(31,464 posts)Even a midnight movie. The parking lot is lit up, the bright safety lights are lit up over the door (after all, this is the "emergency" exit) -- it's like when your spouse turns on a light to read at 2:00 am...it may be a 25 watt bulb, but in that environment it is glaringly obviously. I'm not saying it didn't happen...I just can't imagine how someone could prop open an exit door in a darkened movie theater and no one noticed or did a damned thing. It's just baffling to me. Honestly, if I had just paid $12 buck to see a movie and some prick opened the exit door (they are always at the base of the theater, close to the screen -- couldn't have missed it), then I would have gotten up from my seat and closed it. In the time it must have taken this guy to put on all that gear, SOMEONE must have noticed an emergency door was open. Including the theater personnel.
