    Wouldn't it be with the last credit card that had the game?

      I wish. New York it's about $12 unless you take advantage of the one matinee showing for a new release. And if you're talking 3D or IMAX, you're paying close to $20 a ticket. This is why I hardly watch movies anymore.

      Theater is too expensive and by the time they hit Blu Ray my excitement for the film has died and I forget about it.

      Man... and I thought ticket prices were bad here. I rarely go to see movies because of the price.

        What's nice, is that the Costco here has a deal where you can buy 2 movie vouchers for $16.99 and redeem them at the box office at the theater.

        It's a hell of a lot better than paying $10 and up for a single ticket by itself.

          People who make videos of sick stuff such as beheadings and animal cruelty for example.

          And even worse are the people who watch them and share the nasty details about it later.

          Ugh

            Agreed on the animal cruelty. Every time I see or read about neglected/abused dogs it makes me sick to my stomach and very upset.

              I ****ing hate the idiots that share the posts of abused animals with the "1 liek = 1 respectz"

              It's horrifying to see.

                I can't stand it. Why do people have to treat animals like that and then think it's funny enough to post on the internet for everyone to see? And why the hell do people have to watch that stuff?

                I try to avoid that stuff like the plague.

                    The invitee should never be expected to pay in any situation. That's like recruiting a prostitute and making her pay you. OK not totally the same but whatever

                      Can't prove they did it, you have situation where someone thought it would be clever to create a photocopy of the disk and replace it, could be the new renter, could have been the last renter, could have been an even prior renter if a subsequent renter just returned it after they discovered the ruse.

                            People who don't know how to park!

                            There is this one guy at the gym I go to who always parks his van crooked or at some screwed up angle and just gets out and leaves it like that.

                            Annoying.
                            I hate those people that think because they got a new car (normally this is with muscle cars, mustangs, chargers, etc..) and they take up 2 parking spots and park horizontally.

                            My keys would like to say hello to your new car.

                              Her - *Looks at me*

                              Honestly, I don't mind paying so long as I'm asked. Being expected to pay gets under my skin like nothing else.
