Those days have longpast… Going to the movies, thanks to ballooning movie budgets and more expensive projection equipment, has skyrocketed in price. In 2015, the average movie ticket price in the US rose to an ...
As previously mentioned, movie theaters have started adding ticket fees for certain shows to insure a certain movie experience. Once upon a time, theater owners would not tolerate small children attending movies after a certain hour or of a certain MPAA rating.

Until as recently as the 1990s, re-releases of popular movies provided a significant source of revenue for movie studios and theatrical exhibitors. Old-faithful movies like The Wizard of Oz or Star Wars might play for matinee audiences full of kids, while adults would seek out repeat showings of The Sound of Music or Gone with the Wind—two movies t...
With the rise of home video came a new push to improve home theater systems.

Though internet service does have a cost, most homes regard it as a necessary utility like electricity or water. Unlike the service of the DWP, however, the internet also offers a good deal of entertainment. Besides the obvious venues like Hu...
Television has come a long way from grainy pictures of cheap, cardboard sets and bad actors turning out a show every week. In the 1990s, Twin Peaks upped the bar on TV storytelling. It attracted a major director—David Lynch—to the medium of television, who insisted on using movie conventions to create the show. Besides pushing the envelope in terms...
People really hate commercials, hence the rise of the DVR, which allows viewers to speed past the advertisements during breaks in TV programming (much to the bane of the networks).
