I must admit I have commented during movies, but that is only in instances when the movie is horrible. These days that is a pretty common thing. I haven’t seen a decent movie in theatres since pulp fiction.

I have to laugh. The one and only time I was pleased to be in a theater full of hecklers and became one. The most awful movie ever.

2) Don’t pull a Mystery Science Theater 3000! – You’re not funny. You never were. All those people who said you were funny? Lies. Now granted, sometimes you go into a film and it is terrible. Now usually people would just get up and go home, but sometimes the crappiness of the film is so paralyzing you don’t know what to do. I remember going to see “Ultraviolet” and maybe halfway through the film, the entire audience knew we were watching a horrible film. This sort of unspoken unanimous agreement about the film led some folks to start heckling, making the last twenty minutes less painful.

I had to deal with newborns at Dawn of the Dead. Horrible.

I tend to go to movies (especially G/PG/PG-13) as close to or after curfew hours are enforced as much as possible. That is, around the 9PM/10PM hours at the earliest. This way, I can almost be assured there are no little kids of any sort to ruin the experience. Granted, I’ve also made some point of going to see a movie for a matinee showing on a weekday (Tue-Thurs) during the school year. Mostly at that time, all the kids and most parents are at work and/or school.

Any other time, and it’s hit or miss…

I understand for some people it may be difficult to find someone to look after their children for a few hours, so they go to the movies anyway and hope their children are on their best behavior. It’s hit or miss. What is almost always a miss is the infants/toddlers.
This is why I decided to start being “one of those people” and complain to the managers. They may not do anything about it, and I may miss 5 minutes of the movie, but I’ll also get a refund and/or comp tickets out of it. It’s still annoying, but it makes me feel a tad better if I at least got something for my trouble.

I think my favorite experience, I have personally had watching a Rated R film with children in attendance was when I saw Wild Things with Neve Campbell and Denise Richards. You know that film, the really bad pseudo lesbian romp – where none of the lead women actually get naked. I was there with a friend who begged me to take him since he didn’t have a car. Well there is a family of Mother, Father, Son and Daughter sitting in front of us.They make it through almost the entire film surprisingly none of the gratuitous lesbian over tones and soft-core make-out scenes seemed to bother their family sensibilities. Neither did the killings and violence in the film, but when they saw Kevin Bacon’s wang they hit the road as if the theater was on fire. I was in complete disbelief that they has made even that far through the film.
