THing about walking out... how do you know a movie won't pick up later? How do you know there's isnt a good scene you'd like? You might miss the DEATH BLOW!  ;D   Or lets face it, sounds like some of you have wives who get easily offended and apparently they carry your balls in their purse. hee hee

One movie I WISHED I slept through was Coyote Ugly.  OH man, was that movie mis-advertised. THe trailers made it look like it would have hot chicks getting crazy in a bar, and then WHAM! It's a chick flick about some girl's music ambitions and love life. Aaaaagggghhhh!

PS: I think I've heard that here in Ontario movie theatres will refund money up to 30 minutes into a movie.

It is often pretty obvious.

Yeah, I'm not going to continue wasting time on a bad movie. When it got to the, "Look everyone, it's a performance by The Blackeyed Peas" segment in Be Cool, I knew there was no chance the movie would redeem itself. We walked out at that very moment.

It's features prominently on the wiki page you linked.   ::)

Looks like you caught me.  Now everyone knows that I didn't learn about sunk costs from Wikipedia.

The ticket is a sunk cost.  Even if you switch to a different movie, so long as the decision was made because you want to get your money's worth, you were making a decision on the basis of sunk costs.  If you switched theaters because there happens to be a movie that you really want to see and you think it's worth your time, you are making a decision based on the value of that movie vis-a-vis the next two hours of your life, in which case your decision was based on prospective costs.

LMAO . . . I just read the stuff on Wikipedia regarding ticket prices.   :laugh2:  WTF is your point?  Is confirms in no uncertain terms exactly what I've been saying.  Exactly.  Classic.
