Words of advice to families seeing Shrek 2:

If your kid is older than 2, they have to have a ticket.
Two and a half is older than 2, so is 3, so is 4.

Your kid screaming for popcorn in the theatre is not cute.
Your kid screaming anywhere is not cute.
Your kid throwing popcorn for fun is not acceptable.
You are the parent, DO something about it.
If you do nothing, please refrain from acting affronted or shocked that you are being asked to leave.

Running up and down the aisles in a dark theatre is dangerous, that's why adults don't typically do this.

And for theatregoers in general:

I don't know you. Therefore, I don't know where your husband has gone, what theatre your children are in, or which showing of Shrek they went to. And no, you can not go into all 7 theatres and yell for them.

If you don't have enough money for a ticket, you can't go in no matter how much you yell, swear or call me a rascist.

If you are not a member, you may not use the member line. This rule is not in affect because I am "a total bitch" but please go right on thinking that if it makes you feel better.

You cannot have your money back because Van Helsing sucked; especailly if I tried to warn you.

I swear I'm going to send X-rated videos to the next parent that get in my face because they had to "come all the way from the car" to buy 10 year old kids tickets to an R rated movie. Sorry if Showcase doesn't care...you ain't at fucking showcase now, lady.

Wow, I feel so much better having gotten that off my chest.

See, it doesn't matter, Michigan or California (and also, I assume anywhere in between or around), the general public is, en masse, poopy.

I say NUTS to you, John Q. Fuckwad.

Yeah, but there seems to be a correlation between taste and manners. This is why I choose an indie theatre over say, Star or Showcase.

i see no difference between us and the AMC Fashion Valley two blocks away, except they make more money, sell hot dogs, have state-of-the-art sound, and stadium seating.

i opted to work here because i love indy film and indy theaters (i cut my teeth at Landmark...). it's not living up to its promises.

I know what you mean. Also, I haven't had a merit raise once and I've been here almost 2 years! They also told us there'd be health insurance, and when we got it, it was at COBRA prices...$120 a month.
