Sooo cute! My mom once bought me tickets to see Ben Folds and Rufus Wainwright and we saw them together... It was awesome. :)

If I go, there is going to be some weirdo that is going to do something that freaks me out (I lived near Atlanta WAY too long ), or someone is going to be talking during the film, or texting during the film (seriously WTF? why would someone do that?). So having him there calms me down, and makes it less likely that I will end up being locked up by the end of the night. Haha. This is why I prefer watching films in the comfort of my own home.
I actually find myself confronted with the same problem: I focus more on the audience than I do at the movie at times to the point where I can't enjoy the movie. It's actually something that I'm trying to get over, but I find that if we go out for drinks first (not get drunk, mind you), I become a little less sensitive.

But I just don't understand a culture of people who think it's appropriate to talk during movies, because it's not. My boyfriend and his family are like that, and it drives me crazy.

Rod - That movie house sounds incredible. There are some good art house cinemas around in Boston (Coolige Corner and Brattle Street Theater), but the movies are generally more expensive. I'll have to investigate them, though, as they generally host older movies, which is a great experience).
