NBA Discussion / Re: OT - WTF! Why are the movies I want to see all in 3 effing D?
« on: March 04, 2010, 10:19:33 AM »One of the reasons I would move out of Sacramento would be to see movies once again in the theatre - as they were intended to be shown - instead of waiting months or even years to see them at home on disc. We have not gone out to see a movie in Sacramento in years.
Why?
The people who go to the theatre. Not the size of the crowds - the quality of the patrons. It seems the average SacTown moviegoer has a pathalogical need to yell, not talk, to their neighbors during the movie, make "important" cell phone calls requiring the caller to shout over the noise the movie is making, or to allow the movie to babysit their brats, who proceed to chase each other up and down the aisle or roll down them.
Having experienced movies in S.F. and Paris, it appears this problem is more localized and does not often occur to the degree it does here in other cities.
It's like that in some parts of this town. I do not go to the theater unless it is something I absolutely NEED to see as soon as it is released. I even drive clear across town to go see a movie to avoid 'ignant mofo's' at the near by theaters. I can't remember what movie it was, but I took my kids to go see some film they wanted to watch and the family in the row behind us had I don't know how many kids...guess enough to make a decent living off of welfare and food stamps but not enough to buy birth control...anyway, one of the kids is standing up holding onto my sons seat, swaying around, and kicking his shoes into the back of the seat - this kid was probably 4 or 5 years old. Anywho, I have to turn around to tell this kids parents to get him to stop kicking my sons chair - they look at ME in disbelief, and then try to puff up like I was offending them, I tell them they heard me loud and clear - get this damn kid off of my sons seat, now. "Oh, uhh, sorry...mijo sit down. People are tryig to watch the movie man!"..... 'Ignant mofo's' I can't stand people taking calls durig the movie, I don't like people having some freaking conversation during the movie that could wait til AFTER the film is over - but no - for some reason they felt like sitting in a movie theater is the best setting to have that particular conversation. Last thing I cannot stand is the parents that will not take the crying baby out into the hallway to calm the child down...I hate that. Sorry you have a child and no baby sitter, but you are messing with my movie time here. Wait for DVD if you can't get a sitter - just saying. OK......I think I have vented on all that enough...
