Avatar returns August 27th

If you missed the second most  visual cinemagraphic event of our lifetimes the first time you skipped over Avatar, I recommend don’t miss it this time! 

I feel too that I’m seeing  recently many movies relying heavily on the "gimmick" of 3D to make make up for crappy scripts and plotless junk while looking to make a buck in markets  exploiting new technologies. Duly note  you pay a surcharge of  about $3 a ticket for 3D.  That’s pushing  the average ticket cost towards $14, unless you’re over 50 and can get your tix for the discounted Senior rate of  $8.50 without the 3D.

My friend Rick commented recently he and wife blew a $50 bill at the movies last month when they each had a drink and shared a large popcorn.  I don’t think Rick knew about asking for the Senior discount. Point there is that ticket cost are continuing to jump upwards.

Re-releasing Avatar, is clearly profit taking, but   Avatar is  worth every penny unless you have an 80 foot home theater screen and a 10,000 watt Dolby Digital sound system at home to boot. Highly recommended by TheDad for its unprecedented and stunning visual presentation.

Oh, Disney’s Fantasia was years ahead of itself too.
