I just have to bump this to complain about more rude people in theatres. Last night I saw War of the Worlds and we had 3 bumpkins with a combined IQ of broccoli sitting in front of us. One of them was constantly amazed by the most obvious of plot developments; after having seen the references to EMP pulses affecting electronic devices, he was amazed when cars stopped working, and he had to let everyone in the theatre know that he was able to recognize blood onscreen. He also kept stretching his arms over his head and hitting my fiancee in the knee. You'd think he would have stopped after the first time, but apparently his IQ was so low he couldn't recognize his own sense of touch. 
Some friends of mine had an even worse experience at the same movie the previous night. The couple in front of them actually got threatening when asked to stop looking at a photo on their cell phone screen during the film. Don't people realize how distracting it is to have that bright light glaring in a darkened theater? Why can't they just wait until the movie is over to look at the picture?
Why should we pay $20 to have people be rude to us while we're trying to enjoy ourselves?
