Also airspace doesn't matter, on a Virgin flight they're on British soil (where gay marriage is also legal) until the wheels touch the ground. And even if that weren't the case any flight from the UK to the States is over Canadian airspace for a fair chunk of the flight, no need for the captain to waste thousands of pounds of fuel.

Virgin America is an American company with the Virgin name. Richard Branson can't legally own it since he isn't a US citizen. I only know this because I used to work in their call center.

moerketid posted:So whether this did or didn't happen, I just need to grump, who the hell takes a baby to a movie anyway? I don't know anyone who was taken to movies as a baby because hey there's really zero appeal for an infant in being held still for 2.5 hours in a dark room full of VERY VERY LOUD SOUNDS and little idea what the gently caress is going on. Just wait till they are a little older and can understand what's going on and aren't 90% guaranteed to annoy other filmgoers. Parents that go "AM I NOT SUPPOSED TO TAKE THEM ANYWHERE" are just irritating. Take your baby somewhere stimulating and age-appropriate that they might actually enjoy, for chrissake. Parents want to go see movies and are too busy/cheap to get a babysitter. Everything else is just justification. Toddlers get nothing out of a theater. If you really think they wanna see a Disney movie, buy it on DVD. They're too young to know if a movie is new or old anyways, who cares. I can't even stand grown adults making noise during a movie, much less babies. Why even bring a baby? That's just a dick move on the part of the parents. Its too bad it wasn't Mad Max though. I remember when I saw Spirited Away in theaters, a bunch of parents took their young children because its a cartoon so obviously its for little kids. As soon as the scene happened where the girls' parents get turned into pigs, like half the audience erupted in loud crying and had to be taken out of the theater. What the hell people. I don't even go to normal cinemas anymore because I can't handle that stuff. I'm not paying $20 to listen to a crying baby. I see movies at the Alamo Drafthouse or I see them at home on my big screen. And even the Drafthouse is going to hell in a handbasket lately, people talk all the time now and the servers do nothing. Its gone corporate. Sucks. AngryRobotsInc posted:Extra bonus, which I know because I make extensive use of it, AMC is partnered with the Autism Society of America, for the Sensory Friendly Films program, where kids are allowed to make noise, the sounds aren't turned up as high, and the lights aren't turned down as low (and from a quick glance at the site, that AMC does participate). So even if it did happen, they would have specifically put themselves in a situation where their kid's vocalizations would be a problem. If the film is Tomorrowland like I assume, it played yesterday for the program (they generally show films through it once or twice a month). That's really cool though. But it also sounds like that's for kids older than freaking babies. StealthArcher posted:The term "breeder" at least to me seems to imply peerage. Can't really be peer to a mother you irrationally hate as a neckbearded dude. I think I've seen the term "breeder" used as a straight insult by gay people in like TV shows or something, but definitely not IRL because its really stupid.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7aFA0UjaPs This poo poo definitely didn't happen Shia Lebeouf says he was raped during his silent performance art piece. A woman whipped his legs, stripped him down, and raped him. He didn't stop her because.... art?  Also her jealous angry boyfriend waited outside along with hundreds of people. Oh but in a tweet later the producer clarified that they totally stepped in an stopped it from happening. Even though Shia said she just walked out at the end? Whoops. moerketid posted:Haha wow, this exact thing happened when I saw Spirited Away in the cinema, must be 2003?

One lesbian sex scene later my boyfriend and I were the only ones in the theater.

Not one mention of Watership Down? Saw that poo poo when I was six. Also who remembers that discussion we had (in I think the Irrationally Irritating thread) about being emotionally scarred after watching that one scene in Orca? It's about a killer whale, you know, like Free Willy! It's gotta be for the kids!

When I was a kid, Dumbo, of all things, scared me half to death. I had nightmares about elephants for years. My brother, two years younger than me, was completely unphased, but certain commercials terrified him. Both of us refused to even be in the room if The Grinch was on, which our parents found hilarious for some reason. What I'm saying, I guess, is that all kids are scaredy-cats in different ways.

Follow That Bird gave me nightmares, and made me terrified to look out my bedroom window at night. My lifetime blanket-as-magical-protection was probably 50% hiding from Miss Finch. I was also very freaked out by the Twin Beaks piece, though I don't feel as silly about that one. 'Cause that's freaky.

I was terrified by ET. I loved it while I was watching it, but once I got home I realized that in reality I wanted no part of an alien coming to my house. I had nightmares for a week about aliens showing up and wanting to live with me. quote:saw Black Swan at a matinee showing where the theater was packed with elderly folk that clearly thought they were just going to see a nice movie about ballet. Kinda feel like this qualifies for the thread, unless you live in some weird super conservative bubble place? I can believe one or two people, but the whole entire theater? People don't turn into fragile little flowers once they turn 70. When I went to see Book of Mormon, the audience was full of elderly people and not a single person walked out, not even when they started singing about raping babies and loving god right in the oval office. They even though it was funny and were laughing, if you can believe it of people who are so old. I went to see Black Swan with my mom (who is 69) and she didn't care about the lesbian sex. She was only mad because the whole time she was trying to figure out the "mystery" and she was wrong about everything.
