Grancey and I had an irritating experience at the movies this past weekend so I revived this thread.
We went to see "Children of Men," and really enjoyed it. We both like near-future world-has-collapsed types of movies, so this one was perfect. Except for Beavis and Butthead behind us. Here's an example:
There's a part where the lead character is being threatened by an immigration officer with a handgun. Suddenly, an immigrant runs up behind him and disables the officer with a sledgehammer. During that gripping and suspenseful scene, here's what we hear behind us - "Ooooooh, hyuck hyuck hyuck, dude awesome ooooooh hyuck hyuck dude hyuck oooooh hyuck hyuck dude....."
Kids, right? No, they were college students who were raised on "Jackass" and YouTube wipeout videos. Every single scene of violence in the movie (and there were plenty) was accompanied by "oooooh hyuck hyuck dude awesome oooooh." I can't even begin to imagine what they thought the movie was really about.
