Then there are these jihadi animals. They walk in, activate the detonator and off they go along with everyone in close proximity. You could have had a bazooka and you'd stil get nowhere. Why? Because that animal is already several steps ahead of you before you even notice him or her.

Nah. Large gatherings, movies etc. do not interest me at all.

I'll just park my rear end at home, kick my feet up, bust out some popcorn and enjoy!

Bingo, plus I can pause it, if nature calls, and there is no formal dress code. However Mrs. Jusme, does prefer my boxers not have visible holes. :biggrinjester:

Redbox has all the movie experiences I ever want to see. Some people in theaters have no respect for others around them, and I finally got tired of seeing all the cell phone screens lit up during the movies. I don't text or watch uTube when a good movie is on.

I can see it now, some miscreant walks into the theater fires one shot and six people draw and turn him into a bullet trap, Detective says so what happened here, patrol officer replies he picked the wrong theater!

I settle for a less dramatic movie experience and watch them on my 26-inch set, which is as big as will fit in the cabinet in our old entertainment center. I haven't been to a theater in years.

I go to a movie theater that allows CC so it's not a big concern. No more than a restaurant on the weekend or the downtown tunnels during business hours.

Sporting events are another story. The good guys are prohibited from carrying, so I stay far away from the killing fields.

Same here, the wife knows I won't go to theaters that post 30.06 and .07.
Don't go to a lot of movies anymore for all the rudeness reasons stated by others, although the wife and I have been twice in the last 10 days.

Alamo Drafthouse audiences are well behaved and that's the only movie theater I've been to in 2+ years.

Just don't go to an "Alamo for All" show by accident. :mrgreen:
