Hello!! O.k, so no I haven't disappeared yet again on you guys, but last week was eventful since, my In-Laws decided to come for an entire week for a much needed family vacation in my neck of the woods.
It was a roller coaster, with up's & down's, but overall we all had an enjoyable experience.
Except for Friday...
On this day, we decided as a family to finally go see Avengers: Endgame in theaters. So, my husband, along with my MIL, FIL & daughter (and I of course) headed to the movies.
In advance, we reserved our tickets, with reserved seating (it was an IMAX theater) and off we went. We decided that we would do one of the last showings just because we already knew that it was a 3 hour long movie, so, we were o.k with that. The movie theater was not full (due to maybe time, etc). So, we went up, took our seats and prepared to be wowed.
Nope, we got annoyed.
We had noticed that in our same row, there was another small group of patrons that had already been seated, but I noticed that in particular they had a small child with them (about 1-3 year old). But again, I really didn't think much of it because I was naive at the time.
Movie starts, and guess who starts too? Yup, the 1-3 year old crotch goblin. She starts laughing, asking for her Momma, going up and down the stairs, singing, it was just too much.
And most of the time, my family, is trying and I mean TRYING to ignore little crotch goblin over there and concentrate on the movie.
Everyone knows that this movie is LOONG, and it is a culmination of 10 years of story telling and fans being genuinely invested in these films. But I, with the rest of my family, had to strain to listen to Tony Stark, because there was so much noise coming from this little human.
At one point, when the movie started to get more intense, this child reacts appropriately and starts to cry. But not the silent crying, she's WAILING.
And what do the adults do in this situation? NOTHING, they don't get out of the movie theater, they sit there trying to hush her up.
It was really REALLY frustrating.
Now, at a certain point I look over at this party at the other end of the same aisle (along with my family and other patrons) and all I get is this snarky remark "SHE'S A BABY."
And, I swear I was about to start something right there and then.
YES, you are correct, SHE IS A BABY, she has no idea what is going on, nor does she care about this film, and was dragged there by YOUR (the parents') inconsiderate ass. It's not like she got on her crotch goblin butt, took her parent's keys and drove her little butt down to the movie theater, YOU did.
I was fuming at this point, but I also didn't want to make a scene for everyone else in there.
Now, to clarify, I love children, I have a crotch goblin of my own, but there was a point in time when my kid was at that same age, and guess what? For those years I didn't stepped into a movie theater because I knew that she wasn't going to enjoy it, I wasn't going to enjoy it, and OTHER paying customers wouldn't have enjoyed hearing MY kid screaming her lungs out.
And I think this is what really grinned my gears, was the lack of consideration for OTHER patrons and the bitch-y ass attitude of their "response."
If you don't have anyone to babysit your rugrat, then wait until it comes out on DVD/Blu-Ray, RED BOX it, but please for the love that all that's holy, DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILD TO MOVIES YOU KNOW THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO HANDLE!!!
So, I wish I could have brought you my review about Endgame, but between having to deal with trying to ignore the screaming toddler and trying to focus on the movie, it's a miracle that I didn't punch anyone at the movies.
And no, I am definitely not mad at the movie theater or the movie, for what I could appreciate it was amazing! So, satisfying (for me) the way they did it, really brought closure to a mega-event that has never occurred before in the history of cinematic story-telling.
I only wish that I could have enjoyed it without a screaming toddler and her inconsiderate parents.
We're planning to go see it again at the theaters and hopefully this time we will be able to enjoy it without any intrusive background noises.
