Well today I get to cover a topic that I know others have talked about before, but it is my turn to chime in.
Last night I went to see Spiderman 3 at my local cinema. It was my wife and I and another couple. It was a Thursday night early in the evening so we showed up and we were the only people there. A little time passed and another couple showed up and sat in the very back. We were in the front of the second tier which offers the best view and sound experience in my opinion. Well it was nearly time for the movie to start and this kid and his mother came in and started to sit behind us a ways. No big deal! It was at this time though, that the child (demon spawn) decides to move. So he starts to sit right next to my wife! The entire place is virtually empty! Then he moves again on the other side of us. They finally, after moving so many times I literally lost count, sat right behind us. I knew at this point I was in for some fun.
What made it even better was right as the previews were about to start a couple came in and sat in front of us in the only seats that could possibly block the view of any other seat in the entire place. So now I have demon spawn behind me and two morons in front of me.
It doesn’t take much to see where a lack of common sense comes in here. To top it all off the kid wasn’t even there for most of the movie because he kept going back and getting more snacks and I can only assume a bathroom break or three. At the end, which turned out to be his last snack for the movie, he kept crackling the package and it was making so much noise because it was at the quiet end of the movie. (If you’ve seen the movie you know the part… tear)
So next time you’re in a movie, leave the kid, turn off the cell, sit by yourself, and SHUT UP!
