For me, it's not just the talkers. Well, mainly it is, but I specifically remember this one movie I went to several years ago (actually, I don't even remember which movie it was, just my experience at the theater) - there was this person behind me who was chewing gum, and it just seemed so annoyingly obnoxious to me. I know that's so ridiculous, but I felt like the gum-chewing was driving me crazy! I remember mentioning it to my friend after the movie, and she was like "oh, I didn't really notice". I guess it's just my "distractability" problem....

> Someone said to me once that it wasn't until after VCRs became so commonplace that people started really talking in movie theaters - because they were used to being able to talk during movies at home with no one being bothered. I don't know how true that is, as I don't remember much about movies pre-VCRs, but it does seem to have some merit.

Yeah, it probably does have merit. Also, because movies have become so common as well, they aren't the special treat that they used to be and people just don't appreciate going now in the way that people back in the early days of movies did.

But, I'll tell you something else - it does bother me when people talk and talk when watching movies at home. Or tv. I mean, sure, a comment here and there is fine, and of course I do that too, but I get annoyed if people are having some whole conversation. At least at home, you can stop it and watch it later or rewind or whatever.
