Don't Take Your Baby to the Movies

You know one thing that annoys me these days is how bad movie theaters have gotten. It gets to the point that I don't even want to go see a movie at a movie theater anymore because I am afraid some baby will be crying or some kids will be talking on their cell phones during the whole film. Now we all know that both these things will eventually happen, but if I am going to go out and spend money on a movie ticket I would rather they not. For this reason I only go out to the movies on special occasions now where if I miss bits and pieces of the movie it's OK, because at least then it is a bit tolerable.

I just never could understand how someone could bring a baby to a movie. I mean I understand we are all busy and especially with kids, but did you ever think to yourself before you brought your kid to the movie theater, "How the hell am I gonna enjoy this if I have to tend to my kid the whole time or if they are crying the whole time"? Now if you didn't think that far one would at least hope that you would stop yourself from doing so when you realized if your child cried in the middle of the movie you would ruin it for not only yourself but everyone else there. I mean I can understand if you want to see the movie, but it's clear that a very young child surely won't be enjoying themselves that much in that sort of environment.

We all know babies cry and it's a fact of life. You shouldn't be that concerned about that happening as much as you should be concerned with what if your baby gets sick or what if the weather gets really bad and you can't leave because of it. Before you think no one in their right mind would take their baby out in adverse weather conditions you would be wrong. One time when I was younger I went to see a movie and the weather all the sudden go really bad on our way there, but we were sort of prepared in case something bad happened. We get there and shortly after the movie starts we see a couple with a baby infant. Now this would not be too bad, because we all expect them to cry, but the worst part is that they took the baby in terrible conditions and probably hadn't thought about what could happen. We could have been snowed in by a blizzard and they could possibly not be able to get home.

If I was in the same situation I would never take my little baby to a movie. It's not just because I don't think that they would enjoy the movie very much, but also because it's unfair to the other paying customers there. I mean if you think about it everyone paid same as you did and if you were to take your little baby to the theater and it were to cry the whole time you would feel bad, because you ruined it for everybody and not just yourself. It's unfair to the paying customers and it's unfair to your baby to put it in that type of situation. For me I would rather be home enjoying my baby then going to see a movie that I can see anytime.
