How many people will be joining you?
Me, one wife, and 3 kids.
So you’re looking at $20 a head. Are concessions included in your deal? Are they even offered?
Available, not included. Looks like we might also have to pay for a movie ticket. @#$%!!

Honestly this is a terrible deal. I'd maybe do it if I could bring a bunch of friends but five people? $100 plus food and tickets?
strange times, i think this a cool idea. it'll be a few hours of fun and normal for B and the family, and it'll feel worth it.
i have a movie buff friend; i may recommend to his wife she do this for him for xmas.
Seriously it's a horrible idea B. It'd make much more sense to buy your kids some Lego sets that you can spend hours putting together that slowly over time get disassembled and thrown in a box with 10,000 other bricks making them essentially useless like every other parent on the planet. That's how you spend $100 for Christmas.

You're not raining on my parade, Jorge. I don't give a fuck what strangers on the internet think. If I did, this board would have driven me to suicide in 2003.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I mean I also live in a country with a ridiculously devalued currency where $200 is a buttload of money and more than some people make in a month, so my perspective is a bit skewed. I haven't been in the US in almost a year, but yeah, I guess I forgot $200 melts away pretty fast up there
