Why do people insist on talking during a movie? Now, by talking I don’t mean little comments here and there, whispered to the adjacent friend. By talking I mean laughing and holding conversations and playing with glowing cellphones and walking back and forth and kicking feet up and finding ways to make my blood boil. That’s the sort of talking I’m talking about. Last night I was put in the (un)fortunate position of complaining to the theater staff about a group of degenerates who wouldn’t quit talking. The manager eventually came inside and spoke to them and they ceased from speaking throughout the rest of the film.
There were moments when my heart was pounding so hard out of anger that I was sure my brother could hear it next to me. It’s a very difficult task to upset me. Looks like some people have been doing their homework.
I was in Canada last year with some friends and we were watching “50 First Dates” in the theatre, and a very fat man with his wife were sitting directly behind us. About a quarter into the film, the guy fell asleep and starting snoring so loudly, it vibrated our seats. I’m not overexaggerating. And we looked at his wife and she was asleep too and apparently, she was so used to the snoring, that she couldn’t wake up to tell her husband to quit snoring like a angry bear. So we had to sit there, making coughing noises in hopes to make them wake up, because it was so awful. We didn’t want to turn around and touch one of them. We just wanted them to wake up on their own… Which they did… About 20 minutes after the first initial snoring began.
If you’re THAT TIRED, don’t go to a movie. And if you’re THAT SOCIALABLE, like the degenerates you talked about, then just wait for the movie to come out to rent! Then you can watch it in your own home and be as obnoxious as you want while you watch.
The end.
Pfft… Canadians.
oh man, i thught i was the only one who gets that made that i feel like i’m gonna explode. cory and i went to the movies once and there was this couple sitting right next to us making out like CRAZY! it was disgusting and i was so mad and so annoyed. i tried getting cory to stare them down along with me, but he wouldn’t, and so without his courage i did nothing as well. i wanted to just ask them to just please stop, ‘cause it was insane. one day, though .. one day, i will have the courage to speak up and ask someone to stop making out/talking/kicking my chair! and i’ll ask nicely! and they’ll feel bad! bwahaha!
