Bad behavior at 'Barbenheimer' reflects a worrying trend

15. I mean, you go into a PG-13 movie you're just begging

to see someone's naughty bits

I have always attended a lot of movies. The theater for me is practically home away from home. I love the movie-going experience and will continue to buy tickets until either I die or the practice itself dies. Having said that, I have witnessed a few bad apples over the years. One rowdy incident during Oceans 13 springs to mind. But, there are ways to mitigate your chances of suffering fools such as that. Avoiding weekend matinee showings (noisy kids) and evening showings (noisy drunks) is a good start. Also, I tend to go see more serious, art house movies and avoid the blockbusters at the Googleplex, saving them for cable/streaming. If I do decide to see a big-budget mainstream film, I go to the earliest showing possible and during the week.

There's still the occasional asshat with their phone, but most of the other problems are not present.
