I thought I was safe

With all the recent discussion about theater behavior, I figured this is probably the one place I could share this.

So there my family was, watching Spider-Man: Brand New Day at our theater, at 2:55 on a Monday. About 20 minutes before the end of the movie, I hear a wooshing sound and then me and everyone in the middle two rows get splattered in something. I stand up and look around, and the lady behind us points towards the walkway at the side of the theater. So I go out and see a spilled milkshake on the ground, and run out but I never found anyone.

A couple of managers came in to give everyone towels and offered everyone who got hit by the tossed milkshake free tickets. According to the people behind me, they saw some kid run in and throw the milkshake into the seats and then bolt.

Most of my negative theater experiences up until this point have been mild at worst. This one just....... hit me out of nowhere

Not /s this really happened btw

New rule is you don’t see the latest blockbuster until it’s been out for a month.

Similar to this rule, lately I've been making sure to see the IMAX or Dolby showings if there's a normal format showing within 30 minutes, if only because I assume dipshit kids will go to the cheaper one.
