Alex Espinal writes: Big fan, I watch everyday! I read this article about a new app that sells movie tickets in which the prices would vary depending on availability. This would ultimately push for theaters to fill more seats. As a New Yorker who pays premium price for what the rest of the nation calls regular movie ticket prices, I would love for this to happen. Thoughts? Thanks and bring on the filthy.
