I read some of the comments above about watching movies at home, which is good, and at 1st I thought like this too. Well, I went out and bought a 47' widescreen HDTV, and surround sound, and the crazy thing about is, it still doesn't replace the movie theater. I love going to the movies but only when the above isn't present. I only use my home theater system to play my XBox 360, I very rarely watch or rent movies on it unless I have company, then I'll rent movies.

I can think of one instance where I was beyond pissed, my dad and I went to see some movie (can't even think of it now, it was years ago) and this lady behind us actually answered her cell phone, in the middle of the movie, and started having a conversation. Well I tried to be "nice" by turning around and giving her the "evil eye". She didn't get the hint. Finally I told her to shut up and get off the damn phone. I'm sorry if I had to pay almost 10 bucks to see a movie, I'm going to watch the movie and not be interrupted by rude people.

I hate seeing movies with crying kids. I am always like "take your damn kid outside". My brother and I went to see the midnight showing of revenge of the sith and some stupid parents actually brought their 3 year old and infant. I couldn't believe it. Because it was late and the theater was super crowded there were cops there. Now, these kids were throwing tantrums in the theater prior to the movie started. A bunch of us complained but the cop couldn't do anything until the movie started. Needless to say as soon as the movie started, the kids were still crying, the cop came in and escorted them out of the theater. I was beyond appalled that these parents were putting their own personal and selfish needs above those of their children. I don't want to sound mean, but that experience just soldified in my mind that some people shouldn't be having kids.

Ditto. Hey, what did the lady behind you do/say when you told her to shut up and get off the phone?

I went last night to the movies to see the latest Pirates. I missed the first showing, so we went last night when it showed at the movie theater 50 feet from my apartment. I figured since it was a later showing that we'd probably have a low crowd. But I was wrong. We had a big crowd and in that crowd, we had some parents who allowed their children to run around the theater WITH FRICKIN' BELLS ON THEIR SHOES. wtf??? Sometimes I wonder how soldiers can live with law and order at work, and come home and raise completely bone-headed families...

Prettyboy...whatcha playing on ur 360 right now? Getting Madden?


BTW..the HD DVD attachment dropped in price...I grabbed it a few weeks ago and it's hot like that...now all I need are movie theater style couches...and I may never leave my room again


And the perfect idea for a man's movie viewing room is as follows

- 7.1 surround sound system
- 50' or better HDTV
- HD or Blu Ray player
- Theater sytle seating with adjustable massage cushioning
-mini fridge stocked full

....bathroom down the hall...hehehe....with otional mini screen



aaaahhhhh.....when I get filthy rich one day

i will admit, i took my infant daughter to the movies when she was first born. (i was tired of sitting in the house!!) she was about 3 or 4 months old, and didnt make a single noise. i even nursed her (it wasnt crowded and i was in the back). when we were leaving, i couldnt believe how many people stopped and were in awe that she was in there for 2 hours and didnt hear her.

that being said, my child isnt everyones child. LEAVE THEM AT HOME. i'm sympathetic, but not that much.

Same here, but then my daughter is a gift from God and is one of the quietest babies in the world. :) Especially when she was still really little...all I had to do was stick her on the boob and she would quietly lay there and watch the movie!

Not being able to unstick my feet from the floor once the movie's ended.

I don't remember if she said anything, she did glare at me but I was like "whatever, you're the rude bitch not me" :rolleyes:

Parents who can't find a sitter and bring their child to movie that is not even for kids to begin with and let them act like wild animals.

In Europe, many theaters have a sound proof "baby-room".
And several theaters in my area have morning shows just for parents with young kids.
