I knew there was a reason I stopped going to see movies in theaters. Tonight I went to see We Are Marshall and had my seat repeatedly bumped and/or kicked. Had an idiot in front of us that used his cell phone for either telling time or looking at text messages no less than 5 times along with insisting on eating all the ice in his cup. And then the theater decided that they weren't going to dim the lights until a good 30 minutes into the movie. If you want us to spend money at the theater, make it a better experience.

When I can be at home and watch HD-DVDs on a 60" screen sitting in a couch, drinking whatever I want without someone kicking my chair, without having to worry about lights, without having idiots with cell phones, and with possibly better audio, why go to the theater?

As for the movie, it was a bit slow for the first hour, featured little game footage but lots of emotion, and was just so-so in my opinion. It wasn't horrible, but it definitely isn't really a movie I need to see again. I'll probably go into more depth at a later date.
