I never snuck into a movie as a kid, but this did remind me of one time when I went to see "Anywhere but Here" with my cousin - we were about 12 at the time, and we thought the movie was so bad/absurd we couldn't stop cackling and talking throughout. Right before the end of the movie, a woman in one of the seats in front of us (seeing the movie with her own kid, around the same age as we were) turned around and cursed us out. Like *really* let us have it. I like to think I've been pretty good at controlling my volume level at the movies ever since.

I don't think that I ever had an unpleasant confrontation with other audience members, but ushers would often be adversarial, especially when catching me with the "wrong" ticket while watching "something else." Good times.
