It was almost ruined by the appalling amount of children in the theater.

And I don't mean like 8 year olds. I mean infants and toddlers. Me and Doom were amazed, there were at least a dozen infants and toddlers that showed up. Why the hell would so many people bring babies to a 10:15pm showing of a monster movie? The whimpering and whining, several crying fits, and the parents on their phone, or giving their phone to the kids to pacify them almost ruined the movie.

The worst part was the Asian guy sitting next to us that decided to go barefoot. Dude took his shoes off in the theater. I darn near puked.
It wouldn't help for Godzilla but the chain I work for (Regal) just started a no children under 6 in R rated movies policy. It's gonna be interesting trying to enforce that but we haven't had any problems yet.

I've been to your theater. Me and F @FDS saw The Green Hornet when we were in Seattle.



I don't think kids under 5 or 6 should be allowed at the theater at all unless its specifically a young children's movie. And nobody under 10 after 9pm in any movie. The theater is way too expensive to have any tolerance for everyone's shenanigans with kids.

I go to a late showing to avoid small kids, $23.50 to get in, $5.10 for a soda, I snuck Arby's in so I didn't get food, but assuming another $10 at least for food stuff. Damn near $40 to have your shitty kid hamper my experience, fuck you, come back at noon tomorrow, or find a sitter.

This is why I made these posts a couple days ago lol vvvv


Think I might wait till Tuesday or Wednesday to see Gojira, the theaters are gonna be packed for it all weekend.

I HATE packed theaters, fuck people, fuckin mouth breathers.
Just had some kind of ptsd movie theater flash back from when I took my daughter to see The Lego Movie a few months ago on the first weekend it was out.

Wanted to walk around the theater and punch all the terrible parents who were letting their children run around like it was a fucking playground.

So many groups rolling like 5 kids deep and none of them seemed to want to control their fucking kids.

Swore off opening weekend movies that might involve children.

Yup.

I had a certain amount of tolerance in mind, knowing I was going to an opening weekend movie. I figured, there might be a lot of people, there are going to a couple cell phones here and there, there might be some talking, my seat might get kicked once or twice, someone might step on my foot, reasonable expectations I would say.

What I wasn't prepared for was sitting in our seats, and having the couple in front of us sit down with a toddler in the dad's lap, and the mom set a baby carrier with an infant in it in the chair next to her. Then, literally, 10 other similar kids show up.

Oh well. I still enjoyed the movie.
