I might as well tell you guys my Batman begins story. I see tha that the consensus here is mostly about the crying babies and the kids. Thank goodness that the people here in Maryland are so gully that as soon as a baby starts to cry too much the parents I guess fear for their safety so they normally just go ahead and take the kids out the theater. But the Batman thing is what got me pissed off the most. Me and my friend were at the movies, I was going to see Batman Begins, and he was going to see Mr and Mrs Smith. He had already seen BMB already, but his movie didn't start for another 1/2 an hour. So he decided to watch some of the BMB again and see of any new previews. So I'd say about 15 minutes into the movie, you know the part that normally lets you know what is what with the movie, here comes this family of four. Now this is Batman, 2nd day out. The theater is freakin packed to the gill. There are scattered seats everywhere, but an abundance of seats at the bottom. Now granted those seats normally suck, but hey if you get there late you just should deal with those seats rather than disturb other people who made the effort to get there ON TIME. So anyway I normally like to sit all the way up top on the end so if I have to run to the bathroom I can just hop up and jet down the steps without disturbing anybody. So its like three seats left where we are. This moron, his wife and two kids are searching in the dark for seats at the very top 15 minutes into the freakin movie. Then I guess he sees the seats beside us. Now any respecting husband would let his family sit down first in the seats, but not this jerk, he immediatly flops down in the seat, then his two kids, then his wife. What is wrong with this picture you ask? Well remember earlier I said there were only THREE seats. SO guess whose seat got taken? My friend's seat who was only standing up so they could get past by the clueless wife. Now granted in this situation it worked out for that jackass because my friend was already going to leave anyway, but that ass is really lucky that wasn't my gf or anything, because if it had been I would had politely told one of them that they would have had to get up. I wouldn't care which one it was, Wife, one of the kids, the ass, any one of them. That crap is ridiculous. I should surrender one of my seats to these morons who can't get to the movie on time like everyone else. And what made it so bad was that he ended up with better seats than most people in the F'ing theater. He was damn near top middle after he flopped down. Even though my friend was leaving anyway, I was still freakin pissed!! I know I don't own the rights to all the seats, but c'mon people show some damn common courtesy. It pisses me off now just to write that!

So moral of the story, if you come to the theater late, and you happen to have a clan of 3 or 4 people, don't try to look for seats TOGETHER at the very top 15-20 minutes into the f'ing movie!!
