OMG--I actually HAVE gone up to people in theaters before, actually walked up to them in the middle of the movie, and told them to turn off their phones b/c it's distracting everyone else from the movie. :P
Actually, true story, for opening weekend of Spiderman 3, I was at this really shitty theater, and this guy's phone started ringing. So, he actually answers it! He says, "Hey, what's going on?... Nothing much... Yeah, I'm just watching a movie." Talking at normal volume, completely able to be heard over the film, and this was during a scene with Harry, which amde everything ten trillion times worse. So, I scream, so loud my throat hurts, "GET OFF THE PHONE!!" Then, there's utter silence in the theater for about three seconds before the guy says, "I'm gonna have to call you back." Then he hung up and no one made any more noise for the rest of the movie. Imagine that. :P
Well, TDK is still at #1 and it's got another 25,000-ish votes. I'll be keeping an eye on it.
And my friend who I went to see it with for this awful crowd (it was my third time seeing TDK but her first) ended up saying she hated the movie. I was like, uh, you're on crack cocaine. She said that all the people on their cell phones and getting up and down was the sign that a movie sucks. I was like, NO, it's a sign that the CROWD sucks. -_-;;
