The washroom is pretty f-ing sweet.

Actually, I've been theorizing with tami as to whether or not the female lifers got their own bathroom since they wouldn't want to share with us guys.

Most lawyers don't work on weekends. Just wait til Monday.

I dunno, my dad does occasionally, and I know some other lawyers that do. Especially on something like this, you'd think that one person in the crowd must be personal friends with a lawyer and has something ready to be filed with the courts tomorrow when they open. The article makes no mention of it at all which is somewhat surprising.

I don't recall any females but I stopped going a while ago. I just use the potted plants.

I'd be suing for millions the very next day. No class action stuff. Hit the projector, the manager, the maker of the film for not putting safeguards on the dangerous emotionally damaging film, the projector manufacturer for not having protection/safeguards.

This is an open and shut case.

agreed. the movie theatre staff was completely negligent.

Negligent? Sure. But they resolved the dispute appropriately, and these people don't deserve anything else.

i don't know. A 4-6 year old kid watching this can be traumatizing. I really do not know what i would do in that situation. I know high management of the place would remember my name for all the times i called.

I don't think so. They screwed up these kids for life and need to pay accordingly.

I've never been a supporter of suing anybody, but I am in this case. Maybe because its kids.

If they screwed the kids up for life. I doubt the kids are screwed up for life. They'll probably forget about it before too long if their parents don't overreact and turn it into more of an ordeal than it was.

Exactly why I wondered how many of them stayed for the feature presentation following the mini-feature. I bet the ones who stayed to watch Chicken Little will be much less affected than those who left.

"It's pandemonium,"
I almost spit my diet pepsi all over the screen reading that.

But boy I sure wish my kid was at that movie...then I could retire at 30.

there should not have been a need to reach a resolution to begin with. you pay $10.50 to go see a movie in new york. there shouldn't be any screw-ups.

My Brother -in-law manages a theatre, Since the movies are all handspliced (they come on like three - four rolls) how would this happen?

There could easily have been more than on film built on the platter set.

Moron manager threads up the wrong print and away they go.
