Why?

I went with a friend to the new cinema thats opened up locally tonight and a load of pre-teens were in. A big group of them, which can mean nonsense is set to happen. The film was The Dark Knight, which while amazing is a long film. Well, they basically spoke the whole way through. I only knew this from other people's reactions to them (I have selective hearing in public I think lol). This included a woman in my row turning around and asking them why they bothered coming when all they were doing was spoiling the film for other people. So after a few complaints from 2 or 3 people the manager comes in to remove them. They all leave and everyone enjoys the rest of the film.

Now what I don't understand is that there must be cheaper places to go to just cause trouble. When you take into account the ticket price (at least £5), the price of drinks and popcorn they can't have spent much less than £10. Now as they were kicked out, there's no way they'd get their money back. Seems like a big fail on their part.

Movie tickets here in Houston are around $13, a soda is nearly $4 and a popcorn is nearly $6. It's not worth it to go to the movies just to be social.

Am glad its not just me that doesn't see the point. Is so much money just to mess it up for yourself and get kicked out, more or less in the middle of nowhere.

It would be cheaper just to drop the minions off at the beach. (The "Beach" in my world is a local lake/pond)

Hell, that's free.

During the summer last year I remember going to a 'low viewing' movie with Mom and there were kids in front of us who came in wearing bikini tops and very tiny shorts. During the movie they fell asleep and started to snore. Turns out they paid all that money just to come in and use the air conditioning.

And no Mom and I didn't go and complain. We just went and moved away from them and giggled about it for a few moments and then watched the rest of the movie.
