I don't normally pay full price either. There are options such as matinee's, promotional days, and discounted tickets from Costco, jobs, or schools.

There are always gonna be issues with other people. We can only control ourselves and not others. This fact doesn't keep me away from a B&M where sommeone might be smoking a stinky cigarette or dog rocket next to me. To each his own though. Personally, the theater experience is worth it to me once every other month or so.

You are right, Mario. Most movies are fine for home viewing.
But I seem to always have a theater seat in front someone who insists on yakking thru the movie and/or kicking my chair.

I do hate when that happens Peter. Even though I'm fairly gentle at 6'4 a sharp look after a polite request usually helps things though. I don't mind quite as much for children's flicks though.

Once again, I agree. However, I am only 5'7 so I only have the polite request and annoyed glare to work with. As for the children's movies, I expect the chatter. It's part of the enjoyment.

Note to self: Find out pnoon's shoe size and send him some platforms and pepper spray for his movie nights.

The platform shoes would be put to good use. Guys like you always manage to sit right in front of me.

Peter, you could douse yourself with cologne and smoke a Nub right before you go in... might create a clear zone around you.

Apparently, it's either not strong enough or not reliable enough to give you some peace and quiet in a movie theater. Try adding some lentils, barley, or brussel sprouts to your diet
