Went to see Nemesis tonight with my equally-geeky-but-much-more-gorgeous-than-me friend. It was a packed house, of course, and it was your usual Trekker crowd, giggling at the in-jokes and wiping away tears at the sad parts(I’m a sappy geek, what can I say?).
Except for the shithead teenagers who apparently decided that they wanted to TALK THROUGH THE WHOLE FUCKING MOVIE! Not just talk through the movie, but make FUN of people in the movie. What the fuck? You pay TEN DOLLARS to bust on geeks? Why didn’t you just go to Penn Station and pick on the homeless people? Or head out to the street and give the mentally handicapped shit? At least those activities would have been free.
I just don’t get it. And I probably would have been more pissed had the movie not sucked rocks.
It could’ve been better. Seriously. My gorgeous geek friend loved it, I just wanted to grab the scriptwriter and yell “What the FUCK were you thinking???”
You know, I hate when this happens. It’s not even solely teenagers who do this.
I don’t know when the trend started, but it seems like more and more people are treating the theater as though it was their house. It aggravates me to no end. It’s like; why the FUCK did you come here if you weren’t able to sit through the plot? I’ve seen four-year-olds who were able to sit through an hour and a half better than your stupid ass.
Cripes, the situation is so bad that I don’t go to movies much anymore. When I do, I make sure it’s at a time when very few people are going to be there.
For example: I’m going to see LOTR: TTTs this Wednesday, as early as possible. I’m afraid some idiot will end up on his cellphone, so I have to go when the theater opens…
I’ve stopped complaining because nothing ever seems to happen. I sat in front of a guy in Moulin Rouge who hated the movie, and apparently decided that no one else could enjoy it either, so he sat there giving a running commentary on the whole thing. When my roommate complained, the usher shrugged and said “He paid his money, too”.
I challenge you all to go see a movie at Union Station in DC on a Friday night. Experience the audience’s quiet appreciation of the plot. Truly amazing.
I have and do complain. It doesn’t make the movie any better. All I usually get out of it is another ticket. To see a movie with a bunch more yelling people. I’ve talked to the people themselves, and what has that gotten me? Some yelling matches, almost a fight, and loud scorn from whomever I complained to.
Try yelling very loud, so that everyone hears you and the person is embarrassed enough to shut up. Sometimes it works. And, because everyone is by then looking, the person who has been a jerk is normally inclined to shut up rather than start a fight.
Overall, I thought it was bad (sucking rocks is bad:D ). My friend, however, loved it. We even had a discussion about that ‘every other one is good’ theory, and I think the theory went to hell with this one.
It could just be me, though. I thought it was way too dark and it just wasn’t written very well. Then again, I liked Insurrection, so what do I know? (Although nothing will ever stand up to First Contact).
I had a loudmouth jerk thrown out of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. He was running his mouth through the whole movie in a really loud voice, fancying himself Crow T. Robot or something. During the scene with Aragog the spider, a woman next to me told the guy to shut up, upon which he retorted, “Shut your fucking mouth, bitch!” Interestingly, her boyfriend did nothing to defend her honor. I got up, went to the lobby, asked for the manager, who then came with me and asked me to point out the miscreant. The manager then tossed out the jerk and his two buddies. After the movie ended, the woman and her boyfriend thanked me.
There’s a place and a time for Mystery Science Theater behavior. An actual movie theater is NOT one of those places, unless you’re seeing Rocky Horror.
This is exactly why I refuse to go to the movies with my mum now. She’s the one everyone hates…“What did he just do?”…“Is he the one that said blah-blah at the start?”…“What did she just say?”…“oh I like her house/dress/husband”
Please, please, please IF you hear this woman at the movies have her thrown out…cause whoever she is with is cringing with shame and pretending they can’t hear a word she says!
(“shhhhhhhh mum! people are getting pissed off” doesn’t work!..it just makes her cranky on the way home. NEVER EVER again!!!)
