Today, we went to see Public Enemies at a noon showing. We were the only people under retirement age in the theater. Never again.

BUZZ
BUZZ
BUZZ
BUZZ
First we had the guy whose hearing aid was shorting out and buzzing so loudly that 20 feet away, you could hear it.
Then his wife is telling him, "Your hearing aid is buzzing." No response.
"Your hearing aid is BUZZZING." No response.
"YOUR HEARING AID IS BUZZING!"
"What?"
"TURN OFF YOUR HEARING AID!"
"IT"S NOT ON!"

OMFG.

Then we had people talking loudly to each other.
"What's he saying?"
"Who?"
"That guy."
"What guy?"
"The guy from the Pirates movie!"
"Who?"
"Jack."
"There's no Jack in this movie."
"The guy who played Jack in that movie."
"What movie?"
"The pirate movie."
"This isn't a pirate movie, this is a gangster movie."
"I KNOW THAT! But what is he saying?"
"Who?'

OMFG it's Abbott and Costello's WHo's on First but not so funny.


THen we had the guy who feels it's right and proper to not only answer his ringing cellphone in the movie, but proceeds to have a lengthy and -- of course -- loud conversation on it.
Audience reaction after five minutes of this:
"HEY! Stop talking!"
Guy keeps on talking.
"Take it out to the lobby!"
Guy keeps on talking.
"STop it!"
Guy keeps on talking.
"YOU! STop it!"
Guy keeps on talking.
"GO outside!"
Guy keeps on talking.
Finally, someone got up and sat next to the guy and tries to talk to him. Guy ignores him. At this point, it looks like a head might end up on a pike. The person trying to talk to him actually has to poke him -- yes, poke him, until he put away his phone.

OMFG

And they say teenagers are rude with their behavior? Lies, lies, lies.

I've never once been to a movie with teenagers (and given that I have a teen dd, I've been to lots) where people were yelling at a teenager to stop talking on their cell phone.

Unfreaking believable.
