I agree, but I'm glad it doesn't happen too often because most of the time I try to sit in the very back.

I sit pretty far as well depends on how PACKED the movie is


Beyond the SEa was PACKED

when people sit directly in front or next to you when there are plenty of other seats

Same here, Lucas. My favorite spot in the theater is in the very back. Good thing noone can kick your chair back there.

Omg..I have PLENTY!!

-People who talk during a movie...wtf?! Who comes to a movie to talk..geez!!
-People who tend to shout out comments towards the movie like "No don't go in there!!' or "C'mon....shoot him already!!" Wtf?!
-People who decide to sit right in front of me out of the hundreds of other good seats in the theater especially if it's some tall dude or a woman with big hair.
-People who sit behind me and kick my chair....AHHHH!!
-People who after seeing a theatrical trailer(out of the hundreds they show) are all "Ohh I want to see that...blah blah blah!!!"
-Cell phone ringing...WTF???
-People who munch on their popcorn with such exxageration
-The disgusting prices!! I sneak my food in almost all the time
-The rude movie theater workers
-The sticky nasty floors...my feet always get stuck to the ground
-The nasty bathrooms(That long line!!)
-Sometimes the volume is so high I have to cover my ears
-The ghetto uncomfortable seats that are broken and squeak
-The fact that some theaters have no cup holders
-The people that get up every 5 minutes to do who knows what causing me to get up and disrupt me from watching the movie
-The annoying children(Who the hell brings young children to see scary R rated movies?? What's wrong with you parents??)
-The fact that a ticket is $10.50
-And last but not least.....When the movie you want to see so badly is sold out

This may not be AT the movies, but is definitely a pet peeve ABOUT movies. I just bought an inexpensive DVD this evening, "Most Wanted" with Keenen Ivory Wayans and Jon Voight. Feeling lucky, I went to Safeway and was already to buy a nice used copy of "Man on Fire" with Denzel Washington. Just as I was about to buy it, the guy at the checkstand said it was a great movie, but felt inclined to TELL ME THE ENDING. Seeing that one of my
Ten Commandments is Thou Shalt Not Tell Movie Endings, I decided NOT to buy it. Thanks for giving away the ending, Mr. Silly Clerk, you just lost a sale.
I imagine that I'll see it eventually, but I want to be kept in suspense next time.

"Most Wanted" was good, though.

Here are my gripes:

People who talk during the film (whether it's the person I'm with or someone else, it really PISSES me off!)

People talking on their cell phones and/or cell phones ringing

Bratty, noisy children who aren't controlled by their parents

Teenagers that come in big groups with their friends and talk, laugh, scream and make their immature commentary throughout the movie.

When a theater is nearly empty, yet someone tall insists on sitting directly in front of me

When a movie theater is overcrowded. I find it hard to enjoy the movie if that's the case
