    Oh, I'll ignore it. If I wasn't so pissed off about Parsons and all the other related free agency stuff, I wouldn't have posted in this thread. I'm in a very bad mood. Just forget I said anything and enjoy yourselves.

    Your first mistake is you went to go watch Transformers!!! But, yeah glad that scoundrel was dragged out of the theater, people these days know respect for others at all, especially the elders!

    Another race baiting thread? Lovely. Assholes come in all colors, and assholes are the main reason I stopped going to movies. All the talking forced theaters to crank up their speakers so loud that I'm convinced regular movie goers will suffer permanent hearing damage. Screw that. I would love to see a theater chain charge a membership to watch movies - something like a VIP room. Make the membership 1,000+ a year, and revoke it (with no money back) from anyone who disrupts the movie with loud noise. That would get me and my family back to the movies. Otherwise, it's just easier for us to watch them at home.

    The days are long gone when I had to watch the best films on the biggest screens. I have fond memories of driving 30 miles to watch Last of the Mohicans in a quality theater, but I just don't care enough anymore.

    I went to some movie theater in the Dallas area a month ago and upgraded to the upstairs VIP area for the hell of it. Eh, it was ok.

    Serves you right for financially supporting movies that whitewash history.

    There was a black family in front of me where the kid needed to pee but the mom didn't feel like taking the kid to the bathroom. She had him pee in a cup, but he missed and pissed on the shoulder of the person sitting in front of him.

    The latest Madea movie. I saw it in Texas City at the rundown mall. It was a lot of fun!

    You take that back! Last of the Mohican's is Michael Mann & young DDL at their finest.

    It's an incredible film, and I advise anyone who hasn't seen it to not watch that clip unless they already know what happens.

    I wasn't there for the movie; I was there for the entertaining audience.

    The only way to guarantee not getting kicked or peed on I guess is to sit in the top row, but then you have to deal with everyone's phone glares when they're texting.

    I really find that hard to believe. Especially in 2014, stadium seating/ 500 capacity auditorium with cool A/C with a giant screen the size of a freaking wall and you mean to tell me she can't take the kid down a flight of stairs to the nearest stall? Was this in the 70s grindhouse theaters on 42nd St??? You are lying!!! Two words: Alamo Drafthouse

    Just a general warning to the bbs:

    Stay off of Deckard's lawn.
