Now my daughter who wanted to “get outta here” is a new mom herself. I can’t wait for my grandchild to become a toddler so I can keep up the family tradition and go disrupt some 21st century flick in a couple years. Of course with the mobile phone use and our greatly coarsened culture of today probably no one will even be able to hear her :(
Ah, i have happy memories of getting tossed out of the Memrose by an usher back in the late 60s … my mom took me to my first movie (I think it was Snow White) here and i recall i was a vocal little embryonic film critic at the tender age of 3 :) . Even 49 years later i can still see in my mind’s eye his smart uniform and his flashlight.
Years later in a suburban multiplex no longer extant, across the river (which happily is still extant), i repeated the experiment with my two young daughters. This time it was the Little Mermaid. After 10 minutes, my younger daughter kept saying “I wanna get outta here!” so we did. Of course by then in the early 90s ushers were something you’d only see at a funeral anymore. Does anybody even know how to ush anymore?
