I totally agree with your sentiment. The last few movies we have gone to, there have been preteens that are “coupled” up that parents have just dropped off @ the movies with no supervision.. 11 & 12 yr.olds on “dates” in a dark theater. I teach that age group and they do not need to be in a boy/ girl situation with no adult supervision! Also, we have had to get onto children who were rude and disruptive and you just cannot enjoy the movie. We now either watch at home on our large screen t.v or we go to the drive in nearby. It costs $10 for a car load and the drinks and popcorn we bring from home.
There ARE no drive in movies here anymore. I kinda wish they would come back.
