I think it's $8.25 here in Santa Barbara if you go during the daytime/matinee. Evening I'm pretty sure it's $10.75 without 3d shenanigans added in for adults in the normal time slots. And that's with our incredibly retarded cost of living.
This is a normal movie theater though, so if you are going to something like the Alamo Draughthouse or similar type venues, I would definitely expect to pay more. I know if I go to the Arlington Theatre here it is probably going to be a bit heftier.
Are normal theaters just not good enough these days or something? I can't say I've really done the high end version of going to a movie, and I've always gotten what I would consider a great movie experience.
Could be a California thing though =|

I think he's just retarded and thinks everyone HAS to buy 18 dollars worth of snacks every time they see a movie.
This harkens me back to the discussion where people were arguing movies cost them 100+ dollars because they'd have to get a babysitter, etc etc. For a single person, to see a movie, at night time, costs about 10 dollars most everywhere.

18 dollars? That's like one tub of popcorn here in Dallas. I just go to Alamo Drafthouse instead and drink the entire time.

It's considered healthier now that it was back in the late 80's when news stories started circulating about how much fat there was in theater popcorn because of it. Even though the thinking has come around on it since then they're still content to just let everyone drown their popcorn in however much butter flavoring they need to make it taste good at the cost of loosing the distinctive flavor you couldn't get with home popped corn.

Every Tuesday in Honolulu is $6 movie day, all day long for any movie at the local theater chain (Consolidated). They upcharge ($10) for their version of imax and for "adult only" theaters that serve alcohol. It's a great price.
They also sell $2 popcorn on Tuesday.

I use
Snappy Popcorn Colored Coconut Oil
Flavacol
I use Amish Kernals, i used to use an air popper, but it's decidedly easier to just have a big stainless steel saute pan and put equal parts butter/coconut oil. heat up the oil, then put in some of the Flavacol, swoosh it quickly and then just dump in a cup of popcorn, again swoosh the kernals in the mixture and it should be all covered, should take 3minutes.
It's pretty impossible to burn popcorn.

FFS.....yuuuge disappointment
So much exposition, so much sappy shit and none of the humour of the 1st movie. Quill's father backstory and his goal....wtf really? Kinda like a gigantic piece of shit fan fiction.
Damn I'm pissed i didn't like the movie.
4/10

Yeah, have to agree. It was like one of those terrible sequels where they focus so much on what worked in the original (groot, random humour) that it ruins it. Such a let down after the first one. The first had it's fair share of plot holes but it was easy to ignore them because it was so damn fun. This one, the holes are just too big to ignore and the humour is too forced or just going for the cheap laughs. Such a shame since I really wanted to enjoy it.

Meh, I thought it was good, if not up to the standard of the first one.
My main complaint was it felt overproduced, rather than the quirkiness of the first one - kind of like the new star wars movie - at every point they go with the least risk option, which makes it disappointingly predictable.
