I hate that!!! I went to a 12:50am showing on Friday and there were parents that had babies there. What the hell is wrong with people.

Tip your gallon-o-cola on him, and then apologize. Might want to bruing a gun if things get ugly. I do. Also you could cry much louder, in the parents ear, and then say that it must be ok if their child is doing it. I just like to talk loudly and curse alot, that usually drives the annoying baby's family away. My wife gets very embarrased, but I say hell with it, children should be neither seen nor heard.

I have always thought that the theaters could let everybody in for free and still make money on thier overpriced popcorn, soda , and other junk......:-)

Actually, the theaters do not make much money on ticket sales. The movie distribution companies get the bulk of tickets sales, like 90% for the first week or so, then the ratio goes down from there. That is why you see second run theaters that are playing month old movies for half price. At that point the theater is making 90% and the distribtion co is getting 10% of ticket sales. The concession products are the only way they really make money.

Seriously. Everyone knows that if you're the parent of a child under 13 years of age, you're not allowed to do anything fun. :P

On TV they said that the Dark Night will be out July 17 in Australia. I think they are know starting to show new movies around the world at the same time to cut down on piracy

Just got back from seeing Iron Man, and it was pretty good! It wasn't corny like some other movies based on superheroes from comic books.

Just saw on TV that there are now having winge about The Dark Knight Joker Action Figure. They don't want everyone remembering him as the Joker. I would rather be remembered as the Joker then a gay coyboy

You can say that again!

I think the Joker character is much more complex than most of his previous ones.

I just hope people don't start using the Heath Ledger incident as a reason to screw up the movie. I don't want to be cold hearted, but the guy was carrying his life in his own hands. When you use drugs like that, be it prescription or anything else, you take a huge risk. I know this all to well as it is the life I lived for many years before cleaning up.

By the way, I saw Ironman Monday and it was great. My wife is another one that loved, and I had to initially drag her in. It was my turn to pick the movie though! We just have one agreement, I won't pick scary movies and she won't pick super cheesy girl junk like "Maid of Honor" or anything.

It was nice to see a comic book movie that wasn't cheesed out for once. I also saw the preview for the new Incredible Hulk with Edward Norton and it looked good as well. Marvel needed this after the pile of junk they tried to pass of as a Hulk movie 5 years ago. I used to watch the live action TV show faithfully back in the day.
