Honestly, every time I go to the theater some people have ringing cellphones, another group of jackasses keeps talking throughout the movie, etc. Fucking obnoxious. I only go to the theater these days when it's a movie I really "need" to see on the big screen, otherwise I wait for the DVD and enjoy it in my home theater.

I'm with Dinkins (Stinky?). The only movies I've seen in the theater since TPM were ROTS, Finding Nemo, Charlette's Web and Night in the Museum - all of which were mainly to take my children. I always, always, ALWAYS get the dude talking or the kid kicking my seat right behind me (this even at a recent baseball game. They were also blowing whistles for every fucking play.). One time I had kids throwing skittles from the back of the crowded theater.

It's just not fucking worth it. All that money and time wasted on gas, tickets and food? Not for me. Netflix has made my life so much easier.

I too feel Stinky's pain. My local theater (and the ones in surrounding vacinities) are so infested with your garden variety degenerate that it's just not worth going. If it's something I need to see, which is every few months, I go during the afternoon on opening day, because you know you'll be there with the more diehard movie freaks. Friday or saturday night? Forget it. It's all just people yelling at the screen, talking on cell phones, babies crying, people walking in 5 minutes after the damn movie has started expecting a seat right in the middle, fatty boombas getting up for their third, fourth, and fifth buckets of popcorn, ect.
