    Gambling, organized crime, underworld? Always intrigues me.
    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

          Pay a flat fee and you can see a movie every day if you want. Any movie (not imax) any time.

            That is so tempting, but have to look at the theaters involved. Figure a movie a month, and it's paid for.

              One of the most interesting pieces of sociology I read in my academic days was about the use of violence among criminals. In brief, because criminals don't have courts to enforce contracts they have to use brutality. If you reverse the reasoning, law is essentially ritualized violence to minimize moral hazard.

                Pretty much. They use morality codes to justify it. Criminals use basic language. You do this, you're dead. It's a matter of how you phrase the "law."

                  In violence, weapons determine who wins a case. In law, wealth does.

                    9.95/month (although prices are as low as 6.95) and see any 2D non-IMAX movie each week. Those of us who have subscribed for a while still have unlimited movies but I suspect that will change.

                    Scooby? Handy?
                    Need to? No. It'll help but I had only seen two of the 18 MCU movies and I was fine. Just watch the Screen Junkies Cram It video on YouTube.

                      Most of the theaters in the area are involved. Willow Creek, Plymouth Grand, Icon at West End, Cinema Cafe, the AMCs...I havent found one that doesnt take it. If you go to the Web Site you can type in the zip code and it will tell you all the ones that are involved.

                          Theaters don't really have a choice. It's a MasterCard as far as they're concerned. If theaters didn't have to take it AMC never would have accepted it. MoviePass can exclude a theater by not putting it on its app so you can't buy tickets but theaters can't refuse if they take MC.

                          Also, some people report that they still have to submit a picture of their ticket stub as a fraud prevention measure. MP hasn't asked me to do that since last fall.

                          Also also, the GPS tracker in your phone is accessible by the app. That's how it knows you're within 100 feet of a theater so you can check-in. It also means when that movie is over your GPS better show you're still at the theater or you'll likely be banned for suspected fraud (scalping your ticket).

                              I have never been asked to scan my ticket...and if people are scalping movie tickets they are sad individuals.

                                I was asked at first. Well, not so much asked as much as the camera on my phone activated when I checked in at the theater. Last fallish that stopped. It appears they are just doing it to people they don't trust or users in high traffic areas.

                                As for selling, hey, anything for a buck. If you have an unlimited account, that's potentially $500 profit each month.
