I Despise the Theatre

So last night, Michael and I went to see Match Point. I totally recommend the movie. Usually, I would not go to a movie on a Saturday night at primetime due to the fools who make the movie theater into an intolerable space by using it as a platform to project their opinions of said movie. However, I was trying to avoid falling asleep before 10 pm. I will fall asleep with the greatest of ease at home on my couch; it is a narcoleptic death trap!

Anyway, the experience of going to a movie theater on a Saturday night sustained all my past fears. First, there are the talkers. We had a non-stop conversation going on across the aisle to our right. Why would you pay $10 to see a movie and then talk the whole time? Idiots! Then behind us there was a woman whose only reaction to the screen was "oh shit." The best part of seeing this particular movie in the theater was the laughter during the sexual scenes. These scenes were pretty sensual and not comic as far as I could tell (although, that isn't always the case in Woody Allen movies). So now I'm back to only seeing movies in the theater during the week when most people are at work or in school. Thank you Fools for ruining my movie!
