Not gonna bother with the first part because I made my point clear.

 

Do you think the pool has no rules? Let’s say a kid runs at the pool on the diving board, face plants and gets a nose bleed. Should we remove all diving boards from the town because one kid broke the rules?

I'm a fan of collective punishment personally, after my theater opened after Covid once we actually started getting new movies we'd have mosh pits basically every weekend to the point we had to move our curfew from 9PM to 6PM, if you aren't 17 with an ID you need a parent, no your 18 year old sibling isn't your parent. If you try to come in without a parent you don't make it past the ticket taker. If you don't ask for a refund within 15min of the movie time on the ticket you are SOL, if you are trying to watch an R-Rated movie without a parent you are SOL. And it's worked great, went from having to call the police and an ambulance every weekend to not having to do it a single time since.

guys who shove fistfuls of popcorn into their mouths, letting half the kernels miss and drop onto the floor between the seats: yeah personally I think the Minions teens are very disruptive

We had a few roving groups of like 50 kids each, whenever they came into contact with eachother a fight happened.

This most likely happened only once (if at all), and it was like 5 kids that pushed each other around a little. And it probably happened on your day off too.

I think the worst theater experience I had was during the screening of The Nun (which was shit anyways) had a couple fucking somewhere in the theater. It’s kind of (in addition to other shit in that theater) why I dislike going to the only IMAX in my state. I don’t think Minions raves are as disrupting as that.
 

I am sympathetic as the pandemic took a lot from everyone especially teens and young adults. And even then we all did very stupid things in teenhood and young adulthood. I just think it’s kind of extra doing shit like throwing food or starting mosh pits, and I can understand why parents would be annoyed but it’s a very small group of people doing it.

 

I think it’s very unfair and ridiculous to discount the majority from having fun in suits when it is obviously a very small minority ruining it for everyone. And I think it’s dumb to have that rule in place due to a few dumbass TikTokkers.

Not every theater is doing this. Theaters which have had these particularly bad experiences are likely doing it because there isn't really a great way to get this under control without casting a wide net. 

 

I don't even get how the pandemic factors into this. It's not like the pandemic suddenly makes people not know that throwing food around in a public place is not acceptable.

I was there 4 of the times it happened, the last time, which is when we moved the curfew up was the day after Christmas. Parents would just drop off a shit ton of kids at the mall for the Day and when the malls curfew came into effect at 6 they came to our theater across the street.

Also, kids have gone to the theaters in volume in the last year. It's not as if this was the first film re-opening. Everyone knows the rules of the theater. It's common manners and being polite.

After seeing how big the GentleMinion meme was, I can imagine a Shrektlemen trend would be HUGE.

lots of them do, actually. Just because diving boards require more insurance.

maybe there's some sacred "don't cross the streams" vibes going on there.

Kind of like how WDAS and Pixar aren't allowed to collaborate.

so you have to ask for a refund before the trailers end?
