  1. While I support the aim of the Coolidge Corner Theatre, I cannot help but decry the outrageous cost of the tickets. Nine dollars is far too pricey to see a movie you could buy on DVD for the same price. I realize the point of the experience is to view the classic movies on the silver screen, but a poor, unemployed college student such as I simply cannot afford to “get off that couch,” no matter how much I would like to, just to see a movie I’ve already seen multiple times merely on a bigger screen. Pick one or two movies you would enjoy seeing, but by no means make it a weekly occurrence.

  2. At $9 a ticket and a a comparable amount for snacks and a drink – movies at the public theatre now fall into the realm of play and opera prices. I don’t blame the theaters, I just don’t go anymore.

    As far as collective experience, outside of a blacksploitation film in an African-American neighborhood or the Rocky Horror Picture show, it very rarely happens.
