Do it and expect to justifiably hear it from patrons / management if she's disruptive.

If you choose "twikoff" you have to explain what it means. I still don't get it.

My worst experience was at The Avengers. I posted about it in that thread, but holy crap. in the row behind me, two kids under 5 at a 7:30pm (8 by the time it started) show. The first 20 minutes were a nightmare. Nevermind the film being PG-13, those kids shoulda been in bed by 8:30. Horrible parenting call there.

But they were teaching their kids "theatre etiquette".

I think they were teaching them asshole etiquette if they let the kids talk/make noise for 20 minutes.

Re: Bringing a child / baby to the movies

Yeah, mom and grandpa didn't have any etiquette either. Neither new how to whisper. That was a complete self absorbed trip to the movies. That wasn't for the kids in the least. They were yelling at the kids to be quiet, eat their candy, sit still. Yelled at them on the way out that they were never coming back to the theater again. I felt bad for the kids. It was their bedtime, they didn't want to be there at all. Moms and gramps were the assholes here.

It may have just felt like 20 minutes. It was the entire opening with Loki and the Teseract, however long that is.
