Frustration at the movies ....
Posted by reelsmith. on January 2, 2011 at 09:14:45:
I saw The Fighter last night and the crowd was predominantly 50+ ...very few kids or teenagers ...the audience was quiet all the way through. What a joy !
Rant On
I am so sick and tired of going to movies and watching Blackberry's, iPhones and iPads light up ...I'm tired of listening to cellophane wrappers being taken off candy boxes ...I'm tired of folks shaking their boxes of M&Ms to check if there are any left ...I'm tired of listening to people shaking and playing with their bags of popcorn. Is it really that difficult to silenty extract a piece of popcorn from the bag?!?
What is with folks that chatter constantly while at the movies ...and not about the movie, about shit they can talk about anytime. Wake up folks, its not freakin' Starbucks ...you are at a MOVIE.
When we saw True Grit a fellow actually took his empty popcorn bag, blew it up and popped it. WTF ??
Its gotten to the point where audiences are generally so rude that we will wait until a movie has almost finished its run in hopes of seeing it in an near empty theater so we don't have to put up with folks that think they are on some sort of amusement park ride.
Rant Off
I'd pay double the ticket price to be able to see a movie with complete silence (other than laughter or gasps that are provoked by the movie).
