I'm sure someone somewhere has already thought of this, but I was struck this weekend by the scam that is "stadium seating" when I watched the disappointing The Clearing this weekend.  I was charged an extra buck and a half to sit in a smaller theater than normal.  They get to put more seats in the same amount of area and charge more for them.

I could also rant about The Clearing but it would involve spoiling the movie and, frankly, I don't think it warrants a spoiler-type discussion a la The Usual Suspects or Vanilla Sky.
