Anyone here as big a fan of the almost-10-year-old movie Sideways as I am?

Probably not.

Friggin' love that movie.
 
6 Things Nobody Tells You About Working at Disney World | Cracked.com

Back in the day a source(guy who worked there who my father knew well) always spoke about how the princesses were a bunch of alcoholics and of 'loose moral fiber'. There is that hidden Disney book, but they sell that in the park, so how deep can that be. Surely, somewhere, there is a site where you can read alllllll kinds of things Disney's lawyers are trying to supress. I want to believe...
 
Bunch of alcoholics and of 'loose moral fiber, eh?

That describes me. So does that make me a prince? mhihi:

Who Wants Movie Theaters To Be More Like Airlines?

I was wondering where this dude was from, but I went back to the article, and I noticed it's going to be in Toronto.

I don't mind this practice that much. El Capitan, for example, has been doing this for years and years. The possible difference is that they also hook you up with popcorn and a drink for your extra bucks. And the popcorn comes in a collectible, reusable tub that is generally movie-specific. It was even better when they also had their app. Then, you not only go all that but also a free premium gift. I got a Brave poster in a really nice bag out of that as well as one of my all-time favorite movie premiums: a hero medal from Wreck-It Ralph. I also think cinemas that decide to go this route should also provide comfier chairs for the extra cost, but I don't expect that to happen.

BTW, the chairs at the Chinese IMAX are great!
 
I have to try that Chinese Imax again. Saw Gravity there and I wasn't very impressed, may have been the movie though. Yeah, the ElCapitan is kind of a different animal entirely. That's a boutique theater and while I like the idea of the premiums and popcorn to offset the additional charges, it sets a bad precedent. They compare to the airlines...well, I am sure that whatever point they started at was probably a minor inconvenience and now it's gotten so bad that they probably will start a meter running the minute you step on the airplane and charge you like taxicabs at this point. I am not a fan of select-a-seat at theaters...I like coming in early and trying out the seat before you commit to it(also it encourages being late and sitting while the previews/movie has started). But that is something I have had to accept and it has caused me basically to frequent the same theaters where I have previous knowledge of my favorite seats. I think the general theaters having staggered pricing is really a slippery slope. And where does it stop? I LOVE aisle seats for the extra leg room. So do a lot of people. You raise the price on the center seats and all it really does is give them the right to raise prices all around. Theaters are scrambling. Instead of talking raised prices they should be lowering, but I will settle for a freeze.
