Up, Up, and Away...$$$$
3-D Glasses
We decided on Saturday to treat the kids to a movie at the local civilian (ie off-base) movie theater to see the new 3-D movie Up. When we got there we were surprised to find that there was a $2.50 surcharge PER PERSON for the movie for the 3-D glasses, so just for us to walk in the door for the movie was $45! Then we spent $40 on popcorn, drinks, and candy. When did the movie theater get so outrageous?! Who knew going to see up would lead to our cash getting UP out of our pocket so quickly?! LOL!
Yep that's $13.46 sitting right there
This compared to our on-base movie treat of $20 for everything for all of us! Plus 3-D glasses at the base theater are free (although they were crappy BUT we have that problem solved now with our $2.50 3-D glasses I'll take with is). I also noticed that during the previews several of the upcoming movies are also in 3-D, score more $$$ for the movie theaters, Ugh!
A surcharge? Your kidding right?! Oh your not? Darn, now I remember we're back in the US again...sigh....
The thing that made me laugh was a giant cardboard box and the movie slides promoting being 'green' by recycling your 3-D glasses (that you just paid $2.50 for each!) by putting them in the box on the way out. I told Mr. B they probably just sterilize them and resell them for another $2.50! So nope we did not recycle them in the box and instead are going to go 'green' by using the base theater and taking our own newly purchased 3-D shades. And personally I didn't think the movie was made anymore spectacular by being in 3-D instead of the normal 2-D, but I'm sure the movie theater is loving it!

Maybe we'll just make it a new fashion to wear 3-D glasses all the time ;) LOL!
