Going Where No Nerd Has Gone Before!

Hubby and I went to see the new (er) Star Trek movie last night, at the cheap theater. Yes, the same cheap theater where we'd previously had to deal with the phone-lady. We sat in our seats, and a family consisting of a man and two teenage daughters sat right in front of us. The two teens had a digital camera, which they used to take a plethora of FLASH photos of themselves. After about the 14th flash I was ready to tell them to ram it, but luckily they turned it off when the previews started.

As the movie started, a very large man pushed past us to sit one chair away from me. Nothing like having ass in your face as someone shoves past you! He sat down and sprawled out, resting his arm on the chair next to me. Any time I moved significantly, he'd look over and stare. (Throughout the entire movie!) For the next 2.5 hours, this guy was obnoxious! He would repeat dialogue as if he were learning lines. After awhile hubby and I started saying, "Nannoo Nanoo!" whenever a Vulcan character would give the sign. At one point I was nudging hubby to look; onscreen Spock was giving the Vulcan sign and saying, "Live long and prosper!" and the guy was sitting there with his hand extended, giving the sign BACK TO THE SCREEN! I almost wet my pants laughing, hubby made an exclamation when he saw the guy do it, neither one of us could believe what we were seeing, and both agreed that had we NOT seen it ourselves, we would not have believed it coming from someone else! It was very hard for either of us to stop laughing.
At one point the guy wadded up some trash, looked around to see if anyone was looking, and then threw it over towards the side aisle where others were sitting. I was tempted to retrieve it and hand it back to him and tell him Mr. Spock told me to. What a loser.
