Yesterday, after working for days on end, I had a day off. I decided to treat my younger sister to the movies. After a while, we decided on The Dark Knight. I had seen it four times before and had to convince her to go. Then, we decided to pick up my girlfriend (yes. I have a girlfriend now. I'm staying away from guys for a while.) and her younger sister.
Seriously, you have no idea what kind of treat this was for me. I had been working long hours and my best friend had left a few days before for college. I had just received the biggest paycheck I have ever gotten in my three years on the jobforce. I just wanted to enjoy an amazing movie with my girl,my sister, and a friend.
There was a bunch of kids sitting in the way back, just chatting. I didn't care so much during the previews. When the movie started, they would not stop talking or laughing loudly. The people two rows ahead of me looked back at them after a bit. You could tell they were getting ticked. After a while, I decided that enough was enough. I don't mind a comment here and there if it's whispered, but all that loud chattering and giggling was ruining the movie.
I put my napkin of popcorn on the empty seat beside me and went up the stairs a few rows to the kids.
Oh my gosh! They didn't even look old enough to purchase a ticket for a PG-13 movie! They sure didn't act like it.
I whispered "Hey. Could y'all keep it down? We are trying to enjoy the movie."
They said sure, but when I turned around, they were making weird,immature sounds and said "No you're not."
As I walked back to my seat, the people sitting directly behind me mimed clapping while looking at me.
The noises continued from them and I felt popcorn hit my back and head every once in a while. They even hit my girlfriend with popcorn! As I was about to go back up there to give them a piece of my mind, the guy sitting behind me got up and left the theatre. I knew what he was going to do. I bet you anything that they had some popcorn hit them and they were sick of the talking.
Sure enough, an usher came up and talked with them.
That usher kept coming back more often than they usually do and watched the back row.
The kids decided to walk around until they reached the very front rows and stayed there.
Funny thing was, there were two very young children (couldn't have been older than three) who acted so much better than they did. I only heard a peep out of the little ones twice. One time, they needed to go potty and the second time, the girl was going to cry because the Joker yelled "Look at me!!" The little girl and boy looked so cute in their Batman garb!

A little Dark Knight won't kill 'em, just put the fear of Mr. Ledger in 'em.
