Today's experience took the cake. I went to see The Town. Had to walk up half the escalators which weren't working. Sat through brain melting "First Look" and five previews. Then 15 minutes of... The Social Network. Finally the lights went off, and we're in total darkness. Then suddenly full lights came up with no explanation. A few fumbling guys halfheartedly led us to a theater five flights up. Then when we finally settle in, the intro musak about "Welcome to X theater, your movie will start shortly" is playing OVER the film's soundtrack, so we lost the first 10 minutes of dialogue. I got a free pass after accosting the manager afterward...unbelievable.

I remember seeing "Coming Home" in a movie theater when it first came out and a woman came in with 2 little kids. What is wrong with people, indeed.

Oh, and as I was getting my free pass, a woman was paying for 4 kids under 12 to see Let Me In. No words.

A friend and I went to see Easy A last night. About an hour into the movie about a half-dozen people came in and spent a few minutes finding their seats and making a fair amount of noise. It was a bit of WTF? moment given how much of the movie they'd already missed. It was only later that I remembered we lost an hour yesterday (Daylight savings, yay!) and perhaps that explains it! ;D

Grrrrrrr. I think there should be a law that a ticket seller can refuse to sell a ticket for a Rated R film to someone holding a baby (or any child, really). Why even let them in in the first place?

That was my thought. Daylight savings dosen't start until November 7th. Those people were probably jsut sneaking into the movie and being rude. |

Sorry to be a pedant, but Daylight Saving Time ends on November 7 in the U.S. Not all countries start/end the same day, though - the U.S. changed its dates a few years ago.

This is why I will forever and always cherish the Alamo Drafthouse: No children under 6 (unless it's a baby day showing) ; no children under 18 without an accompanying adult, and no children under 18 in R-rated movies. |
