My wife and I are movie buffs and try to go out to a movie one or two times a week. Since we have moved here we observe way too many incidents of downright rude behavior in the theatres. Last week we had a woman in front of us carry on an entire conversation on her cell phone. I nicely asked her to have the conversation elsewhere but she ignored me.
Today we had a couple sitting one row in front of us that carried on a conversation in front of us. It made listening to parts of the dialogue very difficult. The first couple of times my wife gave a quiet "ssshhhh!" They stopped the conversation and then began it again a few minute later. This time I leaned forward ad politely asked if they could have their conversation elsewhere. They stopped again for a little while. Shortly afterwards they resumed their conversation and I lost it--I gave a sharp kick to the gentleman's seat in front of me. I'm angry with myself for losing my cool, but it did work. They were silent the rest of the flick. I know I could have gone to the usher, but this would have meant missing more of the movie and more disturbance once the usher arrived.
I wish these were just occasional occurences, but it seems like it happens almost every time we go to the movies. Sometimes it is in another section of the theatre but it is still disturbing to those of us trying to listen to the dialogue. I don't recall seeing this type of behavior in other places I have lived (certainly not as frequently), are we just experiencing a string of bad luck or have other people noticed this type of behavior here?

I would say its up to the management of the theater to make an anouncement before the movies starts, to turn off cell phones and no conversations during the show. If someone uses a phone or has a long winded conversation the usher should be able to throw THE BUM OUT, lol
