Reply to comment by dougc84 in Man the Bowtie is really speed running shutting down at this point. by fannypax

To be fair... Have parents ever taken responsibility for their kids at movie theaters? I was in middle school in the nineties, it was common to ditch the kids at the local Regal, and show back up after a couple of hours. By no means was that a new thing at the time.

The difference is in the 90’s, we went to watch the movie, not to fuck around for 6 hours.

Yeah. Like kids in the 90s never snuck into other movies, smoked in bathrooms, skateboarded the parking lots, got into fights, etc.

But we, at least, tried to stay out of the center of attention. Maybe we got a BJ during a movie or snuck off to smoke the broken cigarette you’ve been cautiously holding in your pocket. We weren’t getting groups of people together to beat people up. We weren’t messing up people’s property. We weren’t throwing candy at other people or talking through entire movies.

I don’t care what anyone does with their time so long as it doesn’t negatively affect others. And, sadly, the actions of nearly every teenager that I’ve ever seen at Bowtie proves that they are not responsible enough to do that.

The difference is, we didn't act like dicks about it. Acting like a dick would get your ass busted. Probably had families that gave a shit.
