I mean just because someone is born different doesn't change the rules. everyone bought a ticket expecting a quiet theater. it sucks they can't go out with their kid but they seriously can't be so stupid they think a whole theater of moviegoers needs to bend over backwards for them. entitled as fuck lol

Okay well, I misspelled the first one and decrime is shorthand, but I guess you never use shorthand on a day-to-day basis. On the main point, instead of pretentious grammar corrections, by that logic missouri would have legalized weed because they allow sale of it. However, they didn't because they couldn't, but they could completely decriminalize it which is what I'm talking about. Oregan didn't completely decrime hard drugs, obviously, just small amounts. In reference to canada tho, yea they are legalizing it, not decriminalizing it, because they are changing federal law. I suppose since you care about words so much, I could've bypassed both of your worthless comments by simply saying nowhere in america has legalized hard drugs like canada is planning to. Which is true

I wish other theaters in town had the same rules. Had an awful experience at the Moxie not long ago with a family talking through a not-kid-friendly film, and when I complained to the staff afterward they stated they've had previous issues with the family but they clearly weren't going to do anything about it. (I am a member, and will continue to visit the Moxie frequently though)

If you want to use your phone and be disruptive or have a child that is going to be disruptive, neurotypical or not, either go to an all ages show at Alamo (I think they even do shows where the volume is lowered and the lights aren’t as dim for audio visually sensitive children) or go somewhere else.

Can confirm that they have a no tolerance policy on phone use/noise, especially if patrons are complaining.

The thing that gets me about this is, other people were complaining, while in a dark theater, how would they have known the child had Down’s syndrome? Why are they turning this into a witch hunt?
