I tried. The three times I’ve been to the theater since 2020 have been utter nightmares. People have forgotten how to be considerate in public. I won’t go into details but let’s just say that two of three times were really unpleasant, and the third was kind of gross, and all three were expensive and not particularly memorable. I’ll take a cold drink and a clean comfortable chair at home with friends, and the ability to pause something for the bathroom any day. So, no thanks.

People have become utter savages since 2020. Inconsiderate, rude, selfish, belligerent… and when you call them on their bullshit, suddenly -you’re- the bad guy. You’re “Karen” for daring to try to ask some idiot to shut the fuck up. The less I have to do out in public, the better. No wonder In Real Life fun events are slowly going away.

  I took my nephew to King Kong in 2005. There were a group of 5-6 teenagers sitting at the middle top of the theater who talked and laughed throughout the movie. In the final scenes where he had her at the top of the building, they started fake crying and I just lost my shit: I ran up to the top of the theater, falling twice on the stairs, got in the row in front of them and told them quietly but forcefully to just shut the hell up. I guess they could tell I was out of control and one of the girls starting yelling and goading me to hit her! Somebody in the audience told her to "shut the fuck up". I turned around in the seat and had to calm down before I strangled her. After the movie people were complaining and I told them to ask for a refund, because I did and got one. They thanked me for finally saying something to those idiots. I don't think I went to the movie for 10 years after that horrible experience.
