A small group of us just went last night to see the new Ant Man movie. We’ve had problems before with adults acting a fool during the movie (i.e. beaming candy at us for no reason). Yesterday we did have a handful of kids/teens there talking throughout the movie & a baby crying for a few mins but nothing ridiculous. Upon entering and leaving the building though, there were about 5+ security guards standing around. We’ve never seen them before and they seemed pretty bored tbh. I hadn’t heard of any shenanigans lately that would prompt that to become a standard, but it maybe a new thing. Based on our experiences, it’s not always the kids that are the problem. But I’m also not going to complain that no kids will be allowed after a certain time.

Ive been tossing around this idea that yall were raised by post columbine basket cases who, ironically, drove their kids to find their third spaces in tribalistic hate corners of the internet based on inherited identity rather than proximity once iphones became widely accessible. Social bonds are precious and worth defending, but shit goes south fast without a level head around. Social capital is both everything and baseless without a sense of respect and true role models. Troll-y gamers come to mind. Anyway good luck youngn, we're all in this together, its all hands on deck to make it better

Shithead kids getting dumped there by parents causing the actual spenders to not go.

They make maybe $1 per ticket for a kid in profit if all the do is buy a ticket. They make multiples more per adult that has a drink before the movie, ticket, popcorn/snacks etc, and they’re less likely to go if it’s a garbage experience because some shithead kids are being assholes screeching and on their phone.
