At least he isn't screaming and sobbing in one of the theaters
10:30 showing of "Saving Private Ryan". RIGHT BEHIND ME. Babe in arms, and about a 4 year old. C'mon people. IT"S A WAR MOVIE! It was a week or so after opening, and all the reviews were talking about how graphic the first scene is and all. CRAZY!
I was at a midnight showing of Hannibal. You know, the movie about a serial killer that eats people. There was a family behind me. Baby was asleep, there was a 4 or 5 year old. He kept saying "mommy, I'm scared" and she said "just close your eyes" I'm thinking Jesus it's scarier with the music and the sound effects with no visuals.
I was there when a guest tried to call the cops on another guest who was watching Hannibal with his toddler. Unfortunately the police did not think it was an arrestable offense.
Also, crying baby during a late showing of Dracula. Usher came up to talk to the parents, they said "oh, she'll quiet down in a minute", and wouldn't leave. Nothing they could do. I got my money back. I also told them that they needed to have a policy of no children in R rated movies after 9.
There are some local theaters that charge full price for infants( child's price, I believe). Too many parents were letting there kids cry and driving paying customers out.
Buffista advice needed. So I'm supposed to meet someone I met on match for the first time this week. I'm at that awkward stage in beard growth where I can either shave it all off or start laying the template for the goatee. I'm not sure I should change things up so close to a first meeting. Plus you know, half-tee are a little weird lookin.
When I went to see "Phantom of the Opera" years ago, there was a four year old sitting right in front of me with his parents. As soon as the music started he jumped in his mother's lap and never stopped crying. They never left the theater, and at intermission they turned to us laughing and said, "Don't worry, we'll glue him to the seat for the second act".
For Comparison
You handsome devil, you!
You look good both ways, but I'd give the nod to clean shaven.
If you can't get away with the Don Johnson Miami Vice scruffy at this point, then go clean-shaven.
Yeah, I agree. It's a hard call. You look younger sans goat. But I like goatees on men, so take that for what it's worth.
