okay, so I'm weird about movies

kjpepperNow granted I am a lot better about this now than I used to be, mostly because I associate with some pretty impatient people, but once upon a time I was compulsive about staying in my seat for the entire length of a movie to the point where my niece and nephew wouldn't go to the movies will me because I'd force them to sit through the credits.
I realize that this is a quirk particular to me (or is it?), and again, I'm better about it than I used to be. But even though I can now get up and leave as the credits are rolling (and will, considering the end credits always seem to correspond to a bus leaving) I still feel horribly guilty about it. Somehow when I was really young I got it into my head that it was beyond rude to all the people that worked on the movie to not stay. Yeah, I know, they don't know about it what do they care, right? Still feel guilty about it. Course, I'm also the person that will sit and hold it for an entire movie rather than get up to go pee. No, seriously, I nearly wet myself at the end of Attack of the Clones. That AND I get real pissy if I'm in any way late for a movie. I don't care if there are 15 minutes of commercials and trailers at the beginning, I LIKE TRAILERS. Yeah. I really don't like sitting down for a movie after it's started.
Of course, this compulsion is occasionally rewarded - I can sit and feel extremely smug about not missing the extra hit with the geek bat at the end of Iron Man while everyone else is all "WAIT I MISSED SOMETHING???" Why yes yes you did, and if you had stayed to acknowledge David Klotz's contribution to the movie in the department of music editing, maybe you wouldn't have, lol.**
**okay, though I admit that the only reason we stuck around last night is cause![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
morlock knew there was an extra at the end and told us to stay.
