The Movie is About to Start

I just wait until they are on DVD or on TV unless it is one that my grandson just has to see and can't wait. The last time I did go to a movie was when my daughter and I took my grandson. So far my grandson is very well behaved in the theater, he is so drawn into watching what he came to see. LOL I do agree with you, there are times when babies cry and kids act up and even when adults act like kids. So that is why I watch at home unless it is something specail my grandson wants to see when he is here visiting or when I am visiting them.

As a parent, we don't go to the movies much anymore because of the price. Thankfully, when we do go my girls have been brought up to be quiet and be respectful. It's funny they look at the kids being goofy and just shake their heads. But I know what you are saying, people are just rude now a days. I never did understand taking a baby to the movies. I know some movie theaters have baby days so that the mom's can come and watch a movie. It is clearly explained so everyone knows that this particular showing will have babies in attendence.

yes, i don't go to many movies at the mall but the new movie house is very updated. the seats are more comforatble but the price even for seniors is six fifty..and popcor is five bucks or more...so i only see the movies in the after noon and sometimes then night shows (same price) but i miss the part where i can pause the scene and go to the comfort room...and since the weather has gotten very cold..i just go to the YMCA for exercise, swimming, sauna, and whirlpool and maybe the library to read papers and get free DVD or to get online as hey have six computer that are free..its all good and the cheaper the better..as time is money

I don't frequent the theaters and never have. But I have gone enough times to realize that especially in theaters showing PG13 and lower ratings movies, that there seems to be an undue vie for attention from the younger viewers. For whatever reason they think the theater is the place to show off just how immature, retarded and disrespectful they can be. I'm not bashing being a teenager at all. I was one hell of a handful when I was a teen too. But back then it seemed as if we didn't want to be caught or otherwise bothered by the adults. So we picked venues/areas where there were minimal numbers of adults so we could act up as much as we pleased. The LAST thing we wanted was some "ahole" telling us what we can and can't do. That was the point of being a teen it seemed. Rebelling for our right to be free. Getting busted interfered with that. Wrong kind of attention. But as with all things, time changes them. It is now a big deal to get your name in the paper being busted for something. I think this is what fuels todays teenagers. As for babies crying, that used to be such a HUGE embarrassment to parents that they immediately did what they could to stop the crying. I remember some would walk out of the movie so as not to ruin it for the others. But once again, time has changed things. Apparently it is no longer cool to be a parent. Just pop them out and go about life as if it never happened. If somebody else doesn't like it - too bad. See you in court. So for me, the ultimate solution is to wait for the DVD. Cheaper anyways.

AH, yes, the pg-13 conspiracy! And I think it is too lol! Hollywood knows that pg or pg-13 means more butts in the seats, therefore more money. That is why I respect directors who refuse to throw away scenes to get the rating lowered from an R. Especially horror movies! I don't need "jump" tactics....I want blood in them lol! I like the big screen experience, but have a large DVD collection. I buy at least one a week. I love the special features and commentaries! :)
