The name of the movie might be telling.

If I go to a movie it usually is at a place called Shirlington in Arlington, VA. They don't have "punk" movies.

Last year we were watching LoTR: The Return of the King during the premier week when the theater was packed. There was a scuffle in the middle of the film between a rude talker and another viewer. In this case, the rude talker thought he was safe to continue mocking the man who told him to be quiet, and the guy got up and clocked him. Both parties ended up leaving, and it really distracted from the rest of the movie for everyone there.

Shirlington Village is wonderful -- lovely 50's (or 40's?) architecture thoughtfully rehabed. Years ago, after dinner at Bistro, we'd spy on Lorena Bobbitt giving manicures at one of the little shops on our walk to the theatre!

Back home in New York, I knew which theatres to avoid, as such places attracted a "youthful, ethnic" audience that made attending movies an unpleasent experience. Anyway, such people tend to be attracted to films like "Anaconda" and "Twister" which I avoid like the plague anyway.
