Movie Etiquette

I was at the movies the other day and I couldn't believe the amount of clueless people that were there. Is it just me or does it seem that lately people have no concept of courtesy to the other people trying to watch the movie. Here's a list of the things people do that really pisses me off.

1)The Hell in the Cell. You know these people, they can't seem to put their damn cell phone down for more than 5 minutes. It's either calling or texting on a regular basis while the movie is showing. Not only is it irritating, it's rude. Here's a clue, unless you're a trauma surgeon or President Obama has you on speed dial for national security issues, you're NOT THAT IMPORTANT! Turn the damn thing off, it's only 2 hours for Christ's sake.

2)The Chatty Cathy. Nothing like a good conversation during a movie to totally ruin it. I don't know about you, but I spent good money to SEE THE MOVIE, not listen to you talk away. Shut the F**k up.

3)The Space Invader. The theater sits 300 people and there's only 25 or so there. So what happens, some idiot sits right in front of you, right behind you, or right next to you. What, not enough available seats? Not only is it irritating, it's more than a bit creepy as well. Unless it's crowded, let's try and leave a row between everyone, it's not much to ask.

4)The Talk Show Host. You're really into a movie, and some douchebag feels the need to discuss and comment on every single thing that happens. I don't care that landing on an asteroid to blow it up isn't realistic, neither is halflings from middle earth fighting a dark force. Guess what, IT'S A MOVIE, lighten up Francis.

5)The Jack Rabbit. This is the guy that comes in carrying the 5 gallon bucket of Coke and has to sit in the middle of the aisle. The next 2 hours he spends either running to the concession stand or to the bathroom. Up and down, up and down, in and out, in and out, each time requiring you to get up from your seat so he can get by. If you baldder's that weak, perhaps the small Coke will work.

Just a few things for thought. Please don't be one of these morons....
