10 Annoying Types of People in the Movie Theater

2. The Boys' Night Out Gang

Yes. I'm guilty. I have friends. And, I'll admit, there's no excuse for us to act like rowdy, ignorant idiots. I considered adding ladies to this list, but I've got to be honest here. Normally, when I see a gaggle of girls get together for a movie, they're either normally very attentive (good) or texting (bad). Guys tend to take attentiveness a bit too far. Is it a "safety in numbers" thing? Why do boys find it permissible to shout "KRAKKKKEN!" with exuberant joy during the newest Clash of the Titans? The rest of the audience is watching the same movie you are, guys, and there's nothing to be that excited over. But when guys get together, even guys who all love movies, the tide can turn from respected spectating to in-line-to-see-Santa-next in a flash. You're bound to see a Boys' Night Out Gang eventually, and they're a massive version of point number 3 (The Blatantly Disrespectful), and the best thing to do is alert those who work in the theater. And I'm sorry.

Cameron Carpenter is an aspiring screenwriter, current film and journalism student, and self-diagnosed cinephile, which only sounds bad in certain circles. Devoted fan of comics, movies, theater, Jesus Christ, Sidney Lumet, and Peter O'Toole, he sometimes spends too much time on his Scribd and comicbookmovie.com, but doesn't think you're one to judge, devoted reader. You can follow him on Twitter to watch him talk to people you didn't know exist. Oh, and Daredevil is quite the big deal around here (my head).
