I wasn't using "only" to say it's cheap from some absolute perspective, just that it's way cheaper than was claimed. For example, if someone says an Airbus A320 costs about $500,000,000, it's not economically ignorant to respond that no, it "only" costs about $100,000,000.
Yeah, but you're wrong to say that it's cheaper than what I indicated. I took my kids to see Avatar in IMAX last weekend and the total bill was north of $100 including a few snacks.
I only saw a movie solo once, as I never got the appeal of the movie theater and only ever got dragged there by dates and friends.
My kids never cared for it, so the bullet was largely dodged.
