Rusty's Trip To The Movies or That Inconsiderate Bitch...

[RustyRazor]

SO...I went to the movies today with my wife to see "Up" and got to the second showing of the day.

NOW I knew that it was going to be packed and even though I stay away from movie theaters SPECIFICALLY because of this reason because it ruins the experience, I said screw it, let's go take in the flick and throw caution to the wind.

So we get to theater several minutes before start time and we want to get some snacks before the movie starts.

11:52 (Movie start time 11:58)

Standing in line in front of us, just for the sake of identification, were three women we'll call:

CRUELLA, URSULA, AND BITCHFACE

CRUELLA, who was the size of the state of Rhode Island had ordered one of each item from the snack case and one of the attendants helped her wheel her jumbo popcorn with a second attendant to bring the life sized butter container.

11:54 (If you suggest coming earlier, I suggest that doing that doesn't help with inconsiderate fucks like these)

I was slowly losing my temper as she took careful time to stand in line, tucking away her receipts, NOT MOVING HER GIMUNGOUS ASS to the side to let her evil sisters order.

Bitchface steps up and with her four children flipping around like they're in Cirque De Fucking Soleil, she decides what she wants.

And Cruella, salivating over her choice of nachos mentions several times loudly "DON'T FORGET THE CHEESE ON THE SIDE".

Bitchface's children, obviously raised in the wild somewhere can't give Ursula a straight answer on what they want.

11:56 (Are you fucking kidding me?! And these bitches kept looking back at us with dirty looks as if they weren't going to speed up their food purchasing to let my wife purchase ONE bag of fucking Gummi candies. ONE BAG.)

Now Urusula, who has a child of her own in one of those carrying cribs COULD have placed her order with either Cruella OR Bitchface but oh no...let's not speed things up.

(Half of the fun is standing around in the lobby smelling imposter designer perfume. :mad:)

She has to scratch her balding head and look up at the menu on the wall to decide.

Thank god another line opened up and we bought the bag, dashed into the theater as the trailers were still rolling and had to sit in the sole row that wasn't occupied front and center.

And I said to myself "...if this bitch and her Dirty Dozen teammates sit in this front row..."

And sure enough, I see the industrial sized popcorn tub walk by us with Haystacks Calhoun in tow, her surly bunch plopping down in the seats directly across from us and warming up to disturb the fuck out of us and anyone around them.

My wife, to quote Popeye had "all she could stands and she couldn't stands no more".
We got up, got a refund for our tickets, and decided to go in another few days when the film has died down.

I've heard tell of them lobbying to make theaters for:

*Strictly adults

and

*Adults with children who wont shut the fuck up

I'm all for it.
I'd vote for it.
I'd pay extra for the privelage.
I don't give a shit if this broad and her handlers paid the same amount of money as me, bringing things that disturb the movie going experience to the theater is SUPPOSED to be prohibited.
Myself and others in the theater shouldn't be distracted from the picture because you couldn't pawn your treasures off on someone for the day.

Inconsideration is all the rage, my friends.

[Shinigami]

The world doesn't revolve around you.

[SAI]

Shinigami is right. Now, if these people were talking or disrupting the movie then you have a right to complain, but as far as the food line goes - they got there first, lump it.

The theatre should, of course, have had more than one till open at the concession stand, but three people (and really, who cares why they ordered seperately) taking four minutes to buy food seems entirely reasonable, fast even, to me. Get there earlier (and yes, it would have changed the situation, because you'd have been in front of them then).

[Tweek]

Rusty, get there even earlier next time if you can help it. I try for 20 minutes beforehand even though there are so many trailers. Maybe that's a ridiculous amount of time, I dunno. It might help because you're not running so close to the showtime.

Your post reminded me of how much I hate movie theater popcorn. :mad: This part:


And Cruella, salivating over her choice of nachos mentions several times loudly "DON'T FORGET THE CHEESE ON THE SIDE".

Reminded me of Homer J. Simpson ordering Milk Duds swimming in butter at the theater: "Swim, my pretties." :D

[God of War]

I feel your pain, Rusty. People just don't give a shit. I hate going to the movies these days. And it's because of other peoples inconsideration that we, the movie fans (real movie fans) suffer. Mobile/cell phones are one of my biggest pet peeves at the cinema. Alot of people just can't seem to live without them. Surely they can turn them off for about 90-120 minutes? Apparently not :rolleyes:

[BakeTheMooCow]

Getting to a theater 6 minutes before a movie starts on opening weekend is a TERRIBLE idea. And it's a family film, so kids are definitely going to be there. They're also going to be a little noisy and annoying because they're kids.

Also, these people didn't actually do anything when you left. You assumed they would and maybe you would have been right, but I wouldn't call that being inconsiderate.

I'd suggest going to a late showing if you want to avoid kids or a matinee if you want to avoid crowds altogether. And if you just want to get some candy, go to a 7-11. It'll save you time and money.

[LordSimen]

Are people so violatile that every single freakin' trip to the movies has to result in some sort of "I'm angry at the world" story? ;)

Just get over it, for freaks sake. :p

[Natty]

My local theatre has just started doing showings for Over 18's only (no matter what the content of the film) at no extra charge...a very good idea.

I can totally understand why you left.

[TheMazVolta]

My local theatre has just started doing showings for Over 18's only (no matter what the content of the film) at no extra charge...a very good idea.


That sounds... beautiful.

[RustyRazor]

The world doesn't revolve around you.

And it doesn't move to the beat of just one drum either.
But if my last name were "Sun", you'd have egg all over your face.
Now, wouldn't you?



So the general thought is "get there early".

I get what you're saying.
My point is not the people in line but the fact that they took their sweet time in line whereas in other situations I've been in like this, people do their thing and keep it moving.

Guess this doesn't happen to everyone.
Don't mind ol' Rusty.
I'm just an angry young man.


I still hope the bitch choked on her fucking Raisinettes.

But don't mind me.

[Heisenberg]

Where is this theatre, I need to go blow my load all over the front doors ASAP!




:p

[Shinigami]

I was just being a dick before, but I'm surprised you were surprised that there might be problems getting into a movie when you arrived as late as you did. I always slip into theaters at least 15 minutes beforehand if I'm actually planning to catch the movie.

[starcat]

I'm with ya on the concession stand thing... how hard is it to choose... I dont think anything has changed on that menu since I went and seen ET... and it's not like there is alot to choose from. As far as leave the kids at home... dude you went to a noon showing of Up, a movie made for kids. We adults may like them, but they were not specifically made for us in mind. You obviously dont have kids, cause I used to say the same shit. Now I will take my 5 year old who normally does good at the movies to matinees, cause I feel thats the best time to take kids... and I actually go in hoping that there is a kid or two that kind of acts up bad in case my little man is acting up, then atleast there are kids acting worse so I know its not my kids people who dont have kids and are seeing a noon matinee of a family movie are talking about when they leave the theatre.

[RustyRazor]

I was just being a dick before, but I'm surprised you were surprised that there might be problems getting into a movie when you arrived as late as you did. I always slip into theaters at least 15 minutes beforehand if I'm actually planning to catch the movie.

I actually schedule my movies like I'm a member of MI5, but on this particular day, I said to my wife, let's go catch this flick.

"But it's only fifteen minutes until it starts and it's VERY well rated, Rusty."

Pish tosh, my dear.
What's the worst that could happen?



Not doing that anymore.

[Potter82]

SO...I went to the movies today with my wife to see "Up" and got to the second showing of the day.

Inconsideration is all the rage, my friends.

I knew little kids and they're fucking parents would be a problem for this movie, so I saw it w/ friends in the VIP section at my local theatre, where you have to be over 19+ to enter - they also have staff that come to your seats and take food/drink orders b/f the movie starts :) Needless to say, it was worth the extra $5 in this case.

[Tagia_Romero]

Why is common sense and decency not actually common?

[Abbie Normal]

I don't know what else you expected. You saw a kids movie during the opening weekend. Should have bought her the gummi bears at another story and carried them in.


If you had any balls you would have addressed the parents and ripped them for being the fat, pathetic, shitty parents they are who will also raise their kids to be fat and inconsiderate. It is up to all of us not to avoid conflict in the face of stupidity and inconsideration, but rather to explain their errors, so we can all enjoy a movie. I think you will find if you do it in a polite manner others will back you up when the bitches give you a smart ass answer. In the end you are in the right and they are wrong.

[bigred760]

I sympathize with you Rusty. It's one thing to order a boatload of stuff at the concession stand and taking your sweet ass time getting the hell out of the way . . . that alone frustrates the hell out of me, but if you don't know what you want by the time it's your turn to order after waiting in line is absolutey pathetic.

It's stories like this that have made me avoid weekend screenings as much as possible. I rarely see a movie opening weekend; usually go to a matinee during the week. Much more pleasant atmosphere.

[the clever guy]

I can sympathise with the concession stand thing. Seriously, if people have no fucking clue what to get at a theater, then they shouldn't be seeing a movie in a theater. EVERY theater has the same items at the concession stand:

popcorn
nachos
milk duds
raisenets
m&m's
gummy bears
hot dogs
snow caps
skittles
twizzlers
slushies
coke or pepsi products
ice water

I might be missing one or two things, but really? Do we need to scratch our heads when ordering the same items a theater has carried for the past few decades? I get stuck behind those same assholes all the time at the theater, even though I habitually get to a movie AT LEAST 30 before showtime (I know, I'm weird). Even though I'm quite early I still wanna flip my shit when someone has not a fucking clue what to order. Between middle aged people that have CLEARLY been to a movie in the past 50 years and these piece of shit "tweens" that seem to clutter all the theaters seeing shitty movies that make bank at the box office while the good movies make shit, I'm about to lose my shit one of these days. *A side note: these "tweens" are these same pieces of shit that can't help but text every 2 fucking minutes describing to their other piece of shit friends (probably in the same theater) how "hot the main guy in Twilight is." For fuck's sakes!!!!

Sorry, *ahem*, went off on a little tangent there...I apologize.




My local theatre has just started doing showings for Over 18's only (no matter what the content of the film) at no extra charge...a very good idea.

I can totally understand why you left.

A theater by my house does this exact same thing. It's called Hollywood Blvd. It is simply amazing....for more than just that. The lobby has a full bar, from which you can order anything under the sun and get buckets of beer for the theater. The theater also has a full restaurant. After 5, NO ONE under 18 is allowed in to any showing. No bullshit. I splooge everytime I walk in there. To my, and everyones elses, surprise...there's not too many drunken antics that happen there. I'm sure Bake has heard of the place (he's a fellow Chicagoan/Illinoisan)

[orgy316]

Every one who is saying rusty should deal with it is wrong. It gets very nerve racking that you can't go to a movie without someone having to ruin it. Either it being a lard ass, baby mama ,some annoying kid that won't shut the fuck up about a small pop, some asshole/assholes who throw skittles at the screen, or some broad who wont shut off her phone. The movie theater these days sucks in all forms.

Instead of there being HUGE rooms for movies, there should be different sized, smaller rooms that people can get to watch any movie they choose with only the people they choose. Something that can hold 3-10 people, 11-17 people, etc. That way you don't need to deal with assholes while actually watching the movie. And bringing your own food may be a way to avoid the lines. Just a few bucks at the door to replace the stand's profit.

[RustyRazor]

Hey, Abbie.

As I mentioned previously, this was a spur of the moment thing.
I normally would've purchased the gummis before we got to the theater BUT "spur of the moment" means just that. Didn't really plot it out.
Flying by the seats of our pants.

If you had any clue as to the sheer magnitude of my balls, you'd understand why I DIDN'T tell all three of these gargoyles about themselves.

I'm a big guy and in my younger days, you'd usually find my fist in the occasional moron's face. I didn't care. I have a short fuse.
As I got older, Abbie, I realized that it's not cool to slap someone for pissing me off (and seeing as how I don't hit women) or even embarrass the hell out of them in public BECAUSE (and it has happened) people freak when they see the size of me and call the cops.
Everyone immediately believes I'm gonna flip out because I already look angry SO, much like Bill Bixby, I've got squelch the rage.

Abbie, I deal with inconsiderate idiots on a daily basis and while you may have a beter handle on explaining the error of their ways to them, I do not.

Some people won't hear you no matter what volume you speak in or what language you translate to.

That's my point, Abbie.
Even if you called these women out and had a "point / counterpoint" discussion with them, they'd simply roll their eyes at you and herd their spawn together to spoil the movie for everyone else.

I won't be doing "spur of the moment" anymore because in this society of ours, an unplanned venture that used to be fun is turned into a test in patience and civility with inconsiderate assholes that don't really care about your good time.

Why is common sense and decency not actually common?

Well put.

Every one who is saying rusty should deal with it is wrong. It gets very nerve racking that you can't go to a movie without someone having to ruin it.

They need to make changes like that to deal with what "ushers" and managers used to but no longer do.

I'm right there with ya, B.R.
Me and the wife saw "Up" yesterday.
A few babies crying but all in all, a much more pleasant time was had by us.

[The Postmaster General]

I don't see movies opening weekend with my kid. We always get there 20 - 30 minutes early, get our drinks (snacks in the pocket - usually leftovers from our last visit...), and hit the arcades until ~5 - 10 minutes before movie time. My kid likes to sit far back row, far left, unless we enter on the left, then it's far right. In the event that we do get snacks, we figure it out before getting in line. If my kid has a change of heart, I either impulse buy, or make him suck it up. He starts whining, I threaten to leave or tell him we won't play video games if he keeps it up.

Took my 3 year old to see Star Trek. (PG-13) He's told before hand to whisper if he needs to talk or go to the bathroom. If something seems too scary, I lean over and whisper to him what's happening, and remind him it's just a movie. He gets it. The movie was over, he likes to watch all the credits. Apparently so do old trekkers at 11am on a Sunday... As soon as the credits ended, he says loudly, "That was cool! Can we go play video games?" The theater erupts in laughter. A guy stops us on the way out asking how old he was, saying he thought so, but was surprised - he was worried the kid "would be obnoxious." We had a similar encounter with a person sitting next to us on a plane 2 years earlier.

There's ways to do things and there's other ways to do things, and then there's the best way to do things. Do unto others and all that jive. I only hope that people enjoy their movies experiences as much as I do. If they don't, rats on them - it's their life, this movie is loud and big enough for me to not care.



As for people being freaks in lines and totally inconsiderate, taking there time - here's a story that happened to me at a Sam's Club during business hours, sorry it's not movie related, but I could have easily changed the place and been a liar:

I had a few items, had to make it early to an 8am meeting to prepare. This guy in front of me had like cases and cases and cases of soda. He gets rang up and uses a business credit card, then grabs a Red Bull, asking if it can be rang up separately. The lady asks for ID and says she can't put that on the card because the names don't match. The guy proceeds to argue. I'm standing behind him. It's like 7:30 in the morning. My phone has rang and he clearly heard me saying I was "heading there directly. I'm at Sam's checking out." The guy looks back at me several times. He keeps arguing. Managers are called, but they are busy. Finally I say, in a really dry tone (I'm too sleepy to be excited), "Hey man, I tell you what I'll buy you the Red Bull - she can ring it up with my stuff." I'm smiling. The cashier smiles. What a grand gesture I'm making to a total stranger - everyone wins, right....

The guy looks at me, red faced, arms flapping and says rather loudly, "Calm down, buddy!"

I stand there looking at him, then over to the cashier who's gap mouthed and wide-eyed before collecting herself and saying, "Here sir, I'll ring you up while the manager comes over."

As we're ringing up, I ask her, "Was it me or was that weird." She just smiles as soda popinski is still standing there.

I walk out, and just don't even look at the guy.

Some people, man...

You are friggin' cool, Bub.
And I wish I could've seen that.

[Cbenz]

I hear you on the inconsiderate nature of people at the theater, but I'm not sure I can back you up for complaining about their being kids at a showing of a children's movie. Now if you were watching an explicit horror movie, I could understand it. It seems like every time I go see an explicit, R-rated horror movie, there is some single mother with "stair steps" (several children aged no more than 1 year apart, usually: infant, 2, 3, 4, etc...). Happened to me when I saw Friday the 13th earlier this year. That is not just annoying; its poor parenting.

What bothers me more than the line at the concession stand is the ticket line. I live in an African American area (I’m white), so I'm not sure if this is a cultural thing or just how people act now, but what is up with people not knowing what they are going to see before they arrive at the theater? When I grew up you actually had to open the newspaper and check the times before you arrived, and no one seemed to have a problem with it. Now you can access movie times from your cell phone. So people should arrive at the theater knowing what they are going to see, right? Wrong!

Every time I go to the movies, there is only one person working at the box office, and the line seems endless. People wait in line for up to 20 minutes, just to get to the counter and ask when a certain movie is playing (Hint: It's on the friggin' wall in front of you! Read, damn you, read!). If the movie isn't playing at that specific moment, they throw a temper tantrum. If it is playing right then, they ask the high school girl at the register for a film review. If they have kids, they wait until it is their turn to buy tickets to argue with their kids about what movie they are all going to see. Any way you slice it, it takes at least 10 minutes for each of these idiots to buy their tickets. I would say that 75 % of the patrons at my local theater fit this pattern.

I've tried buying tickets online to alleviate this problem; however, my theater requires you to redeem online tickets at the box office. This means that I still have to wait in line behind these mouth-breathers before I can enter the theater! That is what bother's me about going to the movies.

[RustyRazor]

I hear you on the inconsiderate nature of people at the theater, but I'm not sure I can back you up for complaining about their being kids at a showing of a children's movie.

I must have misspoke.
My problem were the three witches and their need to order one of each treat from the concession stand to add a new section to their already gigantic asses when they could obviously see their gorging was holding up the line.
I expected to see kids at this flick, no real biggy.
Normally, I beef about the screaming kids but this time, the mothers were...real mothers, if you know what I mean.

[Cbenz]

I hear you there Rusty. Now we are on the same page. As someone who works with kids, I can say that the parents are usually the problem. Inconsiderate parents lead to inconsiderate children. The opposite is true as well. Look at Bubba's story; decent, well-mannered parents produce decent, well-mannered children.

[Joey Blue]

So you got in line at 11:52 for an 11:58 start? That's your problem right there.

[RustyRazor]

So you got in line at 11:52 for an 11:58 start? That's your problem right there.

I expected to be a little late, Joey.
I don't want to rush anyone who's in line before me.
That's not right.
But when the broads in front of me are doing an inventory of the concession stand items, it throws a monkey wrench in my plans.

I resolved it with my wife and we won't be doing the "spontaneous movie going" thing anymore.

We will plot it out like a military operation from this point on.

Or at least as long as inconsiderate people roam the earth...

[starcat]

Everybody runs late to a movie sometimes... no matter how hard you try to get their early... sometimes shit happens, or a last minute decision as Rusty stated this was. And no matter how old I get, I hate getting behind somebody with what seems like a hundred kids... my opinion is they should get their early as not to fuck with those of us running late. Its like getting behind some greyskull driving 45 miles an hour when your late for work.

I used to go on premier tonight to any movie I wanted, but at hte very (i.e. - Friday night/Saturday morning, 12:40 AM). As a night owl, it's convenient to have everything done beforehand and nothing to do before Saturday in the PM, so I can avoid all the little kids, overweight parents, and curfew-restricted tweens, teens and adolescents who can't be out nearly that late.

Of course, don't tell that to people because they'll just quietly consider you a creeper and a predator.
