Well. . . erm. . . I don't know how to say this, Meowth, but if you're going to a Pokemon movie you kind of have to expect little kids like that to be there. . . we expected kids...but just becasue they're kids doesn't mean they have to be annoying little pukes I think I remember turning around and politely telling the kid behind me to stop kicking my chair...he didn't stop  ...their mother kept telling them to shut up...but...argh...I guess it doesn't help when I dislike little kids >.< The theatre that used to be in my cruddy city (it was torn down) was really in bad shape...first off it was small (two theatres) theatre two was the worst, with a huge rip in the screen...and the seats at the back were all wrecked (some of the seats were even missing) and were the floors ever so gross... now we have to go to the city close to us (1hr away) just to go to see a movie (they have a Cineplex Odeon though, so it's worth it) |

See, this is why I wish I was Blue Dragon. I could go to public places armed with Fire Breath Potions and Tranquilizer Pistols. Once, I went with my aunt, grandmother, mother, and cousin to a movie. We were too young to see Bridget Jones's Diary (yuk) so we had to see Spy Kids (double yuk). My cousin and I sat by this troop of idiot kids who enjoyed repeating every friggin' line in the movie, and the kids' mother asks us, "Are you two on a date?" I was inclined to answer, "Ma'am, it's illegal for us to be on a date in this state." (I'm pretty sure Texas has laws against marrying your cousins, but I'm not sure) Heh, I'm glad I'm not a Billy the Hick...fortunately, the area I live in is pretty well urbanized, so you don't see country bumpkins for miles.  |

Very pathetic. |

I never had any problems in the theater other than the fact that if I go late, I get bad seats. I went early to see Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, but my favorite seats were still taken! I managed to find one though.
I hate being close to people and I don't like people talking when I don't want them to talk.
Next time you want to see a popular movie, go REALLY early or else you get bad seats in front of, behind, or across from annoying people.

Ahem. Like Kiddo, i too was a pain in the butt during a movie. The Little Mermaid, to be specific, and i have an excuse because i was, well, young. i can't remember the age; it's all very hazy.
For example:
"SHE'S BEHIND YOU! LOOK OUT!!"
Some guy in front of us turned around at the end of the movie and said he enjoyed the commentary. It was very tolerant of him really. My parents were embarrassed out of their skins.
However, my fav would have to be sometime this year (no idea what the movie was) when there was a preview for Rocky and Bullwinkle, the computer animated squirrel and moose, in which a little kid piped up: "But that's not a squirrel!"
It was just the querulous voice she said it in. It was so cute.

Hmm...most of my experiences haven't been quite that bad...but that may come from the fact that by the time I get to the theatre to see most movies, they have already been out for a week or two and aren't very busy (our theatre isn't all that popular to begin with anyway). Most recently, I went with my brother and cousin to see the Santa Claus 2, and there was a group of teenage girls a few rows ahead of us. They were talking and stuff during the movie, and while they weren't exactly whispering, they weren't being overly loud either, so it was easy to tune them out...until one of the girls' cell phone rang. She proceeded to have a 15 minute conversation....(Cell phones really annoy me...I mean, its one thing if you're called for an emergency and have to rush out or something, but to have just a social call in the middle of a show?)

Urgh. One problem with 'The Ring' was that it- I really don't know how- managed to get a PG-13 rating, so a lot of middle schoolers (including, um, me...) went to see it.
I also had a huge problem with LOTR, because I managed to find the two friends to go with who were going to start a popcorn fight in the middle. Plus, one of my friends kept on leaning over and asking questions like, "Why are they cutting down the trees? What's the guy with grey hair's name again?"
Well, that's my movie rant.

Oh yes, something else i wanted to say:
Best movie experience: Our school ended on a Wednesday so my friend and I went to the movies that Thursday, when most people were in school, to see the Emperor's New Groove. We were the only people there. It was just awesome. we could laugh as loud as we wanted, pick the best seats, put our feet up on the chair in front of us, and pass comments about the movie that we normally wouldn't have done. (And not have to do the whole, quietly-as-possible-eat-food.)

Hehe, I have a funny story about the movies, though it has nothing to do with rude idiots.
Once, when my grandparents were visiting, the family went out to see Spiderman. But there was some sort of mess up at the theatres and they started showing us Unfaithful instead. It was hilarious when the guy came in and said "Erm. . . sorry about that! Obviously, that wasn't Spiderman." In addition to correcting it, he gave everyone coupons for the snack bar. Since my grandparents don't have an AMC theater where they live, they gave theirs to us. Then the next time my Mom, brother and I went to the movie, Mom when up to the snack bar and started going crazy with purchases. The poor guy would start to say "That will be ___ dollars" and Mom would slap a coupon down in front of him. He got really mad because we had a HUGE order and didn't lay down a penny for it. It was hilarious.

Mebbe Rachel. Hrm.. do you, by any chance, live in Pennsylvania? Slap me if you already said that, since I have the memory of a drunken Gnat. ^^; And yes, middle graders ARE stupid morons.

I HATE it when people begin to talk during movies, or they do annoying things.
When I went to see Harry Potter last week, some stupid girl would say, "Oh, now this going to happen," loud enough for the theater to hear. I would have liked to shout "SHUT THE F___ UP!," if my parents, my sister, and my dad's friend weren't in the theater...I just settled for shushing the little....
I remember, I used to go to pupper shows put on by a group called Mad Cap Productions, before I moved. They basically did amazingly good puppet shows. Anyway, once I was watching one, and the plot was that some kid gets kidnapped by things (it was a while ago, all right?) and dragged into another dimension, and his oldr brother has to save him, or something like that. So the leader of Mad Cap Productions, Jerry I think, has this role in it, as the evil person's henchmen, and he says something like, "You are now going to come into this world." (I said I don't remember, all right?)
Which caused this little girl to shout out, "But I don't WANNA go!"
So Jerry then says, "Too bad kiddo!"
Yes, I know this is supposed to be about annoying people, but I just HAD to put this story in...

Ugggg...movie idiots. You know, I've had my share of those. Especially the ones who kick your seats. You sit there, and there's just SOMEONE who feels obligated to, because the movie is so absolutely boring, entertain themselves by kicking your seat.
And kicking it.
And kicking it.
And kicking it.
And kicking it.
I've never actually raised my voice to anyone like that, but MAN, do I want to!

Also dislike the people who like to sit right in front of short people with their: big hats or large hair (think Marge Simpson) then there are the people who stand-sit on the seats. It's in the middle of standing and sitting on the seat...making it near impossible for you to see the screen.
Last but not least...the people-who-obviously-didn't-come-to-see-the-movie-but-came-to-make-fun-of-it-and-shout-annoying-comments-all-through-the-darn-movie.
those things haven't been mentioned so I thought I'd include them.
im done now ;D
