Going to the movies

Ugh, I had an obnoxious babbler behind me one time at a movie theater watchign The Good Son. The theater was packed so I had no choice where to sit. I was ther at a good hour so I had some good choices for seats. These teenagers sat behind me and started talking. One of their friends was next to me. She was fairly quiet through the movie which was ok, but the girls behind me just would not stop talking out loud. I kept turning around shushing them. They would just roll their eyes and continue talking. I even asked the girl next to me if she could ask her friends to whisper at least cause it's hard to concentrate on the movie. I said it very nicely too! The girl turned to her friends and asked them as I had, but that only seemed to help for a second. I started getting my chair kicked on top of the talking. I finally had it. I shushed them now 5 times along with some annoyed looks and a very nice request from both me and their friend sitting next to me. I turned and told them to be quiet out loud and fairly irritated. The whole theater turned around and started shushing. I have no idea if they were shushing me or all of us, but gah I was so ticked off. I also didn't want to report them cause they seemed like spoiled bitchy girls that would have started something outside as it was late and in New York City where trouble lives.
 
You should have stood up, turned around, and told them to, "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" I have very little tolerance for these types of people. They have no respect for others.

I agree with Farceur though. This series appeals to a large majority of the female population, which in my opinion is brilliant for making money. The books are terribly written. Even Steven King said as much.
 
Farceur, I specifically said that this topic was not to diss Twilight. If you want to do that, take it to a different thread.

Bauber, I don't take a word Steven King says seriously. You want to talk about dribble.

Anyway, Bitch, that is exactly why I didn't report these girls. I don't know what they would have done, but I am certain that some shit would have hit the fan. It's not that hard to watch a movie in the theater. Sit down, shut up, and keep your everything to yourself. What is so freakin hard about that?
 
To be fair, you are talking about the Twilight movie. I'm sure you wouldn't have had a problem with someone coming into the thread and going "SQUEE! I LOVE SHINY VAMPIRES!", so Farceur's astute observation as to the quality of the book series should likewise be more than welcomed.

If you wanted to talk about movie going behavior alone, i wouldn't have even bothered in mentioning what movie you saw, and instead talked just about the movie going experience alone. I mean really though, what'd you expect? It's a story for pubescent girls to get all hot and bothered about. It's not like a whole crowd of em on the opening night were going to be perfect little darlings.

And about Stephen King being dribble, i've only got one thing to say;

Salem's Lot > Shiny emo vampires

Yep.

Then you dump your soda on them.

Then you call the police and say that you dumped your soda on them to escape them because you were scared of them.
 
My criticism was hardly unfair. In fact, I think it was more generous than most criticisms. It's simply a matter of fact that Meyers prose, and the ability to develop her characters is, in Twilight at least, amateurish.

She writes these books in a style similar to most erotic fiction. This is a style that anyone with a vague notion of how the English Language works should be able to replicate with relative ease.

I'm not saying OMG THIS SERIES IS GAYZORS, AND THESE VAMPIRES AREN;T REAL VAMPIRES ZOMG. I'm just being realistic here. She's certainly not Charles Dickens. Hell, she can't even compete with other "pop culture authors" like Tom Clancy, Stephen King, or John Grisham as far as basic literary talent goes.

But, she is providing a place for women to negotiate their sexuality without fear of criticism. For that, I say all the more power to her.
 
Blah, I'm sorry to hear you had such a bad time.

I had never read the Lord of the Rings books, and when I went to see the third movie the jerks behind me were kicking my seat and talking about what was going to happen next, and next, and how they were gonna get off the mountain, and blah blah blah.

It wasn't fair D:
 
Stephen King is my hero. He's the closest thing to a god that there is on earth. Everything he says is holy. Every word.

Lowmen would fuck Edwards shit right up.

I'm sorry, but vampires that SPARKLE in SUNLIGHT????????????

Bunnicula is scarier than Edward.

And yes, kids suck ass. Next time, take a squirt gun filled with hot sauce and squirt their mouths!

I'm sorry, but I don't get NOT telling someone off out of fear of retaliation. I'm not all that bad ass, but I'm not going to keep my mouth shut.

Also, if you go to a movie written for teens you are going to have to deal with a lot of teens. My daughter loves Twighlight. I'd rather her like a real vampire, like Lestat, or Dracula (OG Stoker) than some pussy whining shiny punk ass. Sadly I will have to go watch this movie with my daughter because I promised her. I'd rather pull out my pinky finger nail than watch a crappy script to a literary fiasco, but she made me promise. If I have to put up with a shit ton of loud, rude, obnoxious teenagers, I will tell them off. Then I will tell their parents off. And if they retaliate, well then they will go to jail and I'll laugh my ass off.
 
I never said it was. I said it was misplaced.

I only mentioned which movie I went to because had I left that out, everyone would have asked what movie I saw. I like twilight. I've had to listen to people putting it down for years. I really don't care to see it in a thread that is not about twilight itself. It's about the outrageous behavior that was allowed in a movie theater.
 
I know what you are saying. However, in NYC when people get pissed retaliation is not just a few fuck-offs you pussy bitch or something to that matter. it often includes a black eyes and a broken limb. 7 loud-mouth punkettes and me with one friend is not an equal match if these girlies were to start somethign afterwards. In the city, no one gives a crap if you get beat up over stupid shit like talking too loud in a theater.

Also back then. I was still little miss shy girl. I don't like starting something that makes my life too much more difficult even if I had the right to. Nowadays, I may say something, but it's a mood thing at this point.

DG, girls like twilight cause it enhances the romanticism of vampires. To many girls, Edwards (whatever that vampire dude's name is) is eye candy and dream material for later. The vampire in Bram Stoker's Dracula is, although romantic in one way, he's creepy and not eye candy. One may say he's more realistic in that way...creepy romantic. He's a blood sucker, manipulative, and conniving. Edwards is a high school student that looks like the outcast hottie that girls drool over from a distance. That's why your daughter feels the need to watch. To older women, it's still the romantic desires that some women enjoy....kind of like a romantic novel....cheap thrills as well as dream material. ...More aimed towards the sexual desires and romance than eye candy and drooling over the hot goth-jock that younger girls watch for.

Ok, off topic. It's late and I analyze and discuss EVERYTHING when I'm tired.
 
LOL

New York is dumb.
Girls are dumb.
Vampires that sparkle and don't drink human blood are dumb.

I win!

;)

I've never been to New York. Which I think is why I've never been in a similar situation as this. So its easy for me to say that I'd smack a bitch up.
 
I sat next to a girl that had to have been early 20s.

During the scene in the trailer in which Bella cuts her finger, she loudly said

"OH THEY GON' TEAR HER UP."

Later she kept audibly telling Jacob he should kiss Bella, said "damn" out loud a few times when Edward later gets his ass kicked, and then proceeded to talk to her friend WHO WAS SITTING IN FRONT OF HER for the last 20 minutes.

Good thing it wasn't a movie I really really wanted to see, or I'd have been livid.

Basically, I sat next to a stereotype.
