Sounds like people in Hungary treat the movie theatre like the Groundlings did in Shakespeare's time. Any dog fights down in front? Comely wenches selling oranges? People attacking the screen if they don't like the actor's interpretation? <P>When I lived in L.A., audiences seemed to act just as badly (this was before cell phones, I'm sure it's worse now.)<P>But now I live in the heartland of Ohio, and we are all well-behaved hobbits here. We only make noise at the appropriate moments, don't put our feet up on the seats, and pick up our paper cups when we leave the theatre. <P>It sounds a little boring, but at least you can hear what's going on.
