It's hard to find a thread specifically on this subject using the search function so I thought I'd make one that maybe one day can be found when it sinks. If there was one that I'm not aware of, please feel free to point me towards it and close this thread or whatever.

I've read people rant on here in other rant threads, and this subject makes for an interesting read as usual. I myself don't remember anything 'extraordinary' but when I went to see "The Gravedancers", a decision that was made with a buddy. There were two extremely fat people in the back of the room. When the movie ended and we were walking out...and if you remember, this was that whole "8 Films to die for" weekend...we overheard the guy say "Welp...gotta sit thru 'nother one of these" and the woman went "Yyyuuup"

We burst into laughter.

When I went to see Rob Zombie's Halloween, the theater was practically empty, so my wife and I sat in the middle of the theater. We sat talking and waiting for the movie to start and I noticed a guy in the very back of the theater get up and start moving down, closer to the screen. I didn't think much of it until the guy sat down directly behind my wife and I. I looked at her mouthing "WTF?" and didn't know what to do. Well, the movie started (and I was so excited to see it I forgot all about this guy) and we were watching the first few minutes in silence and out of nowhere this crazy bastard kicks the back of my seat as hard as he could and yells "QUIT TALKING!!!." I was awestruck. I stood up quickly, my fists balled tight and yelled back "What the fuck, man?!" I was ready to start swinging when a theater manager burst in and kicked the guy out. It was kinda funny (when I think back now) but at the time I was ready to rip the guy's fuckin head off! That was the only incident I could think of worthy enough for this thread... Lol.

Back in '04, I saw Open Water, and when the nude female lead popped up on the screen, some kid in the back yelled, "SWEET!" I had to laugh at that.

I saw Spielberg's War of the Worlds in an old-school, gigantic movie theatre. We showed up early, the place was less than half full, dozens of seats all around, and some motherfucker comes and sits right in front of my face. I thought I was part of some sort of social experiment.

There's a nice old fashioned kind of theater just outside Boston where I caught The Watchmen. During the scene involving Rorschach repeatedly hacking at the child molester's face with a meat cleaver, the two elderly ladies who were sitting in front of me(your guess is as good as mine as to why they were there) quickly got up, walked out, and never returned to their seats.

my theater sucks. something is always going wrong. when i went to see IB the movie started 20min late. most of the time its just the screen is off center if you go to a first showing on opening day. that or the sound dosent work for the first five min of the movie.

Back when I was in Middle school, I saw Austin Powers 2 with my father and his friend. They wanted to sit in the middle of the row, which meant that we had to walk past people to get to our seats. My father and his friend went fist and I followed them. There was a 30-something year old black man sitting at the end of the row with his girlfriend. As we walked past him, he refused to slide his feet back so I could pass him. As a result I must have stepped on his foot. I apologized and continued walking down the row.

Ten minutes later, during the previews, the 30-something year old black man walked down the row, and starting threatening me and gesturing like he was going to hit me (a 13 year old boy) all for smudging his shoe. My father's friend then stood up (he is 6'5"), and the man walked back down the row grabbed his girlfriend by the arm and left the theater. If my father didn't have such tall firends, I might have been murdered by a grown black man over a smudge on his air jordan's. Just another day at the movie's!

I think I may have a solution. Just in case bring in some candy like milk duds or junior mints and/if some other theater patron with poor etiquette (bringing in a crying infant child, cell phone talking, etc. Throw one of those at the parent's/adult's head. If the person turns around, ignore them and don't rat the thrower out.

I do have to say cell phone talking behavior during movies have improved immensely at least from my experience (probably due to texting). So keep up the good work folks! ;) Just got to work on your general chatter and antsyness.
