Well, maybe they figured since your post-grad, there's no point in putting
an expiration date on your ID since how many post-grads actually *leave*
at that point?
My ID did have an epiration date on it. But even then, it only knocked
about $2 off the normal $9 price (ah, those were the days). Since then,
the price has gone to $10 - $12, if you buy using one of those webservices
like Fandango or whatever. Even matinees are $7. Bleh.
Last time we went to the movies was when we got a set of free tickets to
The Incredibles. That was one movie that was worth seeing on the big
screen...but then again, I'm a lifelong animation fan. Nothing else I've
seen recentally was worth seeing in theaters at those prices.
