I was browsing youtube today and I found this video, figured I would share it and then tell yall a story or two that has happened to me at my local theater.
I have two stories for yall but before I get to that, let me tell you another problem I am having with movie theaters as a whole. that problem is all the annoying commercials before the trailers; there are far less commercials on basic tv than in theaters now and that is sad. In fact there are less trailers nowadays and more commercials before a movie and what really makes me mad is that we are already paying between 12 to 25 dollars a ticket depending on rather the movie is in Imax or not, we should not have to pay that much only than to be subjected to commercials on top of that cost. Now two quick stories. the first one was when my wife and I went to see the gift. there was a group of middle aged white women behind me that were literally talking about their day throughout every trailer before the movie started. I finally sighed really hard and was about to say something when my wife turns around and says to them and I quote, "listen here we are here to watch this movie not hear about your day, if you cant keep quite I will go get an usher. she then looks at me and whispers I got your back baby, I know movies are like a religious experience for you." I have never been more in love at that moment lol. story two was when I was seeing The Martian, the theater was packed and I had a woman in her early 20s next to me who decided it was ok to sit cross legged in her seat so that her knee was on top of my leg and not only was that ok but it was also ok for her to bounce her legs the entire time causing her seat and mine to shake like a roller coaster. after about 35 minutes I finally said something and she looked appalled that I would dare call her out on her bad behavior but at least she stopped. the funny part was she was either with her boyfriend or on a date, because the guy sitting next to her mouthed to me that he was so sorry. In reality I felt sorry for him because he was dating her lol.
what about yall what have you experienced this can be like therapy for us ha ha
