For the past couple of nights beginning at the midnight premier of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, I've been running about in costume assisting my local medieval theatre group in raising money for the Stars of Hope Foundation. Our basic job was to show up in Harry Potter costumes and perform shortly before the beginning of each film, asking a small donation from the audience. People were generous and that was wonderful. The worst part was when I took a break to sit down and actually watch the movie in between 'shows'.
Well, as the opening credits rolled, two or three very obnoxious people came in. There were two men and two women and both of the women had very very LARGE hairstyles and chose to sit in the front. That's okay. That's not too bad. The worst part was when one of the men began TALKING to the characters. He began yelling obscenities at the top of his lungs at the screen, making snide comments about genders and sex and making a general nuisance of himself. Since I was working there that night, it was supremely irritating since I wasn't sure I would get to see the film again.
Several audience members yelled for him to shut up, but he persisted until the end of the film.
