Sometimes these people talk to each other. Sometimes they just do a running commentary, kind of a stream of consciousness thing like "That's funny." or "Wait 'til you see this." --or whatever else pops into their heads.
I give them my very best "look" but these types are oblivious.

I seem to find myself sitting near these same people Boomer BeBack. I look for some of the same couples who do this at practically every movie in Villages' theaters. I do not mind it that much when it is a lousy or boring movie like
Semi-Pro but it is irritating when you really want to see what is going on with the show.
Unfortunately, though, I have found these talkers at every movie theater venue I have been at from Oldsmar, FL to the Scottsdale, AZ area to Minneapolis, MN to Schaumburg, IL to Reno, NV to Petaluma, CA. Once in a while they do have something really interesting to say like when the guy behind me while I was watching the Rene Russo/Morgan Freeman/Dustin Hoffman picture
Outbreak on 3/12/95 at the Petaluma Cinemas asked his companion if he had noticed the 611 through 614 or so sequence with special attention going to#613. I have been rather obsessive about noticing numbers like 6 1 3 and 2 2 4 in movies since that March of 1995.
You do hear some interesting things at the movies as well as see them. Sometimes I go to movies to see what other people notice in them more than for the movie. Often went to the show in Palm Harbor and Oldsmar (near Palm Harbor) to notice what the audience saw on the screen and if they said anything.
