Most of these comments are why I haven't gone to a movie theatre since LOTR Return of the King came out waaay back whenever it did. I say take the 9 bucks you would normally spend on a movie and save it for a home theatre system. I did that, and it allows me to maintain my rage against humanity.

I saw Pirates of the Carribean three times in the theater. The first time, four rather large...okay, very fat people behind me kept saying exactly what was just said on the screen to each other. Through the whole movie!
The second time I went to see it, I was TDY in Arizona, by myself. A woman came in with 5 kids. Okay, I can see that...its a base theater, tickets are cheap...but those kids better be the hell quiet! And, surprisingly, they were. It was the mother who, after every funny line or bit of action would holler at the top of her lungs "Uh-OH!" I wasn't the only one to notice it either. Everyone in that theater turned around about the tenth time she did it.

Then, her youngest child, provided with a soda in a cup bigger than she was, dropped it. I looked down to see a river of coke flow over my brand new shoes. The man in front of me said "What the hell!" and turned around to give me the dirtiest look. I mean dirtier than Jayne! Not knowing what to do, I got up, cursed loudly, if unenthusiastically, shook my shoes off, and headed for a corner seat. When the movie ended, the guy who was sitting in front of me was agrily staring at me and saying things to his family that I couldn't hear...I did pick up his son say "Kick his ass." though. The third time I went, I sat in the very back, and moved down more and more as more people sat in my row. Luckily, I enjoyed that showing..

Yeah, instead of book purists, I should have said anyone who talks in a movie...But, book purists really piss me off...Not everything in a book translates well to the movie screen...Especially if you're talking about HHGTTG or LOTR. I don't care...I didn't come to the theater for a literary discussion...I came to see a gorram movie! If I had put cell phones on there too, that would have been an Annoyance Level:11, but I forgot. Turn the damn thing off, and stop talking on in when you're driving too! Now that I'm properly vented (with no expectations of now exploding) I feel better...thanks chosen1!

Ooh, I got one:

Sitting down in to watch a much anticipated movie (after paying nine bucks) only to have some dumb teenage girls giggling and talking incessantly.
Anoyance level: 11

Oh, they are definitely going to the special hell.
