Seriously, you're in a movie theater, shut the fuck up!!!
I was watching Avatar last night and there were these people behind me who would not stop criticizing the movie the whole time. All 2:15 of it and it ended with them yelling out "worst movie ever" at the end. I was pissed because I thought the movie was bad ass. I tried to look at them to get them to shut up but with those 3-D glasses on it's really difficult to render facial expressions. :grr:

1. Next time, don't sit in front of me
I would probably have moved to a different seat, if one were available.

On the bright side, your "shut up" look was probably conveyed in astonishing 3-D.

7. Kind of hard to do that with a 3-D movie.

3. That has to be one of my biggest pet peeves.
When you're in a movie theater, you're supposed to WATCHING THE MOVIE, not whining about how bad it is. If you don't like the movie, then just walk out. It's that simple.

9. If you don't like the movie, don't pay $11 to see it. It's that simple.
I was gonna point them to the theater next door showing the Tooth Fairy. They can criticize that all they want.

People pay to go see the movie. Not to hear idiots run their stupid mouth.

6. Eat beans before you go to the movies

Toss down a salad with lots of mushrooms and boiled eggs. Wash it down with a 40 ounce beer.

No body will be sitting behind you

12. If people talk in the theatres where I go, most of the audience
tells people to be quiet, shut up, or whatever. If the talking continues, someone goes and gets an employee and that usually puts an end to it. It's completely inappropriate to talk during a movie. If someone doesn't like the movie, they should walk out. I have no tolerance for that behavior. People even get the stink eye if they're texting.

13. I was surprised...
That being in the 6pm showing of Avatar, that it was still being sold out. I got to see it today and it was the first time, NO ONE said a thing, until the end.

Usually I hate to go to the movies because there is always some person making commentary though out the entire film. Sorry that you had to go though that, I know I hate it too, and it puts me off from going as much.

But my friend told me I had to go, and see it, and I did.
