Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Yeah, I've heard some noisy kids in movies before. And that's fine if it's Secret Life of Pets or something. You expect kids to be in the theater for that, it's part of the experience. But I've seen kids in the most inappropriate movies before. I remember there was like a 5 or 6 year old right in front of me when I saw 30 Days of Night. I specifically remember an extremely violent decapitation by ax scene in that movie. That's some fu#ked up shit for kids that age.
Yeah, I'll never understand bringing babies to the theater. That just wouldn't even be fun and then you'd know you're just annoying everyone else there.
I love the new reclining seats, being a big guy, it makes for the most comfortable theater experience I've ever had.
The seat reservation thing can be a problem if you're not planning ahead and going for a kind of spur of the moment decision. The new reclining seats are bigger and take up more space, thus there are fewer seats available, thus you essentially have to order seats an hour or two in advance, especially on weekends. Still I'd take the new seats over the old ones any day.
Most of the other things, as others have pointed out, aren't new. The cell phone thing is the worst.
