Ranting on movie theaters and their patrons.

Once again, I went to our local movie theater this evening to see a movie, (something I rarely do for obvious reasons). I try and make the late show as to avoid as many loud mouthed morons and their commentaries throughout the picture as possible. No such luck. This time I was serenaded by an infant screaming throughout the movie and the parents sat and did nothing. I had to listen to a couple of twenty-something's yammer on and on to the right of me, another young gal yapping on her cell phone, oh, and we have to throw in the kicking of the back of my seat for good measure. I tried moving to different seats throughout the theater, but this proved to be an exercise in futility. I felt as though I was either in a Chuckee Cheese Pizza Parlor or a room full of ADHD patients. The only upside was the volume was so loud that it at times drowned out these morons. Unfortunately for an older person with hearing aids, their dust. I'm 41 years old, and I don't remember it being this bad even twenty years ago. What has happened to our society that being a slob and rude is the rule rather than the exception? Is it any wonder why DVD's, DVD players and home theater systems sales are booming? I'm done with theaters.
