10 Things I Hate About You: In Movie Theaters
Happy Friday! If you haven't started watching Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams yet, do so immediately. That show is fire. I'm watching it right now.
Tonight's post is the second installment of 10 Things I Hate About... with Jessica. This week's theme is movie theaters.
10 Things I Hate about You: In Movie Theaters
- Talking constantly throughout the movie.
- Guessing the end of the movie throughout the movie. See Number. 1.
- Asking me what just happened because you were talking to me and not watching the movie. See Numbers 1 and 2.
- Smoking pot during the movie. I don’t care if it’s legal—it’s stinky.
- Eating crunchy food, esp. with your mouth open, and even worse, during quiet scenes.
- Coughing loudly and dramatically. Get up and leave the theater if you must.
- Trying to touch me during the movie. Don’t grab my hand, put your arm around my shoulder, or put your hand on my knee (esp. the latter-- you will get punched in the arm.).
- Getting up and sitting down throughout the movie. Please get your food/drink/go to the restroom beforehand.
- Putting your feet up on the back of the seat in front of you. It’s rude to that person, and your big-ass feet are probably partially blocking my view of the screen.
- Anything you are doing with your phone – answering it, texting on it, even having it on silent but letting it be visible so it lights up when someone tries to reach you. PUT IT AWAY OUT OF SIGHT. This goes for your Apple Watch, too! Please hide it under your sleeve or disable the light so I don’t see it out of the corner of my eye lighting up. And don’t keep checking it!
Side note: Jessica and I saw IT together in the theater a few months ago, and I think the other patrons did all of the above.
This is a nice night in. I'm going to turn my attention back to the show and the person watching it with me. I hope that you all have a lovely evening as well.
