[quote name='Will']See, its stuff like that that one of these days Ill regret doing but at this point,I think its safe to say I cant miss these people no matter how early or late I go and I just cant enjoy movies anymore at the theatre.
The last straw was the opening day to Pirates 3.
9:45am first showing. There were alot of kids, alot of adults. Everythign was smooth till the previews started and some lady walked in with 2 infants, and 2 toddlers. She went all the way to the back row by us and sat in the corner.
The kids werent quiet, the babies werent quiet and that theatre was WAY too loud for those little ones. To top it off half way through she was pulling off diaper change duty.
No more theatres like I use to. Unless its a must see in theatre movie, its bootleg time or wait till dvd[/QUOTE]
When I went to see Pirates on opening night I was really worried that a bunch of annoying teenagers would talk/ruin the movie for me. They didn't, but some stupid lady brought her child as well and during the last hour or so the child started crying. Instead of being a nice person and taking her child outside, she just let him cry. The kid stopped after about 5 minutes then started and stopped about 2 other times. No one said anything, but I could see people (I was in the back row) look over towards her. The lady to my left whispered to her friend "God, shut that
ing kid up!" but that's the only thing I heard. On top of that, the girl to my right kept checking her cell phone for the time. It's almost a 3 hour movie so she should've been prepared for the length!
I also went to see Spider-Man 3 the week after it came out and there were about 15-20 people in the theatre. Everything was fine, except some random guy was snoring throughout the second 1/2 of the movie. WTF! Who the hell goes to see a summer blockbuster and then falls asleep during the movie?
Luckily I had a positive experience this past week when my friends and I went to a pre-screening of Knocked Up. There were no crying babies/people on cell phones/people talking in general. The crowd was excellent and most people laughed at all the right parts. That's what I like to see or rather
experience when I go to a theatre.
Mostly I only pay for matinees and I try to avoid opening weekend of big movies. This usually assures a good experience.
