rm | dear patrons of the pioneer theatre,

I know it feels like your living room. I know that many of you probably have TVs bigger than the screen. And, I know that you're really cool and into indie film and all and so much above it all, BUT there are a few simple things I ask of you.

First, choose a seat, and stay in it. If you feel the need to change seats, please do so before the film begins. If you cannot manage this, at least just change seats _once_ during the film. Certainly, if nothing else, you can refrain from giggling like a pair of inept bullies desperately trying to disrupt a game of musical chairs while the film is in progress.

And please, don't laugh during Medea. It just doesn't work. There were a few moments where I understood the impulse, believe you me, but giggling throughout the entire film, pausing only to eat popcorn and make out, NOT ACCEPTABLE.

Thank you.
