Just add a little recession-friendly alcohol behind the counters, though, and hear those cash registers sing.

I like the way you think. This would have turned Sweeney Todd into a sing-a-long!

If you get to cash in your points for that, make sure they include your own personal projectionist and concession stand attendant. It should all be a part of the package, like covered parking or a kitchen with a window. It's all about the details.

Oh, and anyone who can pay $23 for a baseball ticket don't live in Red Sox Nation.

@wundergirl: Yeah, but I am hopping I can put my 2000-some Archlight points towards the down-payment on a house.

"When pressed further, Glickman claimed to have an answer to the failing industry. 'More from those wonderful boys at Spyglass,' he said to TIME. 'Seriously, Mr. 3000 ? Incredible. Why, Spyglass Pictures will revolutionize the industry!"

Pssshhht. The last two things I went to the movies for were Hannah Montana 3D and Ratatouille (yeah, I have a kid). And honestly...the ONLY thing anyone in my house is spending money on entertainment-wise is Disney-related apart from iTunes music purchases. I agree it is good escapist therapy; but anything other than the Diz depresses me as being trite and crappy without any excuse to ask my tolerance of such (unlike Disney)...Buy stock, peeps.

This "number crunching quote whore" says my last movie was U2 in 3D and I could've used some 420 behind the concession stand if I may suggest some new ways to burnish concession sales. Think of it. Isn't the concession stand at any movie theater actually a munchie's paradise? Hmmmmmmmm

As Secretary of Agriculture, he recommended products high in corn syrup to relieve your recession blues.

Raise your hand if you live in a major metropolitan area and have paid less than $10.00 for a movie ticket AFTER 1995...

I remember when $7.50 was an outrageous price for a movie ticket. Now I'll sell my soul to the Arclight any night of the week for $13.00 and fresh caramel popcorn.

7 dollars a ticket, my backside. More like 11 dollars in New York, (and I bet comparable in L.A.)

But he's right about movies being cheaper than the shrink.
