Fan in San Diego Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 People are crazy. It's just not worth going to a theatre anymore and being affected by this crap. My HD tv and surround sound is just fine for watching a movie and its a lot cheaper as well. Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan in San Diego Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 So you don't go to movies because you're afraid people are going to show up with assault weapons? Paranoid much? I don't go to movies anymore because they suck. Not because I'm afraid of people with assault weapons so much but because people are stupid and annoying and interfere with my movie experience. That article just had some good examples. A guy shows up with a back pack and they harass and search the guy. Who needs the aggravation, the expensive snacks, chatty people talking during the movie, the list goes on. And did someone piss in your croissant this morning?

/dev/null Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I don't go to movies because people bring their screaming babies, talk on their cell phones, and talk to each other during the movie. I don't go to the movies because I don't want to open a home equity loan if I or my date want some popcorn, a pop, or some Milk Duds I don't go the movies because I don't like sitting in a uncomfortable chair for over an hour. I'd rather stretch out on my couch I don't go to the movies because I don't want to plan my time to include having to stand in line. I'd rather stop at the big red kiosk and pick up what I want on my home from work and watch it when I feel like it. Or push a couple of buttons and wait a few seconds for it to buffer I don't go to movies because if I have to pee I might miss something. I'd rather just hit pause. I don't go to movies because I'm afraid I'll run into Joe_the_Sixpack. And after his meltdown on PPP, I don't want to run into JtSP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys have missed the intention of the thread. Just that movie theatres are becoming more and more intolerable because of stupid people.

PushthePile Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Its hard to understand why so many people missed the point of this topic.

Yes maybe I didn't set the logic up as well as I could have, that article just added a few more reasons to the long list I had already. Although dev/null and Poojer seemed to get it!

biglukes Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) I rarely go to the movies anymore because I have a million interesting things to say throughout the course of the movie and apparently other theater goes frown upon a running commentary.

Rob's House Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Not because I'm afraid of people with assault weapons so much but because people are stupid and annoying and interfere with my movie experience.

Who needs the aggravation, the expensive snacks, chatty people talking during the movie, the list goes on. And did someone piss in your croissant this morning? I'm kind of surprised a guy who rides a bike would be concerned about something like this. You know we run a much higher risk of eating it on the pavement than having a maniac attack us with a gun. Edit: just reread your post and I see you're not worried about that; I still thought this was worth mentioning just to give the faint of heart some perspective. i don't take baths anymore because of the whole bath salt craze...i'm afraid my calgon and mr. bubbles will creep up one of my orifices and turn me into a face eating zombie.... I stopped when I found out soap was made from oil. If I can boycott big soap, big oil, and big water all at the same time I feel like I'm killing three birds with one stone.

paintmyhouse Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 My wife and I like to go to the movies, but we like to go after the movie has been out a long time, a lot less people in the theater, and also never when the theater is crazy busy. Laterst might be 6 ot 7 PM on a Friday. Even then, when the movie lets out, the lines look huge, and sometimes hostile. I know my wife went with her girl group on a busy night to that Magic Mike, the day before 4th of July, and at like 8:15. When the movie let out, there were cops there and fights were going on. Just do not feel like dealing with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
