Time for me to lay down some laws. Let me add that these rules do not apply to escapist big budget blockbusters. Those are supposed to be fun movies and people are allowed to clap and have a good time. But for serious dramas here are the rules:
1. Do not bring your small children/babies into the movie. I do not care if you cannot find or afford a babysitter. You should have thought about that before you had a child. Fun date night are over or at best significantly curtailed.
2. Do not make any sort of sigh or exclamation during the film. No one cares to hear you add a "whoa!" or a "jjjeeeeeeeeezzzzz!" or a subtle "oh man!"
3. Good hygiene is a must.
4. Do not dig in your popcorn bag during important and quiet parts of a movie. During "No Country for Old Men" I had to hear people with their hand jammed into their popcorn bag fondling the kernels for the whole movie.
5. Do not go to movies that you know are going to offend you beforehand. Nothing is more embarrassing than seeing someone self righteously storm out of a movie theatre due to adult content. Do some research or loosen up. Once you buy the ticket you have already made a financial contribution to the film.
