I guess they will find out nobody needs the theater.

Go read a book or listen to one on tape. The books are always better than the movie.

I want, I want, I want! Go on government, make everyone do everything for me!

It’s getting harder and harder to feel any sympathy for every whiny little shit with a problem. We’ve all got problems pal and not being able to watch a friggen movie is not one of them.

We saw one of those stupid pool lifts for the first time recently, asking each other, WTF is that thing?

And indeed, no one was using it, at a busy hotel in Hawaii.

I remember a time when our local representatives used to mail us questionnaires about current issues so they would know how to vote. Have not seen one in quite a few years.

Guess they use NSA data now to sift through our opinions..............

A local girls' swim team can no longer compete because they can't afford to put one of those lifts in their school's pool for the handicapped. Because they don't have a lift they're not allowed to compete with any other team in the league.

So rich schools can continue to have swim teams, but poor schools can't.

I guess being handicapped trumps being poor.

I haven't been to a conventional movie theater in 15 years. The last time I was there, a bunch of idiotic teenagers were talking and carrying on as if they were in their living room watching TV. They were rude and totally oblivious to the other patrons. The floor was sticky from spilled drinks and there was all manner of junk discarded onto the floor by idiot patrons.

If there's really a movie I want to see, I buy it from Amazon.com. I don't bother with video stores or places like Netflix. There's far too much Hollywood junk out there that I refuse to view — even if Hollywood paid me to do so.

Since they serve alcohol they should just call themselves a bar - which just happens to show movies.

Shouldn’t blind people be able to drive? And deaf people be able to go to a concert? These type of activities should be banned until we find a way to make it fair for everyone

We have a nice little theater as well that shows second run but not yet on DVD movies for half price. Every week they have a kids movie where the under twelve crowd gets in free and the adults pay two bucks.

The staff is polite and professional, the place is clean and while the concessions are outrageous their reward program is such that you generally get a free beverage or popcorn every couple of visits.

I hope FedGov doesn't spoil it.

I am in advanced stage Glaucoma and facing blindness soon. Consequently, I have been learning how to cope with blindness while I still have my sight. Just recently, I found a movie that I rented that relayed the action on the screen and was excited as I have listened to a movie, then watched it later to see what I missed. I missed much. The words often had an entirely different meaning when viewed with the action.

With that said, I never dreamed movie theaters would have headsets for me. If a theater in a town within traveling distance had a few screens out of the 14 that did, I would be thrilled to have the chance to attend a movie... any movie. I can’t imagine mandating theaters install the headsets on all screens and expecting all customers to pay extra to accommodate my disability. I wouldn’t expect all theaters to have any headsets for me, for that matter.

This Country has lost it’s “collective” mind. Purely and simply.

Last movie I saw on the big screen was “Star Wars III”, in Kenner, LA., a few months before Hurricane Katrina roared through.

My afternoon ticket was $8.00. My cup of coffee was $5.00, and that was just a cup of coffee, no Starbucks wowee factor. My nachos were $5.00.

I have had no compulsion to visit the movie theater, in the town across the river.

Won't effect me one bit. If it were up to me Hollywood would be a ghost town. I don't go to movies.I don't rent movies. I don't support the commies in Hollywood. Hollywood for the most part is a stinking sewer full of people like Tom Hanks....boycott Tom Hank's new movie....unless you don't mind giving your hard earned money to this Marxist, leftist Obama supporting moron.

Hollywood stars open wallets for Obama (Tom Hanks, George Clooney, Will Ferrell...
