Theaters Barring Children

[Furtherman]

From IMDB.com:

Theaters Begin Barring Children

Some theater chains have begun barring children from theaters after 8:30 p.m. if they are not accompanied by their parents -- in hopes of attracting more adults who are put off by the disruptive behavior of some kids, according to USA Today. A spokeswoman for the Midwest chain Kerasotes Theaters said that it is testing "adult-friendly" screenings at 13 of its 95 locations. Marcus Majestic Cinema in Brookfield, WI, has gone further, serving alcoholic beverages and prepared entrees in its adults-only auditoriums and providing a babysitting service. "We want to create an entertainment destination and reach people who might not otherwise come to a movie theater," Marcus Theatres spokesman Carlo Petrick told the newspaper.



I think this is a fantastic idea. Unfortunately I don't think that would happen in NYC, but if a theater were to do this, I would go out of my way to see a movie there.

[JustJon]

Now let's get rid of the ones accompanied by parents too. If I go to a 10pm showing of an R rated movie, I don't want to hear your 6 year old in the row behind me.

[Fezticle98]

I can think of another group I'd like to see theaters ban...

[cougarjake13]

ahh ya already beat me to it

[Gmann]

AGREED!!

I blame the fucking parents. Don't bring your fucking 2 yr old to a 10pm showing of the movie RED EYE or some movie like that and then when the kid gets bored within the first 5 minutes of the movie makes noise and begins to play with your fucking cell phone in order to keep itself entertained.

Sorry....went off on a bit of a rant there....


Im sorry if youre a parent and because you have kids can't go see certain movies. And by the way the parents on this board post, you all sound like good ones, BUT FUCK THAT. If I have to pay fucking $10.50 per ticket I wanna enjoy the fucking movie I paid to see. I applaud this notion and pray it comes to NYC.

[IamPixie]

I can think of another group I'd like to see theaters ban...

yea stupid ass loud teenagers who talk the entire time and yell shit at the screen to try and impress each other. God I'm getting old.

[Furtherman]

The Amish. Screaming "What is this deviltry!!" at the screen and their milk bottles rolling under the seats. So obnoxious.

[JustJon]

You forgot the bit where they talk on their cell phones.

*OBNOXIOUS RINGTONE*
Oh! Hey yo! Nah, I'm seeing Transformers! Yo shit! Motherfucking Megatron!

[Keotok]

OK, the kids are obnoxious, but the waitress serving drinks and food isn't? What about the fact that with food and drinks served, the use of the facilities becomes more frequent. That's not obnoxious. What about the 22 year old on the fucking phone. They aren't obnoxious. Only if you are under 18 and unsupervised are you deemed obnoxious. What about having the theaters becoming more responsible, and less money hungry, and maybe hire some people to monitor the theaters and KICK OUT THE ASSHOLES no matter what the age, race, creed, sex, whatever. Not to mention that kids are the only ones who can afford to go to a movie anymore. Fuck 'em. One more reason to illegally download their pieces of shit films...

[StupidGirlllll]

The Theatre in Elizabeth mall, does not let children in any movie that is rated pg-r even with a parent after the 8 o clock show.

[Keotok]

That's great. One more place where a kid cannot go. And we wonder why our kids are growing up to be manic, anti-social freaks.

[StupidGirlllll]

Its after 8 oclock & an R rated movie. Who wants a screaming baby or whinny kid in an R rated movie anyway. Geez you have to have kids to understand. If you do or when you do have kids you will be looking for a place that has none when you are out on the town.

I have 3 kids.

I'm with you on kids that are like 7 and under.

If I decide to take my 13 year old to an R movie, then I don't see what the big deal is.

I also believe that my (nearly) 17 year old should be able to go see a movie with his girlfriend if they so choose without me hovering around like a school marm. If they start acting inappropriate, then kick their asses out. Don't blanket ban "kids" from movie theaters because Theater managers are too pussy (or to young themselves) to kick out the ones being dicks.

[Snacks]

That's great. One more place where a kid cannot go. And we wonder why our kids are growing up to be manic, anti-social freaks.

I think its a great idea. I hate going to see a movie and being bothered by teenagers or parents with small kids.

And what do you mean one more place kids cant go? EVERYTHING is done for children to protect children from everything. Adults cant do anything they enjoy anymore because children are involved or if they come across something that they shouldnt.

Sometimes adults like to enjoy themselves with "just" other adults relax. You cant go to ball games and go crazy because of someones kids. People want to sensor radio and TV because of the kids. They want less violence, cursing, sex on tv and in movies because of the kids. Here is an idea, if we want kids to stay kids and not grow up so quickly then lets treat them like kids and not let them do things that adults do. This way adults can enjoy themselves Not all adults have kids, wants kids, so why should things we like or enjoy have to change because someone else has kids?

Love angry Keo!!!:devil2::wub:

[patsopinion]

people still pay to see movies?

[Keotok]

I think its a great idea. I hate going to see a movie and being bothered by teenagers or parents with small kids.

Weren't you a kid once. Were you ever a dick in public? How did adults deal with you and your friends? Kids are part of our society too, and you have to deal with them. I'm with you on the really little kids in a late or inappropriate movie. But then the parents need to be dealt with. Banning all kids, or any group of people for that matter, because you don't want to be bothered is wrong.

And what do you mean one more place kids cant go? EVERYTHING is done for children to protect children from everything. Adults cant do anything they enjoy anymore because children are involved or if they come across something that they shouldnt.

Kids (and again I mean pre-teens through teen) no longer have anywhere to go. Bowling alleys are banning kids, and many are closing anyway. Kids aren't allowed in malls, parks, even neighborhoods, and now theaters anymore without being harrassed, etc. They can't go into stores when more than one go in at a time. Where are they allowed to go? What can they do to just "hang"?

Sometimes adults like to enjoy themselves with "just" other adults relax.

There are plenty of places to go to enjoy yourself with "just" adults.

You cant go to ball games and go crazy because of someones kids. People want to sensor radio and TV because of the kids. They want less violence, cursing, sex on tv and in movies because of the kids.

I never said you need to censor yourself at all. You are confusing two different issues.

Here is an idea, if we want kids to stay kids and not grow up so quickly then lets treat them like kids and not let them do things that adults do.

Kids cannot be kids anymore. There is no longer anywhere for them to go to be kids. Also I strongly believe that I need to set an example to my kids and by taking them to the movies, dinner, to a store, or just "out" in general, and demonstrate a proper attitude and behavior, then I am furthering the way they should behave when they are alone and responsible for themselves. Your way has them locked up in a house until they are appropriate.

This way adults can enjoy themselves Not all adults have kids, wants kids, so why should things we like or enjoy have to change because someone else has kids?

You are asking people who have kids to change. Teenagers have been going to the movies for years and years. Without research or anything to back up this next statement, I bet "kids" have been going to movies since movies have existed. I bet you even went to a movie as a kid.

[J.Clints]

I can think of another group I'd like to see theaters ban...

Seniors.....they take to long to get out of the aisle going to the restroom.

[DolaMight]

I love the idea, example I found it awkward to have non adults around when I ran a batch during monster's ball. AO all the way baby.

There is a reason for this, kids no longer respect adults or authority. Yeah there are always kids that act like asses, but now the majority act like assholes and dont listen or respect anything or anyone.

Sure there is, parks, school activities like dances, school sports (playing or being in the stands), friends houses.

I wouldnt want kids/teens hanging in my place of business either. They dont show respect and make it uncomfortable for people. If you go to any of the Dunkin Donuts around here there are 15-25 teens hanging out in the parking lot for no reason. I know the owner of one of the locations and he tells me that it kills his business because people are affraid to walk through a crowd of teens who are acting like fools and talking shit.

Yes I did go to movies as a kid. But when I would do something my parents would remove me from the theater. When I got older (teen years) I was too busy hooking up with a girl to be bothered acting like an ass or talking loudly. I hate going to a movie and hearing people talk, getting up ever 2 seconds and not enjoying the movie. Its not just kids, but most of the time it is.

What it all comes down to is parents today suck and so many kids dont learn properly. Its not all parents and not all kids but so many bad apples have forced businesses to not want kids, I dont blame them. There is more headaches doing business with kids then its worth.

[TheMojoPin]

Kids have no "rights"...because they're kids. Suck it up and build some character, you little shits.

[Fallon]

You forgot the bit where they talk on their cell phones.

I don't hear people talk on them. But I HATE when someone around me starts texting and the glow of their phone distracts me. I shut mine off.

[PapaBear]

I can't get past the sound of people eating candy out of boxes. I never go to the movies anymore.

[Fallon]

I can't get past the sound of people eating out boxes.

:blink:

[Keotok]

There is a reason for this, kids no longer respect adults or authority. Yeah there are always kids that act like asses, but now the majority act like assholes and dont listen or respect anything or anyone.

And too many people turn away and ignore that. Do something. Say something. You can make a point to the asshole kids without being a total douche. I do it all the time. 9 times out of ten, the kids have no idea they are being dicks. I usually get an apology.

Sure there is, parks, school activities like dances, school sports (playing or being in the stands), friends houses.

Parks have a "No loitering" law, so that's out. School activities do not occur every weekend, let alone every night, and there are plenty of kids who have no skill or interest in sports. Friends houses are the only place I will agree with, and that takes them out of society, and keeps them out of your way...

If you go to any of the Dunkin Donuts around here there are 15-25 teens hanging out in the parking lot for no reason.

Again, the prick kids are being left to their own devices. Nobody is saying anything or doing anything. Not to mention THEY HAVE NO PLACE ELSE TO GO!! It used to take a village. Now it's everyone else's responsibility but mine. Sad.

Listen. I don't condone bad behavior of anyone. If ANYONE is disruptive to the point of ruining the movie (or any experience), then they need to be removed. Don't blanket ban a group (especially a group who can't defend themselves properly) and ruin the experience for good people who are trying to have some fun.

What it all comes down to is parents today suck and so many kids dont learn properly. Its not all parents and not all kids but so many bad apples have forced businesses to not want kids, I dont blame them. There is more headaches doing business with kids then its worth.

I don't have anything to say here. This is your opinion.

I am not entirely opposed to adult themed things. I enjoy going out on Grown-up nights. But compromise. Have adult nights maybe twice a month. Serve your alcohol and dinners. Enjoy. But don't totally take things away from kids because you get bothered a few times a year at a theater. "Kids" will eventually be so totally alienated from any adult interaction that our entire society will suffer. As cliche as it sounds, they are the future. Like it or not. You can set an example. You can have a conversation. Or you can absolutely push them into a corner and ignore them until they are either stealing your car or writing up your car loans...(which is stealing in another form).

[Chris from TX]

I blame the blacks...

I'm scratching my head here trying to think of all these institutions that are banning kids left and right, but I'm not coming up with a whole lot. It seems like all I see now is family-friendly entertainment. Teens can't go to bowling alleys anymore? That's like 90% of their business... same with movie theaters. Most places don't ban kids because it would be financial suicide to do so.

[Keotok]

Kids around here cannot go into a mall more than 2 at a time. And even then there are a list of "rules" that apply only to them. They cannot enter most stores more than 1 at a time unless they are with a parent, and that is any individual under 18. There is only 1 bowling alley in my area now, and the one that recently closed limited kids to groups of 3 or less. (which, in my opinion, is the likely candidate as to why they closed) Like I said before, Municipal parks have a "No Loitering" ordinance.

Let's play a game. Let's say you are 17. It's 8:30 on a Saturday night in 2007. Where would you go?

[Death Metal Moe]

I love the sound of this.

So glad someone else's life decisions or mistakes won't effect me in certian places anymore.

Bravo.

[A.J.]

If I see a movie, I only go to the matinee showing which has the fewest amount of annoying people.

Exactly. Your options should be limited and it's a struggle to get out there and think you're acting like an adult. THAT'S what being a stupid teen is all about, and that's how it was for a long time. Again, old fart mode, but kids today are too goddamned spoiled and have too much available to them too young, and I think that's FAR more detrimental to their development than something like this.

[Keotok]

Well, I'm gonna give up. I can't believe I am so alone. I can't believe that all of you look at a kid or a teenager, and just see problems. They are just little people. They are LEARNING. In my opinion, everyone has given up teaching kids about society. It is so much easier to remove all options, then to hold people (both kids and parents) responsible. I think it's a shame. The only think I have to say about our future is :help:

[Death Metal Moe]

Why should I haev to put up with your kids? Huh? My parents never had a fucking magical place they could get rid of me for hours on end when I was little.

You talk about leaving your kids for hours on end at the bowling alley, the movies, the mall. Is that raising them?

Kids have plenty to do when their parents find them things to do. They're little people, but they also can't and shouldn't be left alone for long peroids of time like that.

I'm talking mostly about 12-17 year olds. I don't condone leaving little kids around for endless hours so I can go and do what I want. I have a 5 year old, and I do my part for her sake. I also have a 13 and 16 year old. It is mostly them that I am talking about.

And I don't know what you mean by long period of time. I don't think it is unreasonable to be out with friends for 2-3 hours on a Saturday night. I would prefer that they are not out just wandering, but that is all that they can do anymore.

[Hottub]

Our parents never saw us. For hours on end. We had fucking magical places.

The Backyard. The Park. The Woods. The Ballfield...

Goddam kids today.

[Keotok]

Those were the days.

Oh, and get this. The ballfields are fenced in and require permits. It's a $200 fine for trespassing!

[Death Metal Moe]

I don't know where you live, but all I get when I go to the mall are those aged kids walking around. Being little assholes in movies, talking through the entire thing, texting and taking cell phone calls during the movie.

I don't see the epidemic you do.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

If I see a movie, I only go to the matinee showing which has the fewest amount of annoying people.

this is what I do normally

but on Date Night with Wifey, it tends to be on a fri -sat night. This is where I wish I had a shotgun, so i can kill the annoying teenagers

:king:

[grlNIN]

I either go to the movies in the afternoon on a weekday or later at night (7-10) on a weekday. I don't even try to waste my time on the weekends because i know what i'll be in for.

It's annoying to an extent but at the same time i prefer going at the times i go, i really don't like a crowded theater. I also don't see a lot of teenagers in the movies i do happen to go to see, again i don't know if that is because of my timing or that they're just not there.

I do hate walking past all of them when they're laying on the ground and smoking cigarettes by the entrances though. That i can do without.

At the same time you can't blame it all on teens, they are as many, if not more obnoxious adults who ruin movies as well.

*EDIT*

I'd like to also note that as a teenager14-16 i did hangout at the movies. We would go and see one and then sit outside with other kids from ours and neighboring schools. We stayed off to the sides and behind the theaters though and there was always security patrolling the parking areas over and over and they would make you leave if you were being a genuine douchebag.

I don't know how many posters here are familiar with Red Bank but oh man, i have never seen more teens in such a small area at once. They crowd the sidewalks and sit in the Commerce bank parking lot, push eachother into the streets while people are driving, etc. It is really the worst i have ever seen in regards tot his type of stuff and totally ruins the town for the weekend.

[Death Metal Moe]

I just wanted to add that I'm not against kids having things to do. Out in PA near where the rest of my band lives, the folks out there wanted a skate park for their kids to have something to do. We were part of a "Battle of the Bands" to raise money. Donated our time for free.

I think kids should have a place to go, I just don't think it's everyone else's responsibility and I don't it's a huge epidemic. People who don't have kids shouldn't be saddled with any responsibility, even just putting up with them while trying to enjoy themselves out for a night.

But back on the other side of the topic, I do agree with GrlNiN. I know what to expect from certian places at certian times, so I don't frequent those places at specific times. But should I really have to tailor my schedule around others?

This is from our local mall. I took this picture this morning. While taking this picture, I had my hood on, and had my Ipod playing. I had the headphones around my neck and could clearly hear the music playing. Security walked right by. There were approx. 40 people of various ages walking around the mall. Since this picture was taken at about 9:05am, the only stores open in the mall were CVS and the bank. Nobody was escorted out. If any rules were put up and directly targeted Blacks, or Hispanics, women, elderly, disabled, or to steal a line from Tesla, Long-haired freaky people, everyone would be incensed. But kids...fuck 'em.

On a side not, it should be common sense not to be skateboarding and riding bikes in a mall. That goes without saying. The wheelie shoes, I don't really have a problem with. The shoe stores in this mall sells them.

[Hottub]

I can't really see the sign. It's too small. But I imagine it reads similarly to ones posted in malls all over our great nation.

I won't be outraged until they ban hoody-wearing Milfs!:wink:

[Keotok]

Sorry 'bout that. I thought it would do that re-size thing.

Here's what it says:

NO LOITERING IN THE MALL
The mall is for shopping, and not a hang out.
You will be asked to leave if you do not follow the mall rules.
1. NO hood wearing.
2. NO hanging out.
3. NO one 15 and under allowed without an adult 18 or older.
4. NO skateboarding/Healies or bike riding on mall property. NO skateboards.
5. NO bad language.
6. Please keep your cell/Ipods very low.
Mall Management/Security

[BoondockSaint]

Forget barring, they should be burning children.

[Keotok]

Oh, don't get me wrong. If it comes down to them or me, burning it must be.

[Hottub]

FYI, Tesla did a cover of that song. Originally by The Five Man Electrical Band.

[Furtherman]

NO LOITERING IN THE MALL
The mall is for shopping, and not a hang out.
You will be asked to leave if you do not follow the mall rules.
1. NO hood wearing. That's dumb. You can't tell people what they can and cannot wear.
2. NO hanging out. What about all the old folks who sit on the benches? Toss those hooligans too?
3. NO one 15 and under allowed without an adult 18 or older. 18 year olds can be just as dumb as 15 year olds.
4. NO skateboarding/Healies or bike riding on mall property. NO skateboards. In the mall, I agree, and I'd agree in the parking lot as to not damage cars.
5. NO bad language. Stop it.
6. Please keep your cell/Ipods very low. This, I agree with
Mall Management/Security


Overall, I'd say that mall sucks. They're coming off like you're shopping in your friend's grandmother's house, but it's a mall.

What mall is that anyway - near Philly... I'm guessing?

[TheMojoPin]

Uh, yes. I wasn't kidding when I said that kids do not have the same rights as adults. Trying to equate them to "everyone else" is simply incorrect. Until you're 18, you're pretty much at the mercy of everyone else. Places like theaters and malls should be concerned with keeping kids safe when it comes to dealing with children...and that's it. If they don't want kids there, hey, tough titties. These are private establishments that can decide who they want coming in or hanging out.

Again, private property. They can make whatever rules they want that they think will appeal to the primary paying clientele.

Frederick Towne Mall, Frederick MD

...which is losing money hand over fist. I think that the whole mall is closing down and they are going to try an "outdoor feel" style mall. We'll see how it goes.

I bet they started the rules when Crazy Jen was a teenager.

No. There are no rules against mooning people, and giving random strangers HI fives...

But kids arent a race they are part of society that doesnt vote and (for a reason) are controlled by their parents and to make sure if they are not controlled by ther parents others make rules like this.

The wheelie shoes, I don't really have a problem with. The shoe stores in this mall sells them.

I hate these fucking things. Everywhere I go a kid is gliding across the street, isle in a store, at the mall and every time they almost run into me, or force me to stop what im doing while they glide around. And just because a store sells something doesnt mean they want you to or you should use it in their location. Malls sell lots of shit like musical instrument, beds, remote control cars and more. Should they be allowed to sleep in the middle of the mall, or play the drums ? No.

[Keotok]

I have never been bothered by the wheelies. I have never had any encounter with any kid rolling into me uncontrollably. Different lives I guess...

It wouldn't bother me. It may be interesting and entertaining. Sterile environments are boring.

[TheMojoPin]

I hate those wheelie shoes because they didn't fucking exist when I was a kid. It's basically like having Inspector Gadget's shoes, something I would have most likely killed for as a child. I want to clothesline every little brat that skates by on them just because they get to have them and I didn't.

Yes, because the only sources of anything interesting or exciting in our lives comes from douchebag teens and pre-teens.

I hate those wheelie shoes because they didn't fucking exist when I was a kid. It's basically like having Inspector Gadget's shoes, something I would have most likely killed for as a child. I want to clothesline every little brat that skates by on them just because they get to have them and I didn't.

Yeah...I want them too:down:

Now let's get rid of the ones accompanied by parents too. If I go to a 10pm showing of an R rated movie, I don't want to hear your 6 year old in the row behind me.

thanks for sayin' that Jon,I agree 1000%!

I was more talking about random people sleeping on a newly purchased bed in the middle of the mall. Someone playing a newly purchased drum set would be fun, too. Especially if they didn't know how to play.

Douchebag teens/pre-teens are never a joy. They are not who I am arguing on behalf.

It seems a lot of those rules are aimed at weeding out the douchebag kids. Call it profiling if you will. The unfortunate drawback is good kids, like ours , have to suffer. They just want to go to the bookstore, the record store, buy a new shirt, etc.
The douchebags are rooning it for ALL kids. Just act like a civilized human, please. Then maybe some of the rules will go away.

I dont know your kids but I always love when parents say "our kids are the good ones"! You never know, your kids could be the ones we are talking about and you would never know it. Kids are different when their parents arent around, so you may think you have "good" kids, but that may not be the case to everyone else!
