They had to turn off reviews so no can go in and try to counteract the people being asshats from their computer chair 5 states over.

I’m absolutely APPALLED at the behavior of some of the citizens of Queen City as well. But you’re 100% right. They’re just armchair social justice warriors with one thumb up their ass and the other pounding out keys to make words.

As Alamo has always had clearly stated policies they come out ahead on these things.
If the family is going to try to hide behind their Childs extra chromosome then fuck THEM in the neck.
The people that complain about Alamos policies usually never GO to the fucking movies (one) and if they DO they ain't doin it at Alamo so let them bitch online and stay their asses home.
my two cents.

No, they're still stuck on that...even after admitting that the "laughter" was loud and obnoxious and that she was on her phone as well. It may be a "kids" movie, but there are other adults there watching the film and other kids who might also be bothered. It's like they don't believe kids have autonomy.

I don't have any advice, but I commiserate with you. I too live in a smoke-free building (under TLC Properties management) but one of my neighbors smokes all the time. Unfortunately they smoke in the evening when the management office is already closed, so there is very little that the property manager has been able to do. I'm counting down the months on my lease when I'll be looking to buy a house. I'm so done with being a renter.

Most of the negative reviews from the bozo brigade are from people who rarely go to movies and haven't even been to our AD. The couple that were removed from the auditorium are from a rural town and aren't used to being told they have to be respectful so that other people have a good experience. There's a lot of "Oh but it's a kid's movie" bullshit, like that excuses behavior.

A smart parent would bring their kid to one of those family-friendly screenings, sit near the back, and work with their child on how best to behave during a specific situation.

An entitled parent would bring their kid to any old screenings and would let them scream/kick seats /run around and throw the whole “oh they’re a kid, what do you expect” card.

If you are a parent, particularly a parent of a special needs kid, it’s on you to make sure your kid acts appropriately. One day your kid’s going to have to do that exact same thing on their own. Prepare them for it. Teach them not to be an asshole. Just because a kid has a disability or is non-neurotypical doesn’t mean they can’t be taught social skills.

Side note: I brought my kid to those Alamo sensory-friendly screenings when he was 3 or so and he loved them. I remember having some hiccups but hey, that’s why we sat near the aisles in the back.

I’m here from another sub. Hi!

I saw an outburst at the Alamo before. My daughter(10)and I went to see something and when we walked to the bathroom after ordering drinks and food but before the trailers started this guy was clearly drunk and reached for my kid, I just moved between them and continued on our way with a huge glare. Idk if he wanted a high five or what, but don’t reach and stare at peoples kids. It’s fucking creepy. Thinking back I should have gone to management right then, but I didn’t think. We got back to the theater and saw the guy there. He was making a scene so about 3 or 4 of the teens-young adults working there was trying to get him and his (wife?) out.

Now I respect kicking people out like this. Love that. But I was majorly disappointed that it was young, small people trying to get this larger dude who was threatening to hit them out and not the cop hanging out in the lobby or upper management. Is there a reason it’s just the servers it seems who kick folks out? Does the cop being there just stay there for show?

I never got butthurt over 'muh statehood', and never had to resort to insults. Missouri could be better, but it's not the hellhole you make it out to be. Go gaslight someone else you tool. Welcome to Reddit, you belong here.

Well at least they did something about it. I had to complain about a couple who wouldn't shut up during the Mister Roger's documentary. The manager took forever to come over and then in the end started reprimanding the wrong couple on the other side of us which made it even more awkward when we had to tell them the right couple, as they then knew it was. They didn't even kick them out so then we had to sit there while they continued to talk and talk shit on us for calling the manager.
