Movie Theaters...aarrrggghhhh

[GASlick]

I quit going to movie theaters several years ago.  Mainly because people don't know how to behave anymore.  I like to sit in the middle half way up the seats so I can get "into" the movie.  I arrive early, appx 20 or so mins depending on how popular the movie.  I get my food and go to the bathroom and THEN sit down.  5 mins AFTER the movie starts some party of 20, usually teenagers but not always, shows up and says "Can you move down?"  NO!
Cell Phones ringing, people talking on their phones, texting, getting up and down, walking around. 

With that said, we did go see all three "Pirates of the Carribbean" movies at the theater.  What are your bad movie experiences?

back in like '89 or so when the original batman movie came out. me and a friend went to downtown chicago to see it. we got there.the theater was packed. the guy next to me had sandals on. he decided within 10 mins. of the movie starting that he would take them off and prop his feet up on the seats. they seriously smelled like a bag of wet doritos....about 15 mins. later u could tell that the theater people had turned up the a/c to shoot that funk on out the place !

i would have had to tell him something. i usually don't go to movies. but when i do, i wait untill the movie has been out for a couple weeks. that way the crowds are smaller. matinees help too.

My strategy precisely....some people like the full theater atmosphere...

My thang is the less people the better...

Me and my daughter like to use the handicapped seats where it's just 2 seats at the back row of the front section separated by an area where a wheelchair can pull up and their's no one right behind ya either.

Of course if someone rolled up in a wheel chair, we'd do the right thing...

and say TOUGH LUCK, BUCKO !!.........j/k....haven't come across that yet.

I'm with Tim on this one.  I didn't fall asleep but I was disappointed in the movie.  Just didn't find Michael Keaton to be a credible Batman.  Christian Bale is a much better Batman, IMO.

Some movies need the full screen experience. Recently, all the Marvel Comic movies (Iron Man, Fantastic Four, Spiderman) fall into that category.

Like others, I usually wait until opening weekend has come & gone.
