Andy_Copland 0 #3 February 19, 2007 OMG McDuck: I stopped going the the movies years ago but recently went with some friends and caught a late showing. Kids are in bed by that time 1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit. Until morale improves, the beatings will continue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McDuck 0 #4 February 19, 2007 This isn't a race issue. I'm noticing people from all walks of life who feel it is their right to talk through the movie, often about subjects that have nothing to do with the film they have paid money to disrupt. I don't get it. Why not wait for the DVD to come out so you are disrupting nobody but you and your family and/or friends?Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.

Ok, I'm at work and that line just made me make a huge scene. So about 30 minutes ago I was drinking while I was reading over this, and that stupid line made me laugh and blow tea out my nose and aaaaaaaaall over my desk. My stupid crappy keyboard stopped working, so I had to walk over to Office Depot to buy another one, and then I had to clean off my moniter and all the paperwork on my desk. It was totally worth it though...that was hilarous. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cut in line, act like a jerk in traffic, talk through a movie, it's all about them. Our children have performed in dozens of recitals in their years in school, Christmas pageants, choirs, jazz bands, etc. I cringe at the behavior of some of the parents, yelling to their kids on stage, or giving out a good redneck "woohoo" when polite applause would have been more appropriate. This last item was even addressed by the school principal in his intro one time. It didn't work. Sad. And while you're at it, folks, could you dress up a little more than your sweat pants or pajama bottoms? Surely you have at least one pair of pants or a dress? We're trying to teach our kids through example here. My wife gets all the "seat kickers" at the movies. Once, when she had had enough, she turned around to a young woman, late teens, early twenties, and asked her to stop kicking her seat. The sweet little gal told my wife that she was there first, had bought a ticket, and my wife could F-off. Her date and I had to stand there ready to duke it out while the girls sorted it out.

LouDiamond 1 #20 February 19, 2007 QuoteAm I alone in wanting people to shut the eff up and go home if they want to talk through a movie? Not at all. I had a similar experience recently where the usher was informed and the disruptive people removed. However, that did not stop the people next to me from engaging in a conversation,even if it was hushed, with each other over an unrelated topic for most of the movie. I am convinced politeness and manners are not taught at home as it once was or in school for that matter. I find early matinees during the week to be the best time to go and really enjoy a movie without the Ritalin/Springer crowd ruining it."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigra 0 #21 February 19, 2007 You know what? We saw Eragon last night at the cheap show. It was an early movie in a small theatre loaded with kids and they all behaved just fine. When we were in the popcorn line, we thought we had made a mistake but I was pleasantly surprised. I liked the movie too. Funny how the kids can behave at the movies when adults can't seem to!
