Pirates of the Caribbean, part Deux

[Griselda]

Finally coughed up the cash and got out of the house. The crowd was better than usual. There was only one crying baby, one kid asking questions (directly behind me), and the largest, tallest people in the theater sat right in front of us.

If that's a "good" audience, it sounds like your town has a partucularly unpleasant movie-watching crowd. :angry: Maybe it's worth the drive to another theater* if that's standard for your hometown?

* Before the new theater opened in our town, we used to drive 45 minutes to see movies in the theater with comfortable stadium seating and good sound, rather than go to the uncomfortable, crackly sound, sticky floor Theater Near Us. Of course, we don't watch a lot of movies, so it's not like we were driving out of town every weekend or something.
