[QUOTE="tallfreak, post: 14773952, member: 70717"] My last few experiences in the theater were terrible. Went to see Dark Knight Rises and rain came through the roof and onto the projector about an hour into the movie. I know its an unforeseen problem, but stick with me. They gave us the option of 2 free movie passes each or 1 movie pass and join another movie that was about 30 minutes behind us. Most people chose to join the other movie so it was very crowded. People talking loudly, texting, and walking around. I was pissed but the extra free movie pass helped. Much later I went to see Skyfall on a friday night on one of the last weeks it was showing (trying to avoid the usual asshats.) As soon as I walked in I knew I was going to be pissed off. It was a few groups of 2 or 3 people....and one group of about 10 teenagers. The teens were talking all through the commercials and kept talking through the trailers. When the movie started several people asked them to be quiet. That only made it worse. Someone went to get security about 15 minutes into the movie. He came and took 2 teens out that were talking when he came in. Then the group spread out. They would take turns running down and yelling at the guard and running back to random seats before he could see who was doing it. After arguing with the teens in the theater with the movie rolling, he finally got police to come and remove all the teens. By this time the movie was almost over. The management wouldn't do anything about it. No refunds or movie tickets. Just an apology. If you haven't figured it out yet, I don't like the theaters anymore. I have only seen one movie after that in a theater. Catching Fire on the last showing on a random day at a different theater. It went well, but that is very rare that we can do that. I like the theater experience when it goes well, but I likely won't give it another chance anytime soon. I don't know how the theaters are in other areas, but if they are even half as bad as my last few experiences they will not last much longer. I'm getting so pissed just typing this that I need a drink now. [/QUOTE]
