Are there more A**holes in movie theaters lately?
I cannot remember the last time I've been to a movie where I haven't been
disturbed by crying babies, irritating teens, or adults that are talking to the
screen or friends during a movie. And it seems to be getting worse!
Examples:
I took a friend of mine to see a matinee of The Ring when it was in theaters.
I had already seen it & knew my friend would dig it because he's a huge
horror fan. There was only six people in the theater, us included. Two teen
girls to our left & a couple in front. What drove me nuts is one of the teens
was telling her friend what was going to happen because she had seen it
already as well. And I'm not talking about whispering either! I had enough
when she spilled the beans about what was in the closet.
A more recent example is when I saw a 10pm showing of Collateral. (Great
movie by the way.) There was an entire family to the right of me, (1 infant,
2 small kids between 5 & 8 years old, the married couple & a friend who for
some reason was sitting 2 rows back.) Who the F**k would take little kids
to a 10pm show of Collateral!! What was worse was the parents ignoring
the 20 ft radius of people that repeatedly told them take their kids out. And
the topper was whenever Jamie Fox did something funny or cool, the father
would talk to his friend about it.
First, you should not be able to bring a little kid to anything except G-rated
flicks & definately not any nightime PG & up movie, even if their parent is
present.
Second, they shouldn't be allowed a warning to be quiet. If someone
complains to theater personnel, they should be tossed from the theater &
told to make it a F**king blockbuster night!
I've got 5 & 9 year old nieces that have more common courtesy in a movie
theater than those A-holes!
Do you have any horror stories like these?
