Dear idiots
People who talk during movies suck.
Over the past few years, I’ve gotten better at putting up with rude, antisocial behavior in movie theaters. It still pisses me off, but I try really hard not to become apoplectic when some dipshit decides to ruin it for everyone else by talking back to the screen or answering his/her cellphone. Kids are mostly blameless as far as I’m concerned. Babies can’t help but cry and older youngsters are still learning how to get along in public. That said, I’m going to use my bully pulpit to make a plea to you movie talkers out there (you know who you are.)
Please shut the fuck up.

Gawd, I am so with you on this. Recently the husband and I planned ahead, like a week in advance, to have the babysitter to come over so we could go see Syriana together. The theater was pretty packed, and we got stuck with this old bitty behind us who had her own dialogue with the actors on-screen almost the entire time, and would frequently sigh heavily and dramatically. I so wanted to punch her in the face.

My ears are burning in frustrated sympathy. Grrr.

I’ve almost completely stopped going to the movietheaters because of this. I’m get so angry at people talking during movies that I loose all ability to consentrate on the happenings on the screen…just keep working myself up thinking of what evil, humiliating things to say to babblers to shut them up…
