Movie Theaters Suck

I truly believe that people in the theatre think that the people in the movie can hear them. They sit and yell at the screen anticipating an action as result of their obnoxious banter. I used to think this only happened in horror movies until I went to the movies with my family today. The horror was not in the movie but in my eyes as I sat and listened to the four women next to me disrupt the entire movie theater with their comments and demands. I thought the old couple behind us were gonna beat every last one of them over the heads with their canes. They refrained. I would not have been so patient. Oh, I did not mention that the movie was at 11 in the morning, not a time when people are the happiest..especially me. Thankfully, Hugh Grant was there to lift my spirits. Hugh's is a face I do not mind seeing and a voice I do not mind hearing before noon. In case you were wondering we were seeing Did you Hear About the Morgans? at the Rave, best theaters ever. It was better than I expected and Sarah Jessica Parker successfully played someone other than Carrie Bradshaw of Sex and the City, one of my other loves. It is hard for me to admit that she isn't actually Carrie Bradshaw, but for 103 minutes I forgot. So, well done. Well, anyways, this isn't a movie review..anymore. Back to the subject, I would just like to make a public announcement to all: Please do not speak, touch plastic, laugh uncontrollably, text message, do anything on an Iphone, or sneeze too much in the theater. Well that last one I can let slip since it can't quite be controlled, but it does put into motion the slew of blesses from all the saints in the place which falls under the category of speaking. So really just don't go to the movies if you have allergies or are unhealthy. I hope that one day anyone will read this blog and spread the word because those warning messages before the movie starts sure aren't doing their job. I am going to start making my own announcements before, during, and after the movie. Just to really drill it in. BE AWARE.
