Personally I like going to see movies in a theater. I even run a little movie group. We go out and talk over food , then hit up a movie. It's a nice night out. I don't want to see them go away entirely. The theater I go to is independent and the people who run it are cool. They gave my group a free tour of the projection area where they not only have new projectors but some old equipment they preserved. Fun fact: the bulbs got so hot that they could be dangerous and a special leather vest was worn whenever they worked on the projector in case it exploded.

The group only goes on Tuesday nights because the movie is $5.00. so yeah, in a time when everything is so expensive it feels like you can't do anything, I understand to complaints. Tipping is like that too. It's gotten out of hand.

But honestly, this is nothing new. I'm pretty old and it's been this way for as long as I can remember. But calling the cops? Come on! The stupid thing is, movie theaters survive mostly on regulars like me and that woman. She'll probably never go back there again. So they're just shooting themselves in the foot.
