I was just at the movies last night to see a new release... and was one of 6 people in the theater.
Today at lunch with a friend, we commented on just how expensive it is to go to the movies these days, and with so many people cutting back unnecessary expenses... this was one of the first to go in his family. It cost me $19.75 for 1. The movie 2. Small popcorn 3. Small water. My friend brought up another good point that I had not considered... when he goes to the movies he also has to factor in the cost of a baby sitter.
Here go the layoffs in entertainment...

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Time Warner Inc. says it is closing its Picturehouse and Warner Independent Pictures film studios and <strong>eliminating 70 jobs</strong>.
The move is the latest in a series of cost-cutting efforts by Time Warner President and CEO Jeff Bewkes (BYOO-cuss) since he took over as chief executive Jan. 1.
Despite the move, Chief Operating Officer Alan Horn says he is confident the spirit of independent filmmaking will continue to have a presence at Warner Bros.
The company says the job cuts in Los Angeles and New York are meant to eliminate duplicate marketing, distribution and production functions.
In February, Time Warner also announced it was <strong>laying off 450 people </strong>at New Line Cinema as the independent studio was absorbed into Warner Bros.</span>
