I’m not sure if you’ve met any know it alls, but they do not actually know it all. He plays (may not actually be acting) as a blow hard who insists he knows what’s best and routinely gets shown the error of his ways. When I watch TG or TGT, the impression I get is that this is a man who has gotten to play with…

I’m a bit confused by the above claim that “Clarkson, a man who famously presents himself as very dumb”, as though I haven’t seen any of the farming show in Top Gear his persona was “the arrogant know it all”.

A friend met him at a garden party once (she was doing the catering, rather than being a guest) and said he…

Whoever they are they should improve their aim

Clarkson is denying that these words mean what they clearly mean, posting on Twitter that he has “not been sacked.” On top of that, a spokesperson for ITV told Sky News that “neither Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? nor Jeremy Clarkson have been canceled.”

He will truly be missed...by someone...probably.

Yeah, we have a very small chain of two(I think it use to be 3) theaters called Hollywood Blvd and Hollywood Palms in the Chicago south west burbs. They are a bit of a hike for me these days but they are still some of the best places to see a movie.

...which charges different prices for different movies at different times of the day based on demand?

Yes, it’s inflation, whether a price increase is real or nominal is only determined once you adjust for inflation.

Raising the prices of movie tickets according to inflation IS FUCKING INFLATION

What’s the point of the comparison other than in the broadest terms: “these are both shows in a franchise”? Andor is like a 70s political thriller. Mando is a spaghetti western. Neither one “does” something to the other.

Some of us like episodic Westerns

Yes, in the context of inflation, which is what we hear all the time. There has been inflation in every decade. So in real terms, already overpriced movie tickets are getting even more expensive.

Also, I’m not really feeling the “inflationary times cause costs to rise” thing.  Costs are rising because people setting the prices are raising costs.  Don’t blame nebulous “inflationary times.”  You and others who control the means of production are choosing to raise costs to keep your profits high.  Which is fair…

The theater isn’t the art. lol  The reason he has to raise prices is that people are learning that theaters are becoming mostly unnecessary now.  They’ll pay to see the big action blockbusters, but they can get as good or better of an experience with the quieter movies on their high-definition TVs at home.  

Yeah you’ve fucking made that very clear in your 5 different responses. Learn how to use the internet grandpa, or better yet, get the fuck off of it and stop defending millionaires for wanting more money at our expense. 

No, it’s not. He’s talking about RAISING the prices for middle seats, not lowering the market rate cost for first row seats.

That’s what he’s talking about.

WTF are you talking about? 

Glad I live close to a Marcus and an independently owned and operated movie theater. 

You’re just supposed to lick the corporate boot, not swallow it whole.
