Re: Movie Etiquette Rant
You beat me to doing a post like this.
I went and saw Wanted (which I thought was surprisingly good) at AMC Quail Springs at 10pm on friday night.
It amazes me sometimes how people can completely lack common courtesy. Numerous annoyances and rudeness were all over the theater.
1) A couple brought there infant child to the movie. Really? And it made noises and cried throughout half of the movie until they finally left.
2) People were texting all in front of us. Which IS a distraction.
3) People getting up to go talk on the phone in the walkways that lead into the theater. WE CAN STILL HEAR YOU.
4) These women behind me had to talk about every scene or action moment right after they happened. I heard countless "oh my god. did you see that? what did he just say?" ect ect.
5) What is it about when everything goes quiet or dark that it seems like everyone starts crumbling up wrappers and foil paper.
6) Finally, two guys behind us two seats over put thier feet up on the seats in front of them where no one was sitting. What they didnt realize what that the shaking led to all the seats shaking.
We all paid the same price to watch a movie. You didnt pay extra to be rude and be dumbasses. This isn't your living room. Be respectfull of others around you. I think they should have an usher in each auditorium to make sure things run smoothly or if someone has a complaint.
sorry for the rant.
