    Great tip, thank you. I also loved Peanuts as a kid. My son loves Guaraldi's music...he's already asked to go see the movie this weekend.

    And sadly, yes $50 is about right for the movies these days. I have become expert at sneaking in the snacks and water bottles.

    10 dollars for a hot dog and drink.
    funny thing about that instance, was a lady had 2 sons with her and they sat near the screen so did we. These kids where all over the place. They had a bag of popcorn, which they threw the entire bag on the floor under the screen and proceeded to eat the popcorn off the floor. It was a nightmare in my mind.

    How can you not believe it? Do you watch the news? A black person screamed racism. You don't investigate. You don't penalize someone if they did wrong. You simply demand someone's head. That's the way it works these days period! I can tell you from the perspective of large corporations, if someone makes a claim of racism the accused person is immediately presumed guilty. Then there is an immediate rush to pacify the accuser no matter what it takes. If need be there can be an investigation later.

    It's the same mentality you saw in Ferguson. No need for an investigation, the white person had to be guilty. Threaten his life, call for the heads of everyone in charge and burn the town down if you need to. Then if the investigation later reveals there was no wrong doing the story simply fades away. No one is arguing that racism doesn't exist. No one is saying that racism isn't wrong. But this overreacting, knee jerk political correctness has reached an insane level and it shows no sign of getting better. You're only going to see more of this in the near future.
