Plus what does it say about any hearing damage for the kids? I've been in showings where the kids are quite and not crying, but do they really need to be at some action flick that has the sound cranked up?

I went to see Donnie Brasco with a friend opening weekend. 10 minutes before the movie starts a woman sits down right next to me with a baby. We rolled our eyes. She started feeding it and I thought maybe it would sleep. But then the fucking little bastard actually spit up on my arm!! So we got up and luckily found two separated seats a few rows lower. Didn't hear the baby if it did cry.

I guess it really was No Country for Old Men!

Moral of the story: be careful what movie you choose to see when you're at death's door. It might be your last.

That's funny- I worked in theaters for 10 years and never saw anyone die. Did they have the corpse carted out right away?

Whenever I see people with unruly kids, I just say to them "Shoulda used a condom".

Nothing worse than working for a movie studio where asshole employees that should know better still have the need to answer every fucking text that comes in on their iPhone or BB at screenings.

I'm ok with crying babies in theaters if the parents walk out with them as soon they starting crying. I went to see Easy A during the opening weekend and about 10 minutes before the movie ended a baby in front me started crying and them mom walked out the baby right away. When I saw A Nightmare on Elm Street remake there was crying baby somewhere in the back part of the theater and somebody "take the baby out" but it continued crying for 10 minutes after that.

Not to derail, but I went to see "Machete" last month and an employee ran up to meet her friends sitting near us in the middle of the movie and then sat down and started texting incessantly. I can't believe I had to remind her to put the goddamn phone away.

Yes! Allowing other MILFs to suckle their lactating jugs.

Lactating jugs FTW

I agree with the other posters. Alamo Draft House has this option which is pretty cool. My wife and I have only been to the movies twice since our daughter was born in February.


BABY DAY! INFANTS WELCOME!


Back to Now Showing

The Alamo Drafthouse understands that it is hard for new parents to get out for an evening on the town. That is why we proudly offer Baby Day, for the first showing of any of our films, on Tuesday afternoons. Infants are welcome to these shows, and of course, are allowed in for free. For our baby day shows, we keep the lights up a bit, and the sound down a bit, so your little one never has to know they even went to the movies! Take some time for yourself, pack up the kids, and head out to the Alamo Drafthouse for some much needed entertainment!

Call 512-219-5408 for more information and call 512-219-8135 for show times.

Infants shouldn't be free, an infant ticket should be $50.

I absolutely hate that excuse that is basically saying it's not them but it's you. Take responsibility for your own actions and don't blame the victims. I respect it's not easy being a parent, but that's just the way it is. Again, I've no problem someone bringing a kid into a movie but if they cry, then be responsible and take them into the lobby until they calm down.

I walked out of There Will Be Blood because some stupid @#$& brought her two young kids who just kept running up and down the aisle. I got my money back and the usher said she knew there would be a problem when she saw them come in but couldn't do anything about it.
It's not bringing kids to a movie that bothers me it's bringing them to a movie that is obviously not for them. I mean There Will Be Blood? Seriously? I would pay to have someone from Child Protective Services stand by the door and stop anyone from bringing anyone under 17 to an R rated movie. They should just take kid away right there.

I would pay good money to go to a theater that wouldn't allow children into a R-rated movie at all (the one here in town has a No Children under 6 after 6 policy) as well as having 21 and over only screenings.

Now if they served alcohol at the latter one that would be pretty awesome.

As I was buying tickets for the Social Network yesterday, I overheard the AMC rep tell the people beside me who were trying to watch a movie with their 2 year old, that they have a no children under 6 after 6 policy which I thought was great and didn't even know about.

When I went to see Unfaithful in the theatres 8 years ago, some woman brought her 4-5 year old son and baby with her. Everytime when Olivier Martinez and Diane Lane started going at each other in a sex scene, the woman covered her sons eyes.

In one instance, the kid asked...."Why are you covering my eyes Mommy?"

Uhhh couldn't she have waited to see the movie on date night with her husband or something and the kids stayed home with the sitter?
