katie and appleciders, I think movie compatibility is just about as important as any other compatibility in couples. My husband and I are the same level of movie goers - we talk a little during movies, usually to MST3K something, and that’s it (we also talk very quietly, directly to each other). We also try to sit as far away from other people as we can, because it’s more comfortable, but also because we know we have a tendency to talk a little during movies.

Asimovian, you’re trying to make me feel bad for not going to the Arclight? Man that’s low! 
Actually this isn’t even my usual theater - we went to the one in Palmdale instead of Lancaster because we wanted to have a few at BJs and stagger across the parking lot. There aren’t any restaurants within staggering distance in Lancaster, which I am now sure is part of the reason I never have problems there.

Hey, I was just talking about my own opinion – if you feel bad, that’s your guilt talking.
I get very, very reluctant to get involved in theater confrontations. I guess I’m just loathe to mouth off to people. But I also think theater personnel should spend a little more time cracking down on that sort of thing. Can’t each movie complex have an employee responsible for going from theater to theater just making sure things are running smoothly? How hard is that?

Normally I am as well (believe it or not). I think if there hadn’t been a trip to the brewhouse before, I would have silently stewed, or gone in search of a Pimply Faced Youth ™ to escort the assbitch out.
This sort of stuff makes me think that when I get a big HD flatscreen with good speakers, I might just stop going out to the movies. For the price of two tickets you can buy a DVD.
