DEAR ABBY: I hope you print this because moviegoers worldwide will appreciate it.
Attention, all parents who bring their babies to the movies -- please don't! I just spent $11 to listen to a baby cry and fuss for two hours. It made it impossible to enjoy "Spider Man." Thank you. -- SILENT MOVIE FAN IN SACRAMENTO
DEAR SILENT: I understand that baby sitters are expensive and not always reliable -- and that parents want to see the latest films, too. However, when a baby starts to fuss, the infant should be taken out of the theater to be fed, changed and/or calmed. To do otherwise is unfair to those who have also spent hard-earned money to enjoy a film without distraction.
P.S. DVDs are just what the doctor ordered for new parents -- not only can they be paused, but they are cheaper, too.
