Nathaniel is the one being a huge jerk about it.

I've been totally spoiled by the 16-plex because until recently I've never set foot in the Dollar Theater. The Boy had to drag me along because we've been broke as of late and he wanted to see a movie.

There's nothing more annoying than a mother who brings her tiny infant child (carrier and all), decides to sit in front of you, and baby proceeds to cry during the WHOLE MOVIE. Sure, it's a dollar to see the movie, but give me a break. They need to bring back that crying baby cartoon they used to show before the start of the movie.

Then you have the theater jumpers who show up 30 minutes before your movie's set to end because their movie just ended.

They have a butter dispenser so that people can pour their own butter, but it's pretty nasty.

The Dollar Theater has a "different" kind of atmosphere with "different" kinds of customers and I don't know if I'm okay with that. I guess I'm just a snob.

Some of the movie theatres up here now have special showings in the daytime (mornings and early afternoons) for moms with babies. They've been very popular - moms get to see the newest flicks and don't have to feel bad if the baby cries.

I think one or two over here have that too. If I'm not mistaken, it's the first showing of the day. Moms/parents without sitters need to watch movies too -- so I'm all for it.

As long as it's not when I'm at the theater.

That's different. We need those kinds of theaters here.

Our dollar theater is filthy gross and your feet always stick to the floor.

As for movie theater salt, our expensive theater (20 theaters, nice concessions but pricey) have all these different flavored toppings for popcorn now.. white cheddar, jalapeno, ranch.. on and on, in powder form, freely available to everybody. I love the white cheddar!

Here, too. Bring on the white cheddar!

Is there anything nastier than eating cheese popcorn and seeing orange yucky stuff on your fingers?

#2 we used to have a dollar theater near my parents home, now its a church or salvation army or something. i miss it soooo much. don't think there are any more dollar movies around this way, but the theater near my house (not a major chain) has $5 tuesdays or something.

You all are silly. Here's my seemingly random PSA:

Movie theater food sucks. Overpriced candy bars, drinks of sugar, and tubs of lard. I've seen the movie theater salt, butter, Old Bay and other seasonings that patrons can put on their own stuff. Yucky.

If you insist on munching during a movie (which I don't think is a necessity because if you're hungry...eat real food before or afterwards...but most people aren't hungry it's just a habit to munch while watching TV, but oh well) bring your own snacks. I usually make a point of bringing a healthy snack with me like an apple or some dark chocolate. Other people bring their own candy because it's cheaper. When we were little, folks used to bring entire meals from home to the dollar theater. Containers of chicken and stuff. LOL.

The thought of someone eating a bucket of chicken in a movie theater cracks me up, not sure why, just such an absurd image I guess.
