Mine was probably when I saw Argo simply because the woman behind me and my mom was telling the guy next to her everything that was happening though he kept saying "I know" and " I see it". I wanted to deck her one but that'd make me the rude one. You'd think one wouldn't be stupid enough to not realize that someone is stapling papers when it's on the screen, but apparently this lady thought we were all very stupid.

Decking her would fall under "assault" as opposed to "rude", but I get the gist of it. A firm "Shhhhhhh!" or even turning and asking them to please be quiet so you can enjoy the movie you paid for would have been acceptable. Who cares if that comes across as rude to an idiot who can't keep their mouth shut, not like you would ever see these people again.

Same. As much as I love Riddick, I cant justify the $30 it will cost for my wife and I to go

Custom/Tradition/Show of Appreciation

Screenwriters will ask "was there any applause during the credits?".

I find it kinda weird to claim that people paying for something is an "entitlement" issue.

I hate going to the movies. I hate all the obnoxious teens that talk and text through the whole thing.

And for the record, I buy my shiz on DVD. For less than $20. And watch it numerous times.

This. Maybe if those teens paid for tickets with their hard earned cash, well...maybe they'd appreciate the movie AND respect their surroundings? Nope, n/m. My age group does the same damned thing. I do still enjoy the weekend movie experience, just not as much as when I was....say 15.
