Yep... I always had my student ID or international student ID with me in Japan, which got a ticket about US$10 (likely US$15 in Tokyo). London has just as atrocious prices for movie tickets. The US meanwhile typically gouges you on popcorn and drinks to charge a slightly less price (which is why I don't feel bad about smuggling in some Reese's Pieces and a can of Sprite before I go).
Anywho, it has made me more picky about what I watch. Though Dead Man's Chest is likely going to be near the top of my list for stuff coming out this year (it is this year, right?). KF

Lord, I'm walking your way. Let me in, for my feet are sore, my clothes are ragged.
Look in my eyes, Lord, and my sins will play out on them as on a screen. Read them all.
Forgive what you can and send me on my path. I will walk on until you bid me rest.

Yeah I was in Nagasaki in 2004 for about 9 months and even with the student discount, I think it was $15. A couple times I paid it cause I had nothing else to do. College over there -- way too much free time, which was good and bad. demo zannen ne. And of course a couple times friends ended up treating me. Nothing like Gaijin charm

damn, my $3.50 per movie ($2.50 matinee) is looking really good now...........I guess it pays to live in a small town.
Wash: Yeah, but psychic? That sounds like science fiction.
