Memo to all Parents and Retirees

Preface:
- I like kids. And actually, kids tend to really like me! I think they're pretty darn cool to hang out with and then give back to their respective owners.
- I like old people. I enjoy speaking to them and learning from them

Parents, or in this case, Mom; just because you decide to go to the 12:10pm showing of The Departed, it doesn't mean you can join the 8 of us in theatre and then have your husband join us 2/3rds of the way through with your 4yr old kid. And why the hell did you have to sit 3 seats from me on the same row, when there are 8 people in the theatre, knowing full well you're bringing your %$#(@& son in there in a couple of hours??? The constant whispering to your son to be quiet, his constant little kid voice babbling about whatever was so annoying, i wanted to reach into the movie screen, grab DiCaprio's gun, and put a cap in your head too.

Retirees, or maybe I should call you, '3 ladies that meet in the theatre every Thursday and talk through the movie because you think you own it". When I turned around and kindly asked you, from 4 rows in front of you, if you could stop commenting about the movie for everyone to hear, I was being polite. Next time, I'll use the words they used in the movie, before I put a cap in your head too.

What's the matter with people?

Drafthouse. They'll take their noisy asses out.

What in the hell is a 4 year old doing at a movie like that? That's what I want to know...

Your vacation is really going downhill - first you got woken up from your midday nap. And now old ladies are talking during your afternoon movie. BASTARDS!!!

But I agree with Amanda, a 4 year old doesn't need to see a movie like this.

that 4 yr old now knows words i didn't even know existed until 5 yrs ago.
Yes, I lived a sheltered life in the parrish.

I wanted to bust caps in people's heads after I saw the Departed too!

Can't remember who or what they did to annoy me, but I remember using that exact phrase the day after the movie...and I never say that.

I prefer, "screw you" usually.
