Years back when I went to the cinema to see the second Matrix film (a let –down from the first, but still….) someone had a toddler who kept kid-talking and making noise. At the end of the movie, at the screen shot “To be continued…” someone shouted out, “And don’t bring kids!” People, you do not take babies and little kids to adult movies. You do not. If you can’t find or afford a babysitter, the movie will be out on video in a few months. Just wait.
Apparently, you could even be in mortal danger if you disrupt someone’s movie experience.
In December 2008, a man was shot in a Philadelphia cinema after another customer objected to him talking during a screening of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. In the aftermath of the incident, the offender calmly sat down and finished watching the film as he waited for police to arrive.Earlier this year a man was shot dead by another audience member who objected to the volume at which he was eating his popcorn during a screening of Black Swan.
The Alamo Drafthouse Theater in Austin is out ahead of this issue:
