Most people on this forum know that I, Haunted, loath people, with the exception of most of the crew present and accounted for here.
I'll tell you what drives me utterly bat shit are the popcorn pigs. They are the people around you shoveling it in and talking at the same time. THat's happened to me too many times. Why can't people understand that when the movie is going you're supposed to become as quiet as possible and for the love of all things celluloid SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!
Teenagers and their goddamn cellphones are another issue.... Don't get me started.

Cheers. It's nice to see someone else who treats their mom like a queen. In my situation, it was my dad who died of cancer in 2002. Being an only child, I'm pretty much there for my mom (just me!), and since she has refused all of my offers of paying for an online dating site, I figure I might as well take her out. :) And ever since I've grown interested in Independent film, so has she. So, hey, it's a GREAT excuse to see a good movie and take my mom out to dinner.
...
Cheers on your hatred of people as well. I keep my friends veeeeery close.

Yes. I honestly believe that people who talk during movies, people who gluttonously eat
audibly during movies, people who are so incredibly disrespectful so as not to silence their mobile devices... Should be shot or stoned. I actually like the idea of hot pokers.
There's an idea that I've been crafting for a while. Either:
a. Everyone entering the theater has to sign a waver giving the right to vanquish any freedom after they emit any sound during the picture. Once obtrusive sound is emitted, the audience gains the right to torture them.
or (and probably more viable)
b. Headphones are available for those who actually want to
hear and enjoy the film. Personally, when I watch movies, I like to tune
everything out.
