That's pretty awesome - I wish that more theaters around here did that... Then again, I've heard parents complain (no joke) that they don't like those types of sessions because "once one kid starts crying, they all do." Boo hoo.
It is still honestly beyond me why they are even ALLOWED in with little kids to late-night shows... Especially the R-rated ones. I don't care if the parent is over 18... I think that theaters should
JUST SAY NO TO BABIES. That's right, you heard it here first, folks. [/QUOTE]

Starts with a child that isn't given ground rules, progresses into an ignorant asshole that has no idea how much everyone else there would actually shoot and kill them in a perfect world.

I've experience the same thing!! Not just with parents bringing in kids... But TEENAGERS being really poorly-behaved and talking/texting during movies... I don't understand where the younger generations (oy, now I feel OLD) suddenly thought it was OK to misbehave and be RUDE in the theater. It sucks because now when there's a horror movie that I really really want to see, I can't see it in the theater - Because I know some jackass is going to talk through it and ruin the ambiance. :(
You're right though - It starts with bad parenting... I was always taught to be respectful in public... And when it came to movies... You went there to enjoy the FILM, and NOT to talk with your friends, family, etc. I don't understand where the change came from. And it sucks that it's ruining my movie-going experience.
