or two...
First off, and this isn't that recent, but it still bugs me. I hate people leaving when the movie isn't over yet! You know what I mean, the credits are still rolling and boom, people leave! There's still content! If the file when read by a computer can't tell that it's the end, then we humans must obey and not, um, LEAVE when the credits are rolling, so there! I KNOW I don't make sense, but these pretzels are making me THIRSTY! Seriously, it's gotten so bad that the lights are going on now as soon as the credits hit! That's just bad! Some of us still want the nice lighting to watch the rest of the movie, in the hopes that something special awaits us after the credits (and in the case of a few trilogies I won't name, something does), plus the music is nice so listen to it you jerks!
Okay, that's not that bad, here's the REAL epidemic I'm talking about. People CLAPPING at a MOVIE! Who started this? What kind of retard did this in such a way as to get it to catch on? Was this retard friends with some actor or something? What is WRONG with people? Not only is clapping a generally annoying sound to boot (laughing and gasping are theater ambiance that are great and half the reason I watch movies in theaters, but clapping is an annoyingly distracting sound), it has no POINT to it! No one is HEARING you give this thanks you idiots! Don't clap! Clapping is only for live performance, not anything else ever! Soon enough mad catz will release a special controller accesory that allows a person to continue playing a game WHILE clapping at it like a moron, that's how much it's spread recently!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
