The most irritated I've been at a movie lately was this year when I went with my sister in law to see Twilight. First, we sat in front of a large group of people who had mutliple small children with them. Besides talking through out the movie, the little girl behind my sister in law started kicking the back of her seat. We turned around to complain and the "father" glared at us so menacingly that we got up and moved.

At the new seat, there was a man and his date sitting down the row from us. They started carrying on a complete conversation during the movie - I mean if you want to talk, why would you pay to see a movie???? So, we moved again.

The only available seats were in the front of the theater where a number of teens were sitting. There were kids texting, talking, checking their phones, etc.

Needless to say, we didn't enjoy the movie, and have Xed that theater off our list of places to go see a movie. It seems like a new theater will open up and for a bit, there will be decent clientelle, then I guess word gets around and all these sketchy "raised by wolves" type people start showing up there...

I've gotten to where I'll only go see a movie at the theater if it would TRULY lose its luster by waiting and watching it at home - like the new Star Trek - that, I want to see on the big screen...
