Good for those kids for knowing the rating system better than their parents. Those kinds of situations, especially, really point out the "me-first" thinking so prevalent in society these days.

That kid bounding up and down the stairs would have driven you nuts. He was running, and only hitting about half the stairs, shaking the entire theater every time he landed. Really annoying. Dark Knight was phenomenal. See it. Jon, how would you know if their death was loud enough? ;)

The worst was when we went to see The Lord of the Rings and there were two children (8-10) outside the theater begging their father to let them leave, they were too scared to stay any longer. They said, "It's rated PG-13 for a reason, can't we please leave?" and the father said no. He wanted to see the movie, he paid the money and he wasn't leaving. Sadly, his children's comfort and welfare was worth less than $30 to him. I have had similar experiences at the theater and it, too, bothers me!

That includes kids and adults. Although noise from the audience obviously does not bother me, the glow of cell phones being used during the movie, the movement of people going to and from their seats, etc. does bother me. And any person who kicks the back of my seat during a movie deserves to die in a loud, grotesque manner. From what I've heard, The Dark Knight is so unbelievably good that even the most annoying people generally shut up, sit still, and watch it the entire way through. Unfortunate about that little girl, though. Yeah, not a fan of anyone who sees going to the movie theater as an interactive experience. That includes kids and adults.
