THIS is my biggest gripe. The last few times I've been to a movie I've had to deal with the "just here to hang out" crowd. They don't shut up. I went to complain during Gone Girl and was told "they'll quit soon, it (the movie) should pick up soon." WTF?!

4. Prices are ridiculous

Honestly, if I can go see a good movie for $20 for 2 people, I don't mind paying. We can usually get out for under $40 with drinks/kern and tickets. That being said, what I am willing to pay is DRASTICALLY reduced when I'm dealing with assholes in the fricking theater. When you add managers that don't care you may as well count me out.
