What stops me from going to the movies:

1) Parents who bring their babies or young children to a PG-13 thriller only to spend the entire 2 hours explaining to the crying child that it's not real...it's only a movie.

2) People who don't turn off their cell phones and proceed to take calls and talk through the movie.

3) People who talk to their neighbors through the movie even when you politely ask them to be quiet.

4) People who eat like they've been raised in a barn.

5) Parents who use the movie as a two hour babysitter, which means children running wild, not sitting still, and talking through the movie.

6) Even though there are 200 sets in the theater and 10 strangers watching the movie...they all sit with a chair of each other as if they are afraid someone might attack them in the night.

After listening to 2 little old ladies talk through the entire 2 hours of Shakespeare in Love, I did turn to them at the end and say, "You might take into consideration the next time you come to a film that people like me did not pay $6.25 to listen to you talk through the whole movie."

That's why I wait for the movie to come out on DVD.

I can't even stand to look at the slobs who walk through the door. Even the adults tend to look like these two:

Tell me about it. I tend to go to a movie in the middle of the week and after it has been out for 2-3 weeks, and it never fails the people who come in have to sit right in front of me, or behind me and kick my seat for the next 90 minutes.
