Movie theater etiquette - Chair kicking?

While trying to enjoy the newest Will Ferrel movie the other night, my chair was being kicked repeatedly. Not once, not five times. All together, the tally might have come to twenty. Yes, TWENTY. The first few times, fine, whatever, I turn around and ask her not to kick my chair. She was an adult, I assume of sound mind.

I'm a polite, tolerable person. I asked politely but NO, it continues. I can ignore it until every kick, although subtle, sends a pulse of adrenaline down my spine. I ask again, politely. Always politely. It stops for half an hour but she's doing it again. I want to get up and push her down the lighted stairs, I want to break her disrespectful little neck. But I decide that I don't want to ruin the movie for anybody else so I tolerate it.

After the movie, I want to get up, turn around and unleash a string of esteem-destroying obscenities but they leave about a minute before the movie ends. Cowards.

Now, my question - What is the proper etiquette for chair kicking?

Sorry about your experience. Too bad there's no empty seats behind the kicker. Otherwise, I'd move after a second polite warning to the back of her and start kicking her chair myself. Let her try what it feels like ;)
