The movies were too loud for him! The loud sound bothered my ears, too, so I&#8217;m not sure if I&#8217;m getting old, or, if the movies are getting louder! At first, I thought the loudness was due to the fact that they were showing previews, but then the movie came on and the sound stayed up there, at several decibels! My four-year-old son started crying and covering his ears and said he wanted to go home! So, we got up with our jumbo popcorn and soda and I asked for a refund for our tickets. <strong>Do you think the movies are too loud nowadays? <\/strong>The movie was also in 3-D, which I thought was cool! I really wanted to see this movie, too, because I enjoyed Toy Story 1 &#038; 2, but I was sure that when I left that theater, my ears would&#8217;ve been ringing. <\/p>\n<p>I went to see Avatar in the theater on Mother&#8217;s Day weekend and the sound of that movie didn&#8217;t bother me. However, it was in an older theater. I paid a reduced price to see it since it was already out on DVD when I saw it in the theater.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_l0Jv-SLk81k\/TDMGFvAGUDI\/AAAAAAAADrk\/qQp9x9WczZY\/s1600\/mailbox.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 156px;\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_l0Jv-SLk81k\/TDMGFvAGUDI\/AAAAAAAADrk\/qQp9x9WczZY\/s200\/mailbox.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490739066280759346\" \/><\/a>I submitted a proposal yesterday.
