The movie "Flight" is in theaters today, starring Denzel Washington. Here's a preview, for those of you that haven't heard of the movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnVNNR6CEOE Yes, that's an MD-80 with winglets, which is as mythical a creature as the three legged purple unicorn. Before I moved to Bellevue the last time I went to a movie…

I'll have to go check that out. But I live so close to a decent movie theater already with $7.50 tickets. I'm not sure I can convince Megan to spend upwards of $25 plus drive an hour.

Sadly "Flight" won't be released here in Japan until March 2013!

$18 is expensive for a movie? That's the standard in Australia! :/

Lucky, if you purchase a $100 giftcard on iPic's website, they give you a $10 one for free. 10% back! 🙂

It's a nice theatre - price is fairly in-line with regular theatres when you account for a free drink and popcorn. For non-locals, ipic or other similar theatres are pretty much all over the country, be it in Austin or Omaha. With that said, that's just the usual price and not a tens of dollar upgrade.

You should sign up online though for that member (just requires an email) if you make a habit of going there frequently. While there are other perks, it's primary a trade of your email address for a few dollars off on tickets.

@Stephanie,
So the trick is to buy multiple $100 iPic cards during the right Chase Freedom quarter to get 15% back. Throw in Ink plus or bold + Vanilla rellad, that is 20% back in points, which is roughly 40% cashback (at 2 cents a point)

Lucky, you may as well go see it in a theater as that film won't be making it onto any IFE systems.

Denzel Washington has a great voice, but I have the feeling I'll be cringing throughout the movie at the lapses from reality.

If there's an aairplane ready to faall apaart, it's the MD-80. Who haas the biggest remaaining fleet?

It's in New Orleans too -- press a button and get the frosty glass of adult beverage and foo-foo chef-prepared snacks brought to your movie seat, at room service prices and 18% service charge included though. However, the seat picker itself is broken. The seats we chose had already been sold...fortunately the movie was not a popular one so we had no problem sitting in other good seats.

God, that's cheaper than the regular cinemas here in Australia and you get all that extra stuff! Crazy
