Tie between people talking and cell phones. Both are so incredibly irresponsible and disrespectful.

Commercials. People can be knocked out, babies duct taped, and tickets aren't too bad. But for farg's sake get the movie going already.

Hands down, the cost of tickets. Soda for two and a movie is like $25. Give me a break.

I'll give you a farging break for $5.75. Would like some farging butter on that?  :deion

I went with commercials but I'm going to expand on that one.  Because it's not even the commercials that really bother me.  They help pass the time while I'm waiting for the movie to start.  What I absolutely hate about going to the movies is that stupid little AMC film strip figure they have running around on the screen before they actually start the movie.  I hate that little rat bastich and every time he starts galloping across the screen I just want to rip his stupid little film strip arms off him and beat him relentlessly.  ARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!  I hate that gay little biatch!  :boom

thats your own fault for going to the gay ones. ;)   of the last 4 flicks I went to see, i enjoyed 3 of em. Devils Rejects, Wedding Crashers, Cinderella Man..... the one I didnt care for, War of the Worlds, was just an effects flick anyway which is best viewed on the big screen.

TV sucks. Movies are awesome. Except when they suck. Which is often.

:-D Funny thing is, my daughter hates him too.  I flew to Seattle for a few days after I finished recruiters school back in March and took her to see Robots.  After that little film strip homo got done doing his thing she tapped me on the arm and said "Dad, what was that?" and I said it was some movie film that was supposed to be shaped like a person.  She said "Oh.  That's kind of stupid."  I damn near dropped my soda.  :-D

Cell phones ringing is bad, but things can get a lot worse. People answering the cell phones, chatting, raising up their phone to take pictures....

Babies are okay. Loud whining and taking a dump right in the theater are legitimate responses to some of the films out there lately.

Dio nailed the basic problem. People are inconsiderate idiots, and in a large crowd, chances are excellent that at least one person around you will find a way to remind you of that fact multiple times during the movie. As a result, I usually only go to movies when they have been out so long that most people don't even think they are out anymore. When there's like 10 people spread around the theater, it's a tolerable place. I think the last time I got roped into going to a packed theater, it was for Passion of the Christ. Some ugly fat teenagers were making out in front of me the whole time. The film had scenes that were cringe-worthy enough, without the added spectacle of those behemoths sucking face a couple feet from my eyeballs.
