Did you miss the part where I said I was COOKING Christmas dinner and there were 4 other people with Internet capability who didn’t look it up either? Oh yeah. My computer refused to download the trailer. Probably didn’t get past the security settings.
Garbage in; garbage out. I will not pollute my life with such trash, which is why I walked out; and so did the 3 other people with me, as well as at least one other person. They gave us our money back, and we didn’t stay there to eat at their restaurant, either, because it was jammed. It was an odd hour to be jammed and I figure that it was because other people had fled their movies too.
The theatre lost $28 on tickets and probably $50 on food and drink. Maybe more. They have been running $5 Tuesdays with free popcorn all month. I figure that they are hurting for business. They have a number of other specials as well.
Did you miss the part where it took 1 minute to find out why the movie earned its rating? If you could look up the theater’s 1 sentence of the movie you could have looked up the MPAA’s 1 sentence on the movie. It’s funny you looked up the theater’s tag, you looked up the trailer, but now apparently there was no time to find out any other information, couldn’t even go to rottentomatoes and look up reviews and seen the rating info.
I’m not saying you should watch the movie, I’m saying you shouldn’t blame everybody else for the fact that you didn’t know what the movie was like. There’s nothing wrong with delimiting your taste, the problem is that you insist you were lied to and you quite simply weren’t. The simple fact is you just plain didn’t bother to get easily available information. Again look at the rating tag: for sequences of strong sexual content, graphic nudity, drug use and language throughout, and for some violence. With your sensibilities any movie that gets that rating explanation from the MPAA is clearly not for you. So right there is all the information you didn’t bother to get that would have saved you a lot of trouble.
Theaters have specials, especially on off days (being every thing from Sunday night through Friday afternoon). If the restaurant was packed clearly they aren’t hurting.
