Movies and TV I have never walked out of a movie but I came damn close today - RANT - Page 7

**pr_capone** · 02:00 PM

Went with the missus to see Indiana Jones.

What a worthless pile of elephant shit.

The first 10 minutes of the movie had both of us thinking that it *MUST* have been some sort of dream sequence or Prof. Jones doing a movie about his exploits or some such.

No... it was actually part of the movie.

Dialog was terrible, every cliche you have ever heard of is used in the film, the CGI was BLEH, and the script must have been originally written as fan fucking fiction.

After the movie, I went to the counter and asked for my money back.... got it too.

We stayed only because we thought that there was no possible way a movie by Lucas, Spielberg, and Ford would suck that hard. We were WRONG.

For me to take advantage of someone, I would have had to have them at some sort of disadvantage. It was quite the opposite! They already had my money, I had already purchased and consumed the concessions, and had every right to tell me no!

Of course they did what most managers will do that do not have a spine.. They get you out of the store quickly as possible to not create a scene.. You could have been the guy that is told 'No' gets loud and starts causing a scene..

Big difference.

I took advantage of no one. I did nothing wrong. I felt that I was not given my moneys worth so I asked if they would take care of me.... and they did.

Had they not, I would still have attended their theater for future movies and would have held no animosity towards them.

So the movie theatre diluted your movie??? Is this your example??

If the movie theatre were to have the picture keep going out or the sound going out then you would get a refund/another ticket from the theatre because it would be there fault.. But you just not liking the movie IS NOT a valid reason for wanting your movie back..

Ah.... I see where I went wrong then.

I should not have asked because the manager obviously had no spine and thought I might create a scene in a theater lobby with police who are always in the theater.

So the reason I was dishonest then was because I spotted this guy out and knew he would be an easy mark, then took advantage of the situation.

brilliant

Give it up man. The gigs up. We're all wise to low lifes like you. Now crawl back under the rock you came from and go back to selling expired medicines to third world countries or whatever scam you happen to be running right at the moment.

Look, I'm not going to argue with you about the morality of your choice.

You made the choice to ask for a refund but for some reason decided to share it in this forum. The overwhelming majority of people disagree with your decision to ask for a refund after viewing the entire movie.

Why are you continuing look for support and to rationalize your decision?

Feeling guilty?

Are you dense?

In my analogy, the company providing the service was at no fault.... same as the theater.

So, I reiterate... would you deal with the company who provided the service or would you be calling and writing to Vulcan Chemicals who provided the lawn service with the diluted product?

I can almost guarantee that you would deal with the service provider... as would anyone else.

Not at all... you asked questions and made accusations. I am merely responding.

I was thinking about selling siphoned gasoline for .30 cents per gallon under what the gas stations are selling it for.

Want in??? I could always use an extra set of eyes for when I use stolen credit cards to get gas out of the pumps!

It appears that you're dense.

You went to a movie theater.

You watched an ENTIRE movie.

YOU decided you didn't like it.

THEN you asked for a refund.

That's bullshit and you know it.

If you walked out after 10 minutes that's different. If you walked out after 20 minutes, that's different. If you walked out after 30 minutes, that's different.

YOU waited more than 2 HOURS. 120 minutes.

Douchebaggery, at its finest.

I hope you're proud of yourself.

Keep deflecting and only answering what you want..

I am glad how you added the word dishonest in there because I never said anything about being dishonest.. Damn those Freudian slips.. I just think you did a bitch maneuver for making the movie theatre give you coupons for something that was not their fault...

But you keep on.. Your awesome..

I would be calling the chemical company if it was proven to be their fault.. Most people with brains would do this..

Would you rip off the kid delivering your newspaper or ask for a free month if you were not happy with the paper??? Well actually we know that answer..

Quite. The theater and I are on great terms and they will continue to have my patronage.

As I said on page 2 or 3, there is another theater that I could go to where I pay $3.50 less per ticket than at this one. Despite that, I will continue to go to the one I went to today because the service at this one is by far superior to the cheaper theater.

I guess I would take advantage of rubes also if I were you... Going to try for free pop and popcorn next time after you finish it all??

Great. I'm sure they look forward to servicing you in the future.
