Movie Theater Suck

[WishfulSpirit]

If I'd been in a bad mood when Stinky McStinkerson sat next to me, I think I'd have said loudly to Hubby "let's move somewhere else, that guy stinks." If I'd been in a better mood, I'd probably have just moved. If that wasn't possible, I'd have gotten a description and complained to the manager. The "bathing optional" crowd get away with it because nobody says anything. And I say that as the wife of a person whose combination of meds make his sweat pretty darn rank. He still showers, they can too.

The boy thing wanted to see Jurassic world and I was up for a date night.

I spent 10 minutes hiding in his shoulder - I have a phobia of birds. Still haven't fully forgiven him.

Thanks for the warning. I think I will watch that on DVD and fast forward the first bit because birds are scary and freak me out. Except for fairy penguins, they are cool.

And, nope, won't ever be watching Birds. Have only seen snippets and I hide until they are over.

When I went to see Black Hawk Down, someone in the theater had horrific gas. As in "all of my nose hairs yanked themselves from their moorings and ran screaming for the door" atrocious.

Back when we lived in Phoenix, we spent one summer day at the movies. Then this huge, sweaty, smelly guy came in (lack of hygiene + Phoenix heat = disgusting hot mess), and despite the theater being half-empty, he just had to sit next to me. And lean back and put his arms up. Yeah, I moved to my husband's other side PDQ.

As for the children in the movie theater, we didn't take our kid to the movies until he was seven, because he wasn't physically or emotionally mature enough until then. Now I know that kids mature at different rates, and another kid might be ready for the movie theater at four years old. But it's the parents' job to take care of their children, and dragging very young children to a frightening movie is not taking very good care of them.

The last movie I went to see at the theater was Kill Bill 1. Even the censored version here in Australia was pretty horrific.

Sitting next to me in the audience was a little girl I think must have been 5 or 6. I don't know how her mother got her into the theater, but she was there. She didn't really watch the picture - she just sat there and kicked her legs and sang softly to herself the whole movie.

It disturbed me greatly. I decided that I would wait until any future movie came out on DVD and watch it at home.

Frank Darabont.

I now have one towards spiders due to the movie THE MIST - they used to be "meh" and now they all get the stink eye. Thank you Frank Darlemont!

Did that come from watching The Birds?

My daughter got hers from that movie. On another note, I wonder if Sheldon (Big Bang Theory) got his from that movie. We just watched that episode last night. Though on another note, it's not Sci Fi or fantasy so probably not.

The only time we took our kids to a movie it was to a drive-in showing one of the Herbie movies (I think it was The Love Bug one). My oldest was around 2 and a half and my youngest was a newborn. Julie (the baby) slept thru it. I do remember being very uncomfortable ( it was only weeks after she was born. But if it hadn't of been a drive-thru we wouldn't have gone.

The Belcher. This guy sat behind me and every ten minutes or so let out the most disgusting rumbling belch. The kind that sounds like it bubbled up from someone deep, deep, deep in his gut.

When I went to see Black Hawk Down, someone in the theater had horrific gas. As in "all of my nose hairs yanked themselves from their moorings and ran screaming for the door" atrocious. As in "was there chemical warfare in Mogadishu?" toxic Smellovision.

I don't go to the movies much anymore.
