Depends what film, and what time of day you go.
I've only had a problem once. I went with a girl to see AI. (If you ever
get the chance, DO NOT bother watching this miserable piece of crap.)
Some kid behind us was playing with explosives. They actually stopped
the film and turned all the lights back on while the police removed them.
Great way to get into a girl's knickers, that one. >_<

Maybe I'm a bit more removed from adolescence. But I know what you mean
because that's how I feel about "The Office".

Not seen/heard her.

I think you mean, "mum, I'm 30 years old and I'll be home whenever I
damned well feel like it".

Oh, don't even get me started thinking about actually seeing her knickers...
Ah, the memories of shattered dreams.

"Fewer", you mean? (Odd that an American has to teach English to a Brit
<gd&rvvf>)
But yes, I know what you mean - I do wish we had fewer breaks, but it
seems that now out of an hour, we get about 43 minutes of actual
programming. Used to be closer to 50 minutes.

Even worse is when they start one show over the credits of another. If
I'm recording a programme, how am I supposed to get the whole thing if
you start EARLY?

Recent experience suggests that it's not good. We went to see Tron
Legacy and there was a group of half a dozen teens who came in late and
then talked through the entire film. Not in whispers, either, but in
normal voices. I was tempted multiple times to loudly suggest that they
take their conversation outside, or to ask for reimbursement for my
tickets, because I hadn't paid to listen to them gab through the whole
film.
