I just got back from seeing the Hulk. And for the second time in a row. I am finding the audience to be getting worse. This is what happened in this one movie...
-A family with a 3 year old kid sat next to me. Now, having kids of my own, I understand having patience. But, this movie is around 2 1/2 hours and the kid got bored and would start talking. At first the parent did nothing and even would talk with the kid. But, finally he would shush him.
-The same family got a cell call. And instead of answering it quickly or turning it off. The wife waited a few rings, like she was pretending it wasn't hers.
-This guy sits in front of me. And sat up straight the entire movie. So about a quarter of the screen was blocked by this guys head. I know this is not a major deal, but most people settle in their seat.
-This woman comes back from getting food. And after looking for about 3 seconds for her group proceeds to call out their names. And when she finds them(they were 2 rows from where she was). She proceeds to stand up at her seat for a minute yapping until she finally sat down. And it wasn't like she didn't know where they were sitting. She was with them through half the movie.
-People talking. And not just kids, every age.
Maybe, I am oversensitive to all of this. I never really had problems with going to movies. I usually go to one or two a month. But, the last two times have been brutal. All of this makes me enjoy my home theater even more.
