When did it become not okay to laugh out loud at the movies????

Went to see the movie The Hangover this afternoon.  If you haven't seen it, The Hangover is a comedy.

I was laughing out loud during the movie.  You caught that it was a comedy, right?  I may have been laughing loud, but I am from So Cal and have been to Las Vegas more than once, I've driven on that highway, I've been in Las Vegas Wedding chapels a couple of times when a friend decided that was a great place to tie the knot.

The movie resonated with me because of all of the things that I was familiar with, but also because it was funny in a vulgar yet hilarious way.

At the end of the movie we were still sitting watching the credits.  We were the only ones left and the last person to leave stopped and yelled up at us where we were sitting,

"You people really need to watch movies at home.  You were laughing too loud."

When did people get such a stick up their asses?  It was a comedy.  I wasn't talking during the movie, or texting, or being obnoxious in any other way.  I was just laughing at the hilarity on the screen.

Then the lady turned to walk out and my hubby says, "You really need to pull that stick out of your ass lady.  It was a comedy."

I told him to shush.   I didn't want to get into an altercation.   Because she was really talking to me.

But really...come on...did I do something wrong?  I go to movies for the escape.  If something tickles me, I'm not going to put my hand over my mouth and suppress my laughter.

Just checking if protocol has changed and no one sent me the memo.

movies, wtf, rant
