R movie age restriction.

First let me start out by saying I almost never go to movies. Besides nothing good ever being on, the picture quality is horrible in most theaters. But my question is about getting into R rated movies. How hard would it to be just to buy tickets for one movie and see another if your are under aged? Why do they even bother selling tickets for individual movies?

whhhaaat??? The picture quality in all the theaters I have seen are good... Where do you live??? outside the US???

Really? Wow. Up here, it's just once, at the box office. And sometimes you can buy the ticket from a machine and they don't card you at all. Pretty slack, up here in Canada. :)

Forgot about the ticket machines. Been a long time since I've been to a regular old movie theater.

I go here. They card, but that's because of the beer. :D

Tulsa, OK. They still use analog, the screen flickers horribly, and it looks worse than 720p. They should make anything less than IMAX illegal. If I pay seven bucks I want it to be better than my own PC. It's like staring at a monitor running at 50Hz. I swear when I watched the movie about the snow dog I wanted to gouge my eyes out.

There has got to be at least one digital theater in Tulsa.

You haven't been to Oklahoma. If OSU and OU weren't there, that state would have died and withered long, long ago.

I've never had a problem buying tickets when I was underaged. Same goes for cigarettes and alcohol, actually. Maybe it has something to do with living in Europe. Ha.

Nah, they'd still have all their ****ty little casinos.

Oklahoma is boring. At least it's not crowded.

I think this thread title is a clever pun.

When read fast enough, it almost sounds like "Removie age restrictions."


VIVA LA LINKINPARK REVOLUTION.

Or not. They'd probably be too busy crying to revolt. Silly 15 year olds.

No it isn't. The theatre policy is that if you are under 17, you can't see a R rated movie. Once they buy the ticket, they break that policy, and we have the right to throw them out.

I don't agree with the policy, but that doesn't change it.

When I was 14, I passed as a college student. I still got carded at the theater. Even at age 16 I got carded. Since I hit 17, not once have I been carded. It isn't fair. Then again, since I turned 17, a theater that doesn't suck opened up near me.
Think while it's still legal.

the only woman who even still asks to see ID at my local theater is this old haggard ***** who probably knows my name and license number by heart now, but still cards me every time i go see a movie. i also have a considerable amount of facial hair most of the time, and the woman still doesnt believe i could be a high school senior or older.
