Good Movie Manners Cost Nothing

If I had the house to myself today, I'd never be able to stop laughing. You win, Monster Zero.

I am sitting here alone and crying, I'm laughing so hard. Thanks for that Monster Zero. So glad no one is home to hear me!

I lost it at the Girl Scouts part. THAT deserves some kind of award.

I've read the George story about five times now, and each time I crack up. I absolutely lose it at the "Sweet Jesus" part though.

Oh, my.
Now I understand why Monster Zero is God.

I may never stop laughing.

"I like this," he would say in between mouthfuls of rank popcorn and cheap beer that he sunk into the theater in a very old pop cup. "This is gonna be a great time!"

this is my favorite part. You just know that it will not be a good time for George.

To the couple who felt it was appropriate to leave their 7 and 5 year old sons alone in the theate for Batman Begins, i would like to say ,'I hate you with the fire of a thousand suns.' The fact that your sons threw glowsticks, ran up and down the aisles, played tag, ran in and out of the door, whispered loudly to each other, played a game on a laptop computer that had loud noises, and then cused out the usher who finally removed them. i wasn't surprised in the least that the usher had to wait almost 30 minutes for Mr. and Mrs. Smith to let out to find you. Upon hearing what happened, you cused out the usher, the police came to escot you from the mall, and you had the nerve to cry racism when about 90% of the people in the theater were black, Latin,and Asian, including the usher.

I went to see Sin City with a friend when it was still in theaters. I didn't know anything about it, but tagged along because she wanted to see it. I was so not prepared for how cheesetastic it was - the old '50s style voice overs, the over-dramatic poses, etc. From the get-go I kept giggling. I tried my best to hide it, but wasn't entirely successfull a good portion of the time. The rest of the theater either didn't see the cheese or (like my friend) was totally thrown aback by the sheer amount of stylized violence. One group of over-40s left about twenty minutes in. Thankfully, after the first half hour or so, other people started laughing at the corny parts too.

So yeah, I officially report myself as that asshole in the theater who disrupted the movie.

"I gotta POOP!"

HAHAHAHAHA!

Aldura, at least your "disruptions" were due to reacting to the film and in a reasonable way. When I go to the movies (rarely anymore) I expect to hear people laugh, groan or gasp at what's going on on the screen. You get a free pass.

My story: I went to go see Heat with a friend of mine and I think it was an awesome film. I can't be sure because a gang of teenagers who were apparently raised in barns had taken over the front two rows on the right side. They were talking loudly nonstop and shrieking at each other; thank diety of your choice this was before mobiles became popular as no doubt they would have had those damn things going off as well. Anytime someone in the theater would ask them to please be quiet, the teens would yell and threaten and flip them off. The ushers were useless. People walked out pissed. Finally, I got frustrated and took the nearly full big-ass Big Gulp I had been slurping on and flung it at their heads. KABOOM! It exploded all over them. They dripped soda goo from head to toe. They turned around and demanded to know who did it. Here's the beautiful part: no one ratted me out. Not one. The kids stormed out angry. I got a round of applause.

Hee.

Well, common sense should tell you that throwing a beverage at someone is far worse than...oh, who am I kidding? YOU'RE MY HERO!!!!

KA-BOOM!

Just got back from seeing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in a packed theater. Generally the audience was well-behaved, except for the jackass in front of me with his baseball cap on, which obstructed my view. For such a large group of people, though, it was fairly quiet and people were pretty respectful.

Until the kid a few seats away from me let loose an incredibly loud fart during a quiet moment in the movie. His sister said, "Did you just do that?" as heads turned to stare. The mother was completely asleep in the seat next to him and heard nothing.

Kids, take the farts outside the theater.

ETA: ninjabunny, I want to bust bad movie behavior just like you. You are my hero.
