The Buckets by Greg Cravens for July 30, 2013

A LANDLINE!!Teenagers don’t know how to work those.

Aaaaaaaaahhhh!Grandpa’s drink is a disaster waiting to happen!

I used a rotary landline up until I was 14. That was, until 1994.Then we gotFINALLY I moved out on my own, and got my first phone…..I remember when the Nortel phone was $300!!! Now, you can find them for about $75.

Home’s still better. Nowadays, you can wait six months after the premiere of the film and get the DVD for the same price (and sometimes less) as the ticket. And if you like the film, you can watch it as many times as you want for no additional cost and if you don’t, you can trade it in at a used DVD place for a credit.

The last movie I saw in a theater was The Godfather (Part one). They can make their $Billions$ on popcorn off someone else.

Good point Sarah!

We never get popcorn when we go to the movies, my 12 year old daughter is the only one who really asks for it. I usually get her some to pop at home or a little dollar bag from Target.

I don’t go to the movies… I’m not much of a film watcher but I would prefer to watch them for free in my own home.

Still trying to get together with a friend to see WWZ (World War Z also known as Plan B). .Yes, I get the big popcorn at the theatre. I season it well with the chili peppers in the shaker. After the movie – I get a free refill. So lots of popcorn for snack at home. .The chairs in the theatres are a lot more comfortable than when we were kids. Got stuck sitting way, way down in front for Star Trek – Into Darkness. Thank goodness for the high neck rests!
