Movies and TV I have never walked out of a movie but I came damn close today - RANT - Page 9

**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.

Don't goto an opening...wait for the crowds and dust to clear. and actually get other opinions than the 'media' hype for the flick.

Damn, im going to try that for every movie that doesn't meet my expectations....pretty ridiculous on your part, you baby...

That manager was too soft, you were wrong

I wish i was the manager i would've given you a nice HELL NO...

The only time i got "coupons" back for a bad movie exp, was because the sound cut in and out and after 45 min of watching we left and told them of the problem and they gave us the coupons for another showing of any movie.

That paints a mental image of a pissed off guy being rude and demanding their money back from some spineless management.

There's a big difference between demanding and asking.

Which is why I edited my post.... I realized that demanded was too strong of a word.

while they may have given you passes to placate you, it's still a douchebag move.

You got everything you paid for...there were no technical difficulties, there were no screaming babies, there were no misrepresentations.

Just because the outcome came out in your favor does not mean you were in the right.

Personally, I'd rather be out the $14 than broadcast to anyone withing earshot that I'm a cheap-ass douche.

Maybe you should stick to the dollar theaters if you can't stomach paying $7 for a crappy movie.

Ding ding ding....we have a winner. This guy is a jerk...I blame his parents to a certain extent, but there comes a time where we all take responsibility for our choices and actions. He chose to go to the movies, watched, and then complained to the theater for providing him the opportunity to see a movie. I think I'd like to complain to his parents for creating a douche.

So PR Capone....what movie theater did you go to? I'm now going to go to that movie theater and watch an entire movie and every time say it sucked and ask for a voucher. If they say no, I will say that they are discriminating against me and that they let Mr. Capone do it. You could theoretically never have to pay for a movie again for the rest of your life. I could go to Ironman, claim that it was shitty even though I enjoyed it, and then come back and see Ironman 2. Great idea

Damn capone is getting destroyed. It's just a ****ing free pass coupon people.

I will be sure to let my mom know how you feel about her... to a certain extent.

LMFAO

It's ok. People here need something to fill the time in the off season.

Its a bully mentality... gang up and pick on something small and insignificant until it festers.

The rest of my background, upbringing, and contributions to society mean nothing since I asked for a refund for a shitty movie. lol

Its all good. Thanks for the post tho!

I really like the part about blaming your parents for your sense of entitlement. No stone left unturned on chiefsplanet.

Ha, yes.

I bust PR's balls as much as the next guy. I also had very little tolerance for what I considered were ethical violations by SCAG.

But I actually do see PR's point here. He asked with no expectations. The proprietor gave up nothing by giving him a return visit. If he got his $16 back, that would be one thing. He got something that cost the proprietor NOTHING.

As a proprietor myself, I'll give something away every day to keep a client happy as long as it didn't come out of my pocket.

If the proprietor is a willing participant, then what's the problem?

I applaud the theater for exemplary customer service. That's the silver lining in this story.
