Went to see the first lord of the rings (packed theater) and a baby was screaming part way through. Father took the baby out to the hallway and calmed it down, came back in (sitting in middle so everyone had to stand to let him back in). Baby immediately starts screaming again, everyone stands and lets him back out. He comes back with baby, baby starts screaming again, and this time they don't take the baby out instead the mother gives the baby a rattle to play with (now screaming and shaking a rattle). Needless to say I was feeling homicidal at this point. Fortunately the manager comes in and tells the couple they will have to leave. The lady pompously states that if people wanted it quiet they should have stayed home and rented the movie when it comes out. Not sure what the manager whispered in reply but they hightailed it out after that (probably that if they didn't leave he was going to let us have a whack at them).Another pet peeve I have to is people that buy children tickets to a pg13 movie or a rated R movie and then leave them at the theater. I don't know how many times I have seen small children go running screaming from a movie theater during a horror movie. I can top the baby in the theater.

I guess for the long run it'll be even cheaper to have your own movie theater at home! Oh and a popcorn machine! :) You’re completely right!

When I find out someone I know is like this I won't ever go to another movie with them. It's no big surprise to learn they haven't ever finished reading a book in their entire life.

If I go, I usually attend an early matinee the second week of release. The killer for me is when you are in a practically empty theater and some winner has to sit directly in front of you or directly behind you when 150 other seats are available. I just wait, put it on the projector at home, and turn the ringer off. Heaven. I almost never go to the movies anymore for all of the reasons you’ve mentioned and a few more.

Halfway through the credits. I let the major actors roll by, the credits reached "key grip" and I started to talk... And this fat woman turns around and tells me to shut the fuck up. When I told her to calm down, her redneck boyfriend started climbing over his chair at me. I thought I was going to get punched in the face.Thoughts on this?
