I don't rightly give a fuck what movie is being shown after 7.

and it's about time.

It's more than appropriate.

The fines are too low.

YES!!!!!!

It should have been federal law years ago.

Unlike too many parents, I was responsible about it. My ex-wife and I never took my daughter to a movie theatre. If we didn't have a babysitter, we didn't go to a movie. Taking a baby to a movie theatre is the height of rudeness.

WOW!! I got away with it. I'm one of the loudmouthed assholes who will stand up in a theatre and tell people to SHUT THE FUCK UP when they are being rude assholes. I've done it several times at the Regal cinema near my home. Several weeks ago I told a couple to TAKE THAT FUCKING BABY OUT OF HERE! Twice. When I pay to see King Arthur, at 10PM, I should not have to deal with some dumb fucking asshole with a screaming baby. BTW I've discovered from experience that asking politely doesn't work, so now I go straight for the 4 letter words and enraged tone of voice.

This is a pure bullshit statement from Regal.

Nazis have a time and place. A good place for Nazis is at the front doors of the movie theatre. I'd like to see Nazis, wearing black SS uniforms, turning away rude and inconsiderate parents who bring babies to the theatre.

I hope this idea spreads beyond Philadelphia.

Isn't it the parent's choice? Or shouldn't it be?

Not when I paid the money to see, and HEAR, a movie, not a crying baby.

Sure ,I can understand that but still...

I do however wonder why a parent would have a child under the age of 6 awake past 7pm. Shouldn't it be bedtime by then?

i agree.....screamin' kids are fuckin' annoyin' as hell....and why we're at it, ban blacks too....not to sound racist, but do black people not talk durin' movies?! or is it that just in cincy? i dunno.....but yeah, people who talk durin' flicks....my god!!!!! WHY?!

anywho....that was my racist remark of the week.....but yeah, kids after a certain time....i can dig it.....

Stand up and tell them to shut the fuck up. The more of them there are, the more insane you have to appear. It works, and so far, I've never been confronted when leaving the theatre. That kind of sucks. There were a few times I was wanting a confrontation.

Oh lord, Synikul, I appear to agree with you.
My five year old has just started going to the cinema as up until recently she wouldn't have shut up and sit still long enough. Even now I stuff her with pop corn the whole time.
Kids that cry and make noise can't be enjoying the film, and if the parents want to see something but can't get a sitter, wait until it comes out on DVD, like we have for the last five years.

Wouldn't it be easier to create a '6' cert. for films for theatres that have that problem?

Never experienced those problems. About the worst case I`ve ever had was this middle aged women laughing right next to me at a fight scene in Lord of the Rings.

i support it, if i won't subject other people to my extremely active and figety children trying to watch a movie, i don't appreciate those who won't show me the same consideration...

as a matter of fact, we haven't taken our children to a movie in several years, last time mia spent the whole hour and half running laps around the theatre...and i got stuck watching the movie

i guess she wasn't to impressed with the Road to ElDorado...but i found it cute.

Another reason why I just wait until it comes out on video.

Amen!

A movie like that is the only time I don't get pissed. My girl is five and behaves pretty well in a theatre. When I take her to a kids movie on a Saturday afternoon, you have to expect noisy kids. That's when it's appropriate to bring them. I don't get pissed at those shows unless something totally outrageous happens.

I'm having a really hard time avoiding commenting on the racial comments in this thread.

Well.. I had a problem like that. My ex has a 3 year old kid.. at the least, he has an affinity to watch movies, so as long as he had mom and pop corn at his side, he would be still. but there was times when he was just cranky and unruly.. and I was a bit embarrased. oh well, that happens when you get to date Milf's.

look, i dislike annoying people in theatres just as much as the next bloke, but this ordinance is not only unenforcible, it'll no doubt be struck down the day after they even TRY to put it into affect.

what right does a city have to say to which showings a legal guardian can take their kids to... especially if its a blanket statement that says ALL children are banned, not just the annoying ones.




oh... and weren't Spiderman and Spiderman 2 pg-13?

the only time i dont mind listening to screaming/crying kids is when im at a kids movie..any other time i think they should be bloody banned. round my area a ticket to see a movie costs £5.90 which may not seem like a lot but once you've paid bus fair (i cant drive) and buy your junk it usually comes to around £15 just to see a movie, and i aint paying all that to have to sit and listen to a whiney assed little shit because its owner couldnt be assed finding a baby sister.

If the kid is loud then I have a problem, but a little fidgeting I can handle, because I find it tough to sit still too.

You don't find that here though. Just shitty teenagers who kick your seats and throw ice.

my b/f has the perfect solution for that. if they are in front of him he punches them in the back of their head. and if they are behind him he punches them in the face..luckily he hasn't needed to do that since we started going out, but i have to admit i'd love to see him do it just to see the look on the other persons face...

i remember when i went to see the second lord of the rings film with my mother and sister, my sister was stuck next to some girl who talked for the first hour of the film, normally my sister is the most non agressive person in the world but she was ready to smack this person. she eventualy told the pair to shut up, which didnt work and when the film was finished she tried to trip me and my sister up by sticking her leg out so i kicked it!!
