Warning, PDA and TMI...              A movie on tv is bad if you change the channel.              It's even worse if you're in a movie theatre which you've       paid to enter and you walk out.              Now... imagine just how bad it's got to be if you and       a significant other are at a drive-in and, well, looking       forward to the next couple of hours...              and then 15 or so minutes into the show, putting the car       into gear and driving away.              Yeah.
