[QUOTE="jdavis, post: 1337735, member: 8704"] I must of got your extras then. I'd have to say that a full 1/3 of every movie going experience I have ever had there has been a problem with children, including twice I left with my own children because I didn't want my kids to ruin somebody elses experience. Your supposed to be quiet in movies which is something it's hard for kids to do. Your sporting event theory is totally bunk due to the fact that you are supposed to yell your head off at a sporting event and act crazy, it's the expected behavior. If you were at any kind of sporting event and people were sitting there in the dark being quiet for the full length of the event then you must of been in the twilight zone. If somebody tries to do the freaking wave in a movie theater they are getting kicked out. Would a drunk bother me in a movie theater..... only if he wouldn't shut up, not every person who gets drunk runs around yelling, heck most drunks in a place as dark as a movie theater would probably just pass out. Point is it's a lot less likely to be a problem than children in a movie theater or especailly young teens in a theater talking and cutting up, which is one of the main reasons you couldn't force me into a theater on a Friday or Saturday night, there is a 99% chance there will be young people having a good old time at the expense of my movie enjoyment (I am sure a lot of people would of loved to kick me out of a theater when I was 16 myself). Teens don't go to the theater on Friday nights to see the movie they go to have fun, the minute the movie isn't exciting to them they have fun in other ways. Anybody who would go to a theater to get drunk would be a idiot to start with (it cost $5 for a coke, a beer would be astronomical not to mention the 8 to 10 it would take to get them drunk).
