Movie Theater Etiquette

so i went to Baby Mama this weekend. funny movie, worth the time and money. i had a gift card so it didnt cost me anything, but if i had it would have been worth it. anywho back to the point, the group behind us in the theater had a baby. not a toddler that 'might' be able to make it through a movie but a baby, less than one most likely. now i am not against people bringing babies into movies at certain times, but when your baby starts to cry, the movie theater is not the place to 'sush' to try and get it to stop crying.

times when it is appropriate to bring a baby to the movies:
1-when the movie is geared towards the toddler/young child age group
2-afternoon movies when crowds will be decreased
3-after the movie has been out a few weeks and less people will be watching the movie

opening weekend at night is not a good time to decide to go watch a movie with baby in tow. maybe the title of the movie made the people think it was okay to bring a baby?

does this make me insensitive? am i out of line here? the possibility exsists that the answer is yes to both. but i am leaning towards no on both accounts. when you decide to have a baby you give up the right to do whatever you want whenever you want. some activities are just not appropriate to bring a baby to.

i go to movies to relax and enjoy the movie experience devoid of extraneous distractions. for those of us that still enjoy going to movies, if you have a baby, please do not bring them to the movies.

Movie Quote Monday #58

hint for last weeks: comedy is headlined by two male a-list actors and the movie is part of a franchise.

Movie Quote Monday #57

yes troy was correct with his guess of dumb and dumber. maybe just a technicality but in the future all official guesses have to be in the comment section for that particular MQM. i will allow it this time, troy. just to reiterate, using google or another search engine is against the rules. all answers must be gathered without the aid of a computer or the like. you can use other people if you so choose.

'Ohhh…slow down baby.'

my weekend

i am a little surprised that last weeks quote has not been answered yet. this one is somewhat obscure but any other quote from this movie would have made it way too easy. this movie is a classic comedy, maybe best ever.

i saw three movies this weekend in the theater. i think that may be a record for me. not something i do often but all three were pretty good.

first i saw expelled: no intelligence allowed. it is a documentary by ben stein about how the scientific community reacts to anything intelligent design. very well made and very much worth the time. i will probably see this again. the best part is near the end when ben interviews richard dawkins, who is probably the staunchest darwinist supporter and greatest opponent of the intelligent design movement. he basically gets dawkins to admit that the cell is likely designed, but by aliens that planted it here after they evolved by a darwinian nature on their planet. this movie is worth going to if you are willing to challenge the status quo. if you beleive mainstream science without question and are unwilling to challenge that perception then this movie is not for you. i think this movie puts a spolight on attitudes and actions within the scientific/academic community that most people do not think actually takes place.

the second movie was forgetting sarah marshall. pretty funny movie, crude in some places and mildly bad languauge, but overall it had its funny moments.

the last movie was the forbidden kingdom. this is the first movie that jackie chan and jet li have done together. obviously a martial arts movie and a good one, but if you are not into martial arts movies, not for you.

Pictures

i have begun the laborious process of going through all of my pictures from England and renaming the files so i know what they are and not by their number. i took over 400 so it is going to take a while to go through them. i will probably not post many here but will have most of them on my myspace page at http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=82559109

Expelled

this movie comes out on April 18th and i will be there opening night. i am very interested to see how this is going to be presented. below is a preview of what it is about then a short synopsis, which i did not write. i have read a few books that have detailed some of the shady things that happen when scientists try to bring to light evidence that runs counter to the mainstream darwinistic philosophy. why? why are scientists blackballed when they try to present scientific arguments for intelligent design? trying to prove design is no different than trying to prove that life evolved over billions of years from nothing to humans. to try and argue otherwise is poppycock. but that is what evolutionists do. apparently what is good for the goose is not good for the gander, since evolutionist think that there is a difference. its okay for them to try and prove nothing to humans with facts, but design advocates are not allowed to make their case.



Coming to theaters nationwide this Spring 2008, EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed is an upcoming documentary hosted by author, former presidential speechwriter, economist, lawyer and actor Ben Stein who goes on a quest to expose the suppression by science's anti-theist elite, and unveil new scientific facts that may suggest evidence of intelligent design in the universe. The film also reveals how teachers, students and scientists are being "expelled" and persecuted for questioning Darwinism despite the mounting evidence that debunks Darwinism and shows proof of a Designer ("God") in the Universe!
