I went to see Memoirs of a Geisha last week and a woman across the aisle from me was eating something crunchy froma crinkly plastic bag. I can only assume she was eating with her mouth open, as my inital thought that she had brought a microphone in with her was pretty unlikely.

I wanted to go up to her at the end and mention that she had spoiled the whole film for me with her noise, but accepted that perhaps I was in the wrong. I know the sound of other people eating drives me crazy, and I know the cinema does everything it can to encourage you to watch and eat at the same time. I'm going to have to accept that I'm better off watching films on DVD.
