You shouldn't be going to the movies, especially this one (which bombed by the way) if you're in financial trouble. By the way, saving $20 by not to going to a movie to get your mind off your problems won't save your house. That’s the point we were trying to make.

I have never been that indulgent even when I was doing ok for myself. and 2. I saw the whole trailer and never laughed once, not even smiled. I just have to point out something you said in your column. You said you have no desire to see a spoiled rich girl indulge herself infront of audiences that can't even afford to keep their homes. Well, if they can't even keep their homes, why are they friggin out to see a movie in the first place? I personally, have not seen a movie since December, and before that, it had been almost a year. Trust me, I know what movie tickets and popcorn and soda cost. If they were really in that much trouble, why were they even there? Living paycheck to paycheck they might be, but I think they would have a bit more sense than spending money on a damn movie when they can't even afford to keep their house.
