at the plot of a Disney pirate film), but the first two
