We had the 'sleeper' next to us. I kept watching to see if he was still breathing or in need of CPR. In front of us was 'ants-in-his-pants' who got in and out of his seat a dozen times. I'm 'Linda Blair' at the movies. My head is constantly spinning to watch all the children while still watching the movie. We went to Pirates last night. We had the ’sleeper’ next to us.

I knew I had a fairly thorough list, but there's always room for improvement. However I must say I've never encountered a Sleeper. Thanks for the additions, Cathy.

Although, I think the wiggler is just a variation on the kicker. Yeah, we did forget the sleeper and the wiggler. Although, I think the wiggler is just a variation on the kicker.

What did you think of the movie? I thoroughly enjoyed it! So did you guys brave the credits and watch the final scene? What did you think of the movie? I thoroughly enjoyed it!

This person is probably also 'The Prostate Problem' making several trips to the bathroom.

As a male of "a certain age." I object ot this!! “This person is probably also ‘The Prostate Problem’ making several trips to the bathroom.”

It wasn't as good as the first one, but sequels rarely are. We stayed for the last scene, which is why I'm so bitchy about The Reader. I swear to Allah she read every name out loud. I got up twice to pee during the movie, but I have no prostate. So I guess I would just be The Pee-er. Or Bladder McPeesalot. Take your pick. That's why I always try to sit at the end of a row.

Sun, 23 Jul 2006 00:01:34 +0000 http://www.atomictumor.com/2006/07/22/the-movie-theater-experience/#comment-897 I recently encountered The Questioner at the Walk The Line movie - What's he doing? Is that Elvis? Why did he do that? That didn't really happen in real life did it?? As for The Talker, some years back a group of us went to a movie (it wasn't any good) but some dude behind us was talking about everything imaginable. After five or six minutes of this, one of my friends stretched his arms up high and very slowly dropped them down, finally linking his fingers behind his neck and sticking his arms out like they were wings. The Talker leaned forward almost immediately and said "Hey! I can't see!!" And my friend casually turned around and said "Then we're even. I can't hear."

Bos and I encountered a pair of gawky, awkward pre-teens who sloppily made out constantly during The Corpse Bride. Bos notes that it doesn't have to be pre-teens, that any age group is equally annoying. We also happened upon a Sleeper at Cars. It was actually a little odd - he was an older man, there alone. Sleeping. He woke up at some point prior to the end of the movie and left. He snored very loudly before his departure.

This is the geezer that yells every comment and feels the need to comment often. The missus just remembered another wonderful example. This is the "definitely not gay duo." You know, it's the two guys who sit together, but with an empty seat between them. The one that really annoys me is a subset of “The Talker”.

I had forgotten about the Definitely Not Gay Duo. I've seen some of them around. Are guys so insecure about their sexuality that they can't sit close to one another? It's been a really long time since I've encounter (or been part of) the make-out crowd at a movie, so I forgot to add them in. I think that your subset of the Talker can be amusing at the right times, Bos. Such as during a crappy, scary movie. There's nothing quite like some guy yelling at the actor not to go upstairs. Joe, AT and I reluctantly saw Titanic, during which some smug asshole talked to a couple of younger girls he was with. Finally fed up, AT leaned over and asked "Can you please shut up for five minutes?" The guy did, and then later apologized in the men's restroom. I have elbowed a Talker and told him if he didn't STFU I would get a manager to escort him out. That worked pretty well. Ha! I had forgotten about the Definitely Not Gay Duo.

I had a talker in Cars with me, an older lady with her young daughter, and while I didn't tell her to shut up, as children were present on both sides, I did throw a bunch of glare at her. Of course, it didn't work. I like telling people to shut up.
