Having been to Ossining? I'm pretty sure this is the most exciting thing that ever happens there.

I live close by, and I'm pretty sure that would be exciting here, as well.

Why is she going to all the way to Hawthorne to see movies if she lives in Ossining?

Who peed in her popcorn?

They're right by each other, really, and the Hawthorne theatre gets the movies the Greenburgh one doesn't.

Both beat trying to park in White Plains.

serpent_sky: hey're right by each other, really, and the Hawthorne theatre gets the movies the Greenburgh one doesn't.

I would head to Lake Mohegan or Jefferson Valley.

She's probably ex-Scarsdale, though, so everything north of 287 is Injun country.

/will cornflakes work?
//yes thats mine :-D

I just came here to say: fark silverfish.

That is all.

And cancer? Did she cure cancer?

Can I get a second amen on eliminating Hamptons asshats?

Amen.

Now get out of my way before I run you down with my Mercedes SUV!

...and those douchebags from the Cloverfield trailer.

WTF is a silverfish and should I be afraid?

/ not in NY

I think she has a valid point. After she wins this one, maybe she could get some kind of law passed that the theaters would have to refund part of the admission price to compensate the patrons for watching something that they didn't pay to see.

If you have books or precious papers......... um yeah.

/Fugabuncha loud movies and ALSO fugabuncha loud boom boom cars and just fugabuncha the rest of you that can't figure how to stay off of my lawn mowed ears!

your tax dollars at work!

Let's declare war on people who declare war on things. Most of them wouldn't know a real war if it ran up and blew a load of shrapnel up their ass.

if you dont like loud movie theaters..dont go to them.

I don't.

JeffMD: if you dont like loud movie theaters..dont go to them.

I don't.

No. You really should look into some real facts.

It seems like many of you in the Fark community are the same "fark the future" crowd who blast their iPods so loud that people can hear them 20 feet away, even though you're wearing earbuds. You're the people who are going to be stone deaf by 45-50.

I've been in theaters where the volume literally caused pain in my ears. Do you ever notice how performers wear earplugs at concerts? That's because they are smarter than their idiot fans.

Feel free to go deaf, but don't try to take everyone else with you.

Sometimes you have to do what you can, subby. This cliche makes the faulty assumption that fixing all those problems would require the same level of effort as fixing this one. If you could take a minute out of your day to wave your hand and make the world a slightly better place, wouldn't you?

Uh, it's just common sense for artists to wear earplugs. When you're playing a show every other night, you're going to suffer hearing damage if you don't have protection, whereas their fans will only be exposed to that loudness for one night, and so the damage will be minimal.

/still, good idea to wear earplugs if you go out to concerts frequently

Damn you guys live close to me. I do prefer Greenburgh. On a totally unrelated subject I'll be at Cortland lanes tonight though.

/lives where Millwood/Kisco/Chappaqua meet

I, for one, welcome our silverfish overlords!

Galef said that while at a recent movie at the All Westchester Saw Mill Multiplex in Hawthorne, she noticed how much louder the commercials and previews for upcoming films were than the actual film itself.

"This is not good for the eardrums, and it doesn't need to be this loud," she said.

Sounds like a valid point to me. She'd get even more support if she set her sights on banning commercials before movies, period.

Yes, I already can't hear half the dialog over the douchebag teenagers talking and texting, let's turn it down!

Wow, my hometown, and one of my former neighbors making Fark.

/Lives in Croton now
//Prefers Cortlandt to Hawthorne
///Used to deliver her newspaper when I was a kid

I'd have picked a HERO tag for this article. The theaters squeeze us for $10 minimum for a movie ticket, and then bombard us with ads played at insane volume levels. Then the movie starts and the volume is too low, the lights in the theater are too high, and the film is dusty and scratched.

ChubbyTiger: And cancer? Did she cure cancer?

Unlikey, since that has not recently had a slightly annoying impact on her life.

WayToBlue: Yes, I already can't hear half the dialog over the douchebag teenagers talking and texting, let's turn it down!

Yes, you need my little friend - the pocket cell phone jammer.

I can shut down the little bastards within about 20 feet. Runs about 3 hours.

// whine whine There's no coverage in here!

FTA:Galef said that when she brings her grandson to the movies, he brings along his own earplugs.

"He kind of rebels to the noise," she said.


Then leave the snowflake at home ya dumb broad. Or wait until its on DVD and adjust the farking volume yourself.

HalonChilled: Damn you guys live close to me.

Not anymore, sorry.

YOu need to switch theaters. Most are digital now, thus no scratches at all. But if a theater is still using reels or platters and hand splicing, the film quality is only going to be as good as the handling from the previous theater that had it.

I take ear plugs to the movies. I won't go without them. And my hearing is fantastic and will be for as long as I live.

have not been to a movie theater for many years....and the number one reason...THEY ARE NOT LOUD ENOUGH...my sound system at home delivers much louder and realistic sound without kids or $17.00 popcorn

I wish she'd declare war on high ticket prices instead.

I can rent two movies and see it with all my friends for the price of a single admission.

Actually a Federal Law already exists. They are in the OSHA regulations. Unfortunately it is utterly impossible to be in compliance as many of the regulations are mutally exclusive.

Some guys named Fletcher and Munson would like to talk to you in a few years.

WHAT?!?!?!

Don't you think it's ironic that you can never hear shiat when you're watching the bootleg copy?

Why do people go to movie theaters anymore?

Features that do not start anywhere near on time, over pricing of everything, poor fare, shameless advertisements, ill behaved patrons (ring ring) and now I'm told I shall go deaf.

Did I miss anything?

I could give a rat's ass about the movie sound levels. I actually find it amusing =)

However, she really hasn't fixed the whole Hamptons asshat thing. Now THAT'S something that needs to fixed!!!

\Used to live in the Hamptons for 5 years.

\\\They stay rich b/c they're cheap farks!!!!

I want to declare a war on senseless war declarations.

How about we just declare war on people who make a lot of noise during the movie?

If only these people took the energy used on these piddly crap bills and put them toward something important.

Time Traveler: Don't you farktards understand they have to be extra loud so you can hear them in the lobby while you are buying $17 popcorn!!

I would be simultaneously listening to 9 other films.

What grates me about theaters isn't the noise, it's asshats that park all their garbage in the seats in front of them to make others think they're occupied so that they can have a clearer view.

/have been known to sit on their stuff anyway if it's at capacity

Propz to the subby for dropping "silverfish" in the headline. +100 zenny coin for the submitter!!!

/i lol'd

I bring earplugs when I go because the movie companies think LOUDER means better. I can hardly hear dialouge, but then get blown out by the car chase/explosions.
/Yup, get off my Lawn.

FunkOut: Let's declare war on people who declare war on things. Most of them wouldn't know a real war if it ran up and blew a load of shrapnel up their ass.

Good idea, hell....GREAT IDEA! I have zero tolerance for the zero tolerance crowd too.
