The Increasingly Unjustifiable Enterprise of Going To the Moo-vies

Movie prices rose this weekend, making going to the movies just embarrassing at this point. On average, to see movies in 2D in New York costs $11, in non-Imax 3D up to $18, while getting the full Imax effect can cost you close to $20 for a ticket, and therefore
