Netflicks or DVDs for me.

I've gotten a little cranky at times... at one showing recently, I lost my shit over this dim idiot in front of us who had paid perfectly good money to admit herself to a movie she had no desire to see... she was way more interested in textin' every 60 seconds or so, using her freakin' 39 inch iPad or tablet or whatever... and, she apparently had lousy eyesight, because in order to read the f'n thing she had to hold it UP UP UP... up HIGH in order to see dat thang.
I was patient for the first 20 times, but lost it shortly after. Sure, I COULD have politely asked for her to please respect the viewing conditions of other moviegoers, but from her actions with the 1/4 acre of tablet, and her loud banter with her friend, I just had a feeling that the subtle approach wasn't going to be effective. So sue me... I stood up, and loudly demanded that she put the f'n thing away right g'd now.
There were a few "amens" from behind, and a few "oh- my- God, that- guy- is- a- lunatic!"s too.
But that freak DID put her personal movie screen away, and the rest of the movie was viewable by all.
She made sure to scream obscenities and wave her middle finger around out in the parking lot. I let her have that one, being no longer concerned with her.
But, yeah, that's how going to the movies often is these days. Talking, kicking the seats (I ALWAYS sit in the back row, mostly to avoid that), cell phones and tablets waving around, people who stink, and even things being thrown. My kids were being pelted with popcorn a while back, and if I had been able to figure out who was getting off on wrecking a movie- going experience for two little kids, I would have ripped their heads off and shit down their necks. Don't piss a dad off, especially not this one. But, it was impossible to figure out the source of said popcorn.
I getcha, Angrybird...
