Reply #108: I see maybe 2 or 3 movies a year and each time I am reminded why!

for the reasons you mention and the fact that everything is overpriced. Last movie I saw (maybe the first for the year, too) was Harry Potter. Some parents had about 10 very talkative preteen girls and one three/four year old in a group. Seats were limited and we were already there when they set up camp. The younger girl was terrified at the images. She whined and cried throughout. I felt sorry for her! The dad kept shushing the other girls for most of the movie and disgruntled patrons kept huffing off which added to the interruptions.

No thanks.
