I loved going to the theater as well, but when prices have doubled in less than 5 years, it's really hard to stomach it. When the Avengers came out, my siblings and I watched it close to a dozen times in theaters. Doing that today would be insanely expensive. I wasn't keen on watching Cap 4 in theaters, but my sister was quite excited for it for some reason.

Hard to say. I feel tickets are really expensive in the UK, but I think they've not actually increased that much more than inflation - overall.

Often things can go up a lot in a short time, but can also remain static for a long time, and they sort of balance out. I'm pretty sure a typical PC computer game (full AAA cost) was ~£30-35 from around 2000 all the way to around 2020. That's one hell of a long time for a price to remain effectively static.

Now it's gone up to ~£50-60, which seems like a big jump and feels really painful, but checking inflation, games are about the same real terms price as 20-25 years ago. And if it were not for the 20% or so decline in the value of the pound relative to the dollar (thanks, Brexit), it would probably be cheaper than 20-25 years ago.

Nosferatu: Meh / Great

Dracula buys a new house, and the bank sends a guy to be the rube for the former's proclivity for hot young women.

Not sure what I was expecting given all of the high praise I've seen, but a very "meh" movie for me. Nothing exceptional, nothing exciting, just another take on "Dracula" which ceased to be interesting decades ago. Maybe I'm spoiled given Anne Rice's vampires became the much more interesting take on the vampire for me years 30 years ago. Might have missed the point, but, meh, old guy in a coffin covets young woman... okay, AND?
