I love babies so much. they are so cute and funny. But there are places that you shouldn't just bring your babies to. Im the type of person who doesn't mind babies on planes. In fact i tend to criticize the people who complain about babies on planes. but bringing your baby to the movie is unaacetable. leave the baby at with someone at home or wait for the movie to come out on DVD.

yesterday i went to see the dark knight rises for the first time (awesome movie by the way) and this woman sitting next to me had her baby. not only was the baby making gargling noises but she decided to pack a long the baby's musical toys. so everytime the baby would push any buttons some musical theme would start playing. then when the action started in the movie the baby started crying because of the loud noises (genuis of mother should have known you could harm your baby's ears that way).

so should there be some kind of rule on bring babies to movies? i mean bring kids is one thing because kids and can get into the movie and won't make noise. but babies on the the hand cannot.

i think babies should be banned from movies that are rated PG-13 and up.

People shouldn't bring their babies anywhere. Babies are gross and annoying. They should be put in a closet and have some food thrown in now and then until they grow up to be a respectable human being

I don't think babies should be brought to any public place at all, whether it be a movie theater, a restaurant, or any place where people are trying to socialize, relax and have a good time. They are loud, they are annoying, they are disruptive and they are messy. I actually consider it very rude and disrespectful, that people are so arrogant as to bring their screaming babies out and have little respect for the people around them.

So you can't find a babysitter? Tough. Then stay home. That's the price of deciding to become a parent.

I think people shouldn't bring babies to the movies, period. Out of curtesy. And I've heard people argue that parents with young children still want to have a social life, yada yada yada... Bullsh!t. If you've got a baby, you made the decision to be a parent. And anyone mature enough to be a parent knows that it comes with sacrifices. The least of which should be that just don't get to see movies in the theaters for a few years. As a rule of thumb, if the kid is still young enough that he/she is liable to start crying for no reason, and need to be taken outside, then he/she doesn't belong anywhere people go to do something that could be interrupted by said crying. That includes movie theaters, stage shows, and any restaurant that you can't call "fast food". If any parents out there disagree, the exact same counter can (and will) be used by me no matter what excuse you have for bringing your baby into the theater and ruining that last scene for everyone there. That counter is, "you have a kid. Grow up and deal with it."

Babies should not be brought to entertainment places. They aren't even at all level where they can know what's going on around them.

Hate. Either get someone to babysit or wait a couple months for the DVD. Bringing a baby to the movie theater is a really selfish thing.

Nay, especially in cases of non-G/PG movies and late showings. I can't ****ing stand it when some stupid parent brings their infant to a movie. It's worse than answering your cell phone.

If a baby interupts the movie with it's screaming and crying I feel ripped off. Hence why I decided to go late nights.

There is pretty much no reason what so ever to bring a baby to the theater. They can't watch/enjoy the film, and if you can't get a sitter, wait for the home release. Or, go to an event like the one a theater near me has where a few times a month they have "baby friendly" screenings solely for those people with babies.

The Dark Knight Rises was a late night and a couple brought their baby to the movie. Ends up the baby got shot and died. So any time is not safe, I'd prefer to watch movies at my house than go to a theatre :P

It was kind of bad to end that post with a ":P" but I meant that people will bring their noisy infants to late night viewings.

The movie theatre is not place for a baby, not only is it inconsiderate to the other people it's would also be too loud for a baby.

I had a manager kick out a woman and her baby when I went to see the second Transformers movie. Every god damn BOOM the baby cried out which was KABOOM every time a transformer or decepitcon appeared on screen. However If it was a pixar movie I'd of not gotten annoyed. Time and place. But this was in the U.S. where we are generally civilized.

Was in a Toronto theater in Canada to see Fight Club in 1999. I remember some poor bastard introducing the movie and a THOUSAND laser pointers and bags of trash landed on him. Very hostile country.

If it's daytime and a children's movie, children will be there, and babies will also probably be attending because offspring are often born within a few years of each other. When I want to see kids' movies, disney and whatever, I go in the evenings or on weekdays while school is in. That's fine and dandy. Babies at a non-child-aimed movie are another story. People who bring babies or small children to movies not intended for children are not getting any sympathy from me. Get a babysitter. If the kid wants to watch the movie, because for example he likes batman, you wait for the DVD and then watch it with him at home so you can explain what's going on and pause if necessary to explain to him. If some b*tch brought her kid's MUSICAL toys to a movie theater I would lose it. I would tell her people are told to turn their goddamn cellphones off, and you bring MUSICAL toys to a MOVIE? Especially one not intended for small children. Idiot. No respect for other people, obviously.

Babies should not be allowed in movies since they most likely don't enjoy it nor will they remember it and the people that have to listen to them cry most likely don't enjoy it either.

Parents really should accept that when you have kids, you have to get used to putting some things away for a long time, such as going out to see the movies.

Babies cry. Therefore, leave them at home whenever you are not doing something necessary (like watching a movie, going to a sit-down restaurant, etc).

Nay. I don't want to hear crying when I'm watching a movie. It's one one reason I don't see animated movies in the theaters much.

A baby on a plane is, for the most part, unavoidable. A baby in a movie theater is unacceptable and you have every right as a paying customer to tell them to shut that damn baby up.

I understand that sometimes it's unavoidable to have a baby on a plane. But babies on a plane, full of people going on holiday is just dumb.

1. The baby doesn't understand the pressure differences on it's ears, so it will cry.
2. The baby doesn't like to be at a location where it's 45C constantly, when it's not used to the heat.

People who take their baby on holiday to extremely hot places are just selfish. Their baby would be more happy at home.
It's just too much to ask to wait for another 4 or 5 years, until the child is old enough.

I think you were more annoyed by the baby disrupting the movie than the the idea of it being subjected to innapropriate content, be honest :P

Anyway, i think you shouldn't be able to bring a baby anywhere, they're fuking annoying.

They're cute/hilarious between the ages of 2 to about 4 but before and after that they may as well not exist

I agree it' s pointless to bring a baby to the movies. The parent won/ t enjoy the film and things are gonna be worse for all those strangers who don' t know the baby pesronally so they can easily hate it. Plus cute sounds and baby music themes just ruin the atmosphere of a film like batman. So yes rules should forbid babys in cinemas. Although I even hate more those disrespectful teenagers that make all sorts of pig noises cuz their a$$holes. No offence to all the normal "teenagers".

No. They are too young to watch movies and they can be a distraction to other people that paid to see the movie. No sitter....no movie.
