I can't help commenting on the bit about the
old-fashioned theatres and such. I work in one of
those modern theatres and while it's nice, it's just
not the same. 

I get into price discussions with lots of people who
come in to buy tickets. The conversation usually
starts with them bemoaning the cost of their tickets,
to which I always ask how cheap they recall tickets
being when they were younger. I usually win on this
one, unless I'm talking to seniors, because I grew up
on overseas Air Force bases and only paid the
equivalent of 25 cents for movie + popcorn + drink. 

Anyone else remember when they used to show serials
before the Saturday matinees at the movies? Anyone
remember when they used to play the national anthem
and all the kids would stand up and be quiet? Anyone
else old enough to remember that? :-D
