"Alamo Drafthouse: this isn't your reglear theater."
Sweet. I went to the Alamo Drafthouse in Virgina and it's a really great experience, watching a movie with a decent meal and not crummy popcorn.
Yeah, we have a few theaters down here where you get a good meal instead of popcorn. THey tend to be a bit more expensive, but they have strict policies of who can and can't go in. No children. In fact, if I remember correctly, guys have to be 21 and girls 18 to get in. The seats are also very large, so there is very limited seating. The good thing is that any seat you get is good. Even the front row. I think there are only 30 seats per screen. And if you start talking or texting during the movie, you also get escorted out. It is worth the extra money to see a movie there.
So, it was less stressed than a normal theatre.
Meh. I like to pay very little money for screenings. Especially this summer. Man do the flicks suck this year or what! This sounds liek a 30 or 40$ screening.
Keep in mind that you're far more likely to see Moon at a draught house than Dark of the Moon.

That is true, but the alcohol makes it funner.
But kids and idiots won't go see flicks like Moon. No need to pay more. I can go to my répertoire theatre and enjoy it there in peace.
During Dark of the Moon, I will probably text a friend to tell him it sucks and that I can't wait til it finishes. I would also expect the room to be full of teenagers. I would probably wait a week or two before going, so less will be in the room too.
Well, fair enough.
Oh, and tickets are (or, well, were) only about 20$ a piece, so it's actually a decent deal for some pub food and a movie ticket compared to, well, some pub food and a movie ticket.

Wait, the $20 includes the movie and the meal? Damn... that is pretty good. Down here you pay about $15 for the movie plus whatever the food costs.

The huge caveat on this is that I'm now digesting the fact that this was almost ten years ago... I feel old... brb, need to scare some kids off my lawn.

That's about right if you get scammed into those crappy 3d movies.
On a side note, I liked the new X-Men movie.

The 3-D movies cost $20 per person. To be honest, I don't like the 3-D movies. I get annoyed having to wear the glasses.

Very.
Perhapse the mild disagreement on the relative value of the offer was enough to call in the ORCs?

Wow, you're getting scammed. In Alabama I could get tickets to an adult-only showing that had comfortable reclining chairs and a bar for less than $20 a person. Granted that wasn't for 3D but I think 3D seems to go for about $14-15. Then again, I hate 3D so I'm hardly the expert on that.

Yeah, I don't recall seeing anything in the post that required an ORC's attention.

Yeah... South Florida is generally more expensive. I always heard that New York was really expensive and everything. I went there and it all seemed about the same price. You don't even want to know what houses go for around here.

I was moded, of course. Post #8.
The Flight of the living dead link, maybe. WTF?
Edit: I remember. I was talking about the illegal activity of seeing many movies with just paying for one ticket.
That is ridiculous.
So was the holocost.
And Godwin for the win!
Well done Sir... well done.
Is talking and texting really all that endemic in most US theaters these days? Maybe it's a difference in culture, but I've never noticed any significant number of people talking or texting once the actual movie was going. Well, barring things like outbreaks of mass cheering or laughter at appropriate moments. (I remember the cheering at the very first teaser for the first Transformers movie was particularly deafening.)
Nice PSA.

Depends on the movie and the audience.
hire a sitter, moron. And if you can't afford to do that, then don't go to the movies. Because you probably can't afford to do that either.I hate it when people bring babies to a pg 13 or higher film.
+1. Srsly.
Oh, and I also hate the flip-side of that - adults going into a PG and lower rated movie and expecting it to be silent. Now, I'm not talking about jumping around in the isles, but they're kids, dammit. They have energy and want to share stuff while watching the movie, and are still learning to control their impulses and what appropriate behavior is. It's a kid's movie, there are going to be kids there!
If I'm going to a PG or lower film ( I can't fathom why I would do such at this time) it's going to be late at night, where the odds of children being there are greatly lowered.
I'm planning on taking my son to see Cars 2 when it comes out, and I know it's going to be a crazy time!

I don't know if it's a cultural difference, but I've never run into the problem of parents taking small children to see movies. Perhaps it's because there are special shows just for babies and their parents. But I'd expect small children talking during a children's movie, it's the 13-23 demographic that bothers me the most (around 13-19 for girls and 13-26 for guys), with older men as a distant second.
Anyway, the PSAs are awesome, I'd support that theatre in a heartbeat just for that.
