Arrgg, laugh at me if you will. I did not see this coming.<br /><br />My kids love the first of the Hobbit movies and I promised them we'd go to the second at Christmas time (same as we did last Christmas). So I just happenned to be flush with a generours tip and the kids had a small victory that was worth celebrating and work let me go early at 2pm. So when I picked them up at the after school program I decided to just go ahead and take them to the movies. <br /><br />The older of the two is in a wheel chair from her recent surgery and we made the trek on the very un-wheelchair-friendly Boston subway. At the movie theater I discovered that the only convient showings werre for the 3d Imax theater. Not the cheaper regular theater. This meant I had a choice of go home or pay the $50.00 for one adult and two children to get in. Popcorn, nachoes and bottle water only ran me $33. I get that an Imax showing of a movie should cost more but the sticker shock of $50 to take your kids to the movies was staggering. Well, at least that tip covered this, mostly.<br /><br />I can safely say that despite how fast the story moved it suffered from an acute lack of editing and that the departures from the original story became quite divergent. My tip to you: wait and get the DVD.
