Looks good. They need to get a handle on the noise and such as well, though. I refuse to go to the theater at the mall near me because the locals bring their babies in, talk on cell phones, and are generally rude. If they did that I'd feel good about going again.

Babies in the theatre? Talking on cell phones? WTF!?! If someone is talking on a cell phone in theatre and he's within range I would punch him.


Do you not live in the US?

Honestly, every time I go to the theater some people have ringing cellphones, another group of jackasses keeps talking throughout the movie, etc. Fucking obnoxious. I only go to the theater these days when it's a movie I really "need" to see on the big screen, otherwise I wait for the DVD and enjoy it in my home theater.

Lots of the time shutting them up really isn't an option. I'd like to see you shush, let alone punch in the face, a 6'4" 250 pound black dude sitting with about 10 of his buddies. Good luck with that.

The seating isn't the problem, the people are.


No, I'm not from the US. And I've never had problems with cellphones in the theatre, let alone babies. I still don't understand the theatre allows babies.
Well, I'm not 250 pound, but I am 6.5'.
When the theatre is not very crowded you can sit where you want so there's plenty of room and you won't have trouble with your neighbours anyway. When it is crowded you sit by number and there's personel of the theatre to make sure everything goes smooth. If you can't shut up you'll get a flashlight in your face. But it really is hardly ever necessary.
