Come on! Get on the stick! The guy who begins having a loud conversation with his buddy at a movie neither of them want to be at, and who acts like he's ready to "throw down" when asked if he and his friend could quiet down. The one who answers the cellphone they left on, only to have a loud conversation like this: “Hello?...No I can’t talk right now…No, I’m at the movies…No, it’s pretty good so far…” etc… The posse of young wannabe drug addicts/Velvet Revolver lookalikes who realize that they're not watching the movie they expected and subsequently decide to take it out on the 'jerks' who have the nerve to enjoy the film. Luckily they have sweet lookin' military hats, so they still appear supercool as they angrily shamble out of the screening an hour later. The wise guy with the… laser pointer??? What is this, 1989???
