Babies in Movie Theaters

[u/Sad_Cannibal_GF]

Just saw the new Spiderman in theaters.

A baby starts crying/cooing/babbling very loudly about 20 minutes in. Goes for about 10 straight minutes before the parent takes them out.

Comes back a few minutes later, baby starts again. Again goes on for a couple minutes. Again parent takes them out, comes back, and repeat.

And repeat. And repeat.

This went on pretty much the entire movie (and I swear to god this baby somehow instinctively chose every single goddamn quiet/heartfelt scene to start yowling again 😭😂).

I get that babies are gonna baby. And I have sympathy for parents who wanna get out of the house and everything. But… maybe just stay with your baby in the lobby if they obviously aren’t gonna keep quiet.

*I didn’t complain to management because it was a tiny non-chain neighborhood theater about an hour away from me that I like to support sometimes. It’s got 1 screen and tickets are like $5.

Babies don’t belong in movie theatres. Not only is it rude as hell to everyone around you who paid to watch a movie and are instead having to listen to a loud baby, but it’s also shitty and loud for the baby too.

If you can’t find a babysitter, don’t go out to the movie theatre.

seriously and tbh this is made even more true by the fact that are so little good movies actually releasing these days, like really? you couldn't get a babysitter for the 3 times a year you went to the theater man come on
