blog.wired.com — FTA: "Few things ruin a movie for me more quickly than a theater full of talking, thrashing, hollering, seat-kicking, popcorn-pitching kids. But is that enough to justify kids-banned shows? As a parent, I want to say "No!" I'm capable of deciding what movies are appropriate for my kids, and what times are appropriate for them to see them."

When I was 17 I went alone to theatres watched the movie and left without saying a word after buying the tickets.

I am just tired of all the cell phone beeping and yapping when I go to the movies, they should enforce silence more and actually kick people out if they desturb the movie.When I went to see the Stangers there was a big fat black cow yapping and yelling through the entire movie, and when challenged by other people she would go "I paid nine dolla for ma ticket I do wha I want!" WTF is that mentally about stupid cow, other people paid the exact same as you did to see that movie, and the personnel did nothing even though they were present in the room.

I was at a service station the other day in line after fueling my car. I watched as a mother checked out while her child was rearranging the selections of tobacco chew in front of the counter. No doubt this will cause future patrons a bit of frustration when they go to find their chew of choice.What's more is the station management will probably have an employee re-organizing them, increasing the station's labor needs, squeezing the owner's margins, and all the bad things that can happen there. All this just because some kid was bored. The mother saw the child messing around and did NOTHING to stop him until she was ready to go.Really, some people's kids! (the child and the mother, both are somebody's kid).

There is a special level of hell for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

AMC theaters give you a free refill on large sodas. A strategic soda spill works wonders on annoying people, and hey free refills! :-)

No, they meant adults, like 18 or 19.

What's F'd up is I went to the screener of Bad Santa where over a dozen very young kids were all sitting there staring in awe as Billy Bob Thornton plugged women in the ass, made crude jokes and has several sexual encounters with Lauren Graham. I can't imagine what the hell those parents were thinking to take their kids to a show like that and not walk them straight back out again after the first sex scene. You'd think that the theaters would tell them the kids couldn't enter since they were all under the age of ten, but I guess the didn't give a s**t since it was a screener.At least the blatant sexual content kept the kids quite though, not a peep out of any of them... too shocked I suppose
