Kilted at the movies

[Big Paul]

Very good! On a recent trip to Kentucky I ran into the kentucky chapter of the Hell's Angel's... Yes the real deal!! They were all very polite..

I have found that most "Big Bad Biker Types" are nice friendly people!

I've been kilted at every movie I've seen in the past year. Never any problems, just the usual onlookers and snickering teenagers in front of the theatre. Usually one person per movie will say something along the lines of "nice kilt" or ask what tartan I am wearing.

Over all, I'd say it is of little consequence to wear a kilt to the movies.

I generally have more issues with the teenages who can't unglue the cellphone from their ear for the duration of the film than comments on my clothing.

Cool. I've met some cool bikers as well. And I've met some of 'evil' blackmetal people from Norway. They're also quite nice and down to earth, when not on stage... Appearances can deceive...

Anywho, is it really true that you have to get to the movies in good time in order to get good seats?

I just reserve a seat online (get a diagram of the hall, and click on the seat(s) you want)or by phone, that way I can walk in at 19:00 exactly (if that's the time the movie starts) without having to worry about a seat. It's standard procedure in all theatres I've been to here in the country.

All of the movie theaters I've been to in the United States have "general seating," which means one buys a ticket, walks in, and picks a seat.

In most cases, this means having to get there 15-20 minutes early to get a decent seat. On opening day, it might mean getting there 3-4 hours early to get tickets, let alone a seat.

Great story and great movie!

How was the film-as I might go to see it

What planet do you live on? I would have told those teenagers to either turn their phones of or watch them being dashed to pieces on the wall of the theater after I got the attention of everyone else in the place to watch.

Chances are that I'd get a standing ovation.

Movie theatres do seem to be a non-even for kilt wearing. Worse thing is that the fixed arm rests can make it difficult to do the sweep before sitting, but it still easier than on a plane.

Glad the movie was worth seeing. That is on our list. Can anybody let me know if a 3 and a 5 year old would enjoy it, or it is appropriate? A PM is fine.

Perhaps. In my part of the world, I'd likely get stomped in the parking lot after the show, by the teenager's buddies who took offense to my actions.

I rarely go to the movies in theaters any more.
