There's this book (that I'm not remembering the name of right now) that talks about this stuff. Actually, it started with the generation that came out of the 60so, I blame it on the drugs and free love. :PAndrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-40745043722183591362011-08-09T19:27:57.926-06:002011-08-09T19:27:57.926-06:00Ellie, I'm glad they quieted after you talked ...Ellie, I'm glad they quieted after you talked to them. I did, in fact, say something to this woman, as did one other person. She completely ignored us. Short of throwing something at her, she wasn't going to pay attention. Grrr. People will often stop once someone says something to them, though. Just not her. Blech.<br /><br />Yvonne, I'm glad you enjoy them at home. I do, also, for the most part. Thank goodness for that, at least!<br /><br />Andrew, I'm inclined to agree. The lackluster parenting I've seen has been truly horrifying. What happens when they all grow up? Oh yeah...this. And probably worse. I could go off on a whole different rant about that and related issues, that is for sure.Shannon Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934641808195675935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-71052963807526713682011-08-08T17:17:16.590-06:002011-08-08T17:17:16.590-06:00Studies are showing that the new iGeneration is mu...Studies are showing that the new iGeneration is much more self-centered than previous generations. I think this caries right on into theaters. We had and experience with an iGeneration female at Deathly Hallows 2. I've never seen someone so rude in a theater before. She was clearly only concerned with herself.<br /><br />In conjunction with that is the newer belief that we should allow children to figure out their own way of doing things and how to behave. Which just becomes an excuse to not do the difficult job of applying discipline to child rearing.<br /><br />I don't think things will get better soon.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-68606438975271623722011-08-08T08:04:03.099-06:002011-08-08T08:04:03.099-06:00My Mother and myself weekly went to the cinema and...My Mother and myself weekly went to the cinema and enjoyed it very much.<br />The I met the love of my life and I continued to go with him before and after we wed. Whe I was expecting my second child we went to the cinema and saw one of these flashing light films, it put me off of the cinema and I haven't been back since.......that was 43 years ago. I expect cinemas have changed in that time but I am quite content to see the films on TV or dvd.<br /><br />Have a lovely day.<br />Yvonne.RHYTHM AND RHYMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11386975261804630799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-64216518159457125472011-08-08T06:45:58.167-06:002011-08-08T06:45:58.167-06:00I must show this post to my other half as he was a...I must show this post to my other half as he was a projectionist for two local cinemas.<br /><br />You are quite right about there being a change in the last few years, and we have both been shocked by the behaviour of some cinema-goers. In one instance a group were making so much noise I went and said something to them. They soon shut up!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.elliegarratt.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Ellie Garratt</a>Ellie Garratthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03731071128348213067noreply@blogger.com
