I sure hope these kids stop dressing up and screaming at Minions by the time Thor: Love and Thunder hits theaters July 8th. I don't want them to interrupt me dressing up as a cartoon character and screaming at references.

People are dressing up in full suits to watch Minions: Rise of Gru
- Thread starter Blackbird
- Start date
I have never seen a minion movie but I gotta admit that as an older millennial I don't get the joke.
Because some people are literally speed running becoming just as jaded and insufferable as our parents generation were towards any and everything we did. It's a bit sad to see really. I suppose every generation thinks they will be different, but when I read these threads about harmless stuff like this I'm just like "Nope, we didn't skip it, a lot of us really did adopt those boomer traits". 😂
Joe Biden is too old to be a boomer. Boomers were born 1946 - 1964. He was born in 1942.
I know it's not that relevant for this thread but calling people born during the WW2 boomers is a pet peeve of mine. Also see every thread about Scorsese during the past few years.
It's pretty clear 'boomers' for a lot of people has just become synonymous with old and out of touch, not specifically baby boomers.
Yeah, definitely. Just pointing that I'm not exactly picking out the color of the daisies for my grave just yet, like that other poster seems to think. :P
Hey if the cinema have experience of people ruining trade for others then more power to them.
That's why I wrote 'like'. It was just a short hand for 'people that are of an age probably not posting here' who are called boomers itt. I didn't look up Biden's exact age.
The whole name baby boom comes from the fact people had a lot of children after WW2 to try and make up for the huge loss of life too.
Wait, are they causing a ruckus in the theaters trying to annoy people?
Just wearing suits to the cinema is pretty neat though, I ain't got no issues with it.

I wanted to say this looked pretty funny and harmless but if some groups were being extremely rowdy and obnoxious during the film and causing trouble for the staff, then that's crossing the line. The poor people in the audience who just came to watch a film with their kids probably never coming back and sticking with streaming from now on, which sucks. The movie theater should be able to be enjoyed by everyone in the audience, not just the ones who want to partake in some meme.

Dressing up and steepling hands = Fun
Whooping, hollering and screaming ironically at everything = Shitty
Only gut-reactions are okay in cinemas (genuinely laughing etc).

Wonder how many folks turn their noses up at late-night screenings of The Room and wish they could see it in a laid back, quiet environment instead.
I'm not for ruining children's experiences of a kid's movie by being totally obnoxious or wrecking the theater so the staff has to work even harder to clean up a massive mess (spoon throwing aside, of course) but, like, come on. If a hundred kids in suits take up a whole screening of a Minions movie themselves, who is that hurting? If a dozen or so show up, dressed to the nines, and don't completely ruin the showing for the young kids in the crowd, why get all high and mighty and cry foul about it?
The world fucking sucks, y'all. Let these kids have some dumb fun.

There's a huge difference between seeing a new movie in the cinema, and going to limited viewings of cult classics. If you go and see Rocky Horror or The Room at a midnight showing, you are 99% sure what you're signing up for. With new movies, you sign up for seeing the movie.
Eh, if you want to dress ironically going to a children's movie with some of your fellow teenagers, that's fun I guess. If you're dressing up and descending on a theater like a swarm of locusts being obnoxious during a movie, then you're an asshole. I guess that stands for anybody really, dressing up or not. Its just the age old truth that as the size of the pack of teenagers increases the higher the likelihood of douchebaggery increases in kind.
There were kids in suits and goofy-ass grins at our showing. They were blissfully silent until the credits rolled. My son loved it.
Because Gen Xers and Millennials need reminding about Grandpa Simpson antics.
This is pretty much my stance as well. It's a fairly funny joke, and if you don't disturb anyone I'm all for it.
If you are loud and obnoxius about it there is honestly a pretty decent chance that you are actually frightening the six year olds that are the intended audience, and that would make you a piece of shit in my book.
This was my original thought but the video posted a few posts above shows that they were in fact being incredibly disruptive and some people were throwing bananas.
(At least in that specific showing.)
This should probably be added to the OP. Blackbird
If other theaters were this bad then yeah, that's unacceptable.
Streisand Effect. They're going to get like 2-3x more people who show up with formal attire under their clothes arriving in different groups now.
Took my daughter to see this on Friday night, and there where quite a few large crowds of teens in suits and dress shirts walking about… there were a bunch in the showing we went to…
They didn't cause a fuss or anything… also I thought they would have been dressing up as the minions…

I'm dressing up in full Morbius attire when I go see Minions.
A Venom-verse Marvel movie about an anti-hero vampire. It became a meme after someone came up with "It's Morbin' Time" (which is not actually said in the movie).
