this was the MOST interactive movie I have ever been to, besides Rocky Horror. I don't normally cotton to people talking during a movie either, but during F 9/11, I heard loud gasping, "Oh my GOD"s (loads of them), "WHOOOO"s, amens, and one very loud "WHAT THE FUCK?". And of course ROARING laughter that went on so long in some cases, you could barely make out Moore's commentary when it continued. It was one of the loudest movies, audience-wise, I have seen in recent history. And that includes when I went to see the third Harry Potter movie in June and a group of rabid HP fans who had apparently imbibed in some Wild Turkey first started shouting "HAR-RY! HAR-RY!" during the opening credits of that movie. After that they piped down. Those crazy Harry Potter people. LOL!

Oh and PS there's no excuse for kicking someone's chair. I have been in movies where someone's comments were loud enough and often enough to truly distract and you simply say "shhhh!" or lean over and ask them, very politely, to lower their voice so you can enjoy the movie. If they get all hostile, it's not as if you were being ugly or anything. That's when you get an usher. But kicking the back of a chair is unacceptable.
