I seldom go to the movies, and a big reason is OLD PEOPLE. They talk through the movie, if they've seen it before (and this is usually the old peahens) they'll whisper what's going to happen next!

Not only do they insist on talking, but whoever they talk to is deaf. So, "Huh? What?" and the deaf usually shout instead of whisper. If an old couple try to sit near me, I'll move.

Oh, I have taken little kids to nursing homes to visit the inmates. They beg and cry for any little scrap of attention the child will give them. Just a few years before, I'll bet they were blackballing some young family in a gated club because they're "retired, don't want to do that anymore."

Hey, the world goes round and round.

“Hey, the world goes round and round”

Uh... you’re going to be old some day, I mean you do plan on growing old, don’t you? And when you do, you’re going to maintain the same standards of public decorum and courtesy as before, right?

Now... I haven’t set foot in a movie theater since the 1970’s, they were already becoming anarchy zones. The idea of old people becoming a disruption is new to me. Or is this what happens when flower children enter the `golden years’? Just asking.

I just don’t think that old folks pose the same threat to decorum in public venues as disruptive young people do. That is, unless our theaters and restaurants are going to soon be invaded by roving gangs of “Hell’s Grannies”.

Anyway, can we agree that screaming kids are usually the product of negligent parents?
