Movie theaters

I am a movie fan. I like going to the movies with family and friends. But I have noticed a problem or two.
One being kids. Kids seem to have little respect for anyone around them, especially in large groups. They are immature, loud, and overall annoying. These kids kick your seat, yell, throw things, and other generally obnoxious behaviors.
I think that all movies should have an age limit with or without adults/ guardians/ parents. For instance at the movie Hills Have Eyes 2. I don't want to see a group of 12 year olds sitting in the back with an adult beside them watching them. No one adult can control 6 12 year olds, I'm sorry it just ain't happenin'.
Another similar problem is babies. They cry all of the time. Any action, horror, or even some kids movies have several scenes in which there is a surprising part. 99% of the time the baby starts crying.
Also during the movie the baby is trying to talk to its parents and they do little to nothing to hush it. Tonight I saw Spiderman 3 with my father. We sat next to a man and his daughter. The little girl was probably between 12-24 months old. During the entire movie she talked. Eventually my father told the girl to be quiet politely and the father got defensive. He told my father to never shush his daughter and my father told him he would get the manager and the man told my father to get the manager. My father was the bigger man and just turned towards the screen and sat quietly.
I have a solution however. I propose all movie theaters be required to have daycares for young children. I know it is hard for some people to find babysitters and still insist on going to the movies anyways. Kids have short attention spans, it is just a fact.

Thus concludes my rant. Have a smashing day!

This is so true. I went to go see Disturbia and the little kids talked and then when the scary parts came to play, they gasped and screamed for a minute and then they had to talk about it right after. It gets really annoying. I agree with the whole day-care thing, but it is hard to do. (Permit wise)
