So I go to see War of the Worlds with my dad. It's about 6:40 and the movie begins. Everyone understands this is a serious movie, but there are a few good laughs thrown in.

Except two people sitting in front of us.

It's hard to enjoy a movie when Mr. and Mrs. Giggles are laughing their asses off at human suffering. People dying is not funny.


If anyone has read the book, they would know that the dieseases and viruses we've built an immunity to killed the aliens. This is even clearly explained at the end of the film! However, they do not understand. They don't get the freaking concept. Plus, it's too boring. There are no explosions involved.

And at the end, when the family reunites and Rob survives and in fact meets them in Boston?

HAHAHAHA! THAT'S FUNNY CAUSE THE LITTLE GIRL.... RAN AND STUFF!


So please, next time you go to a movie, don't act retarded. For the love of god don't.



Penis... Hehehehe.

You should've thrown your drink at them, that'll shut them up.

"Excuse me. Will the two clowns at the front shut up? Thank you!"

The bad thing about places open to the general public is that the general public also includes people who ruin other people's movie experience. Like a friend of mine who invites himself on movies I go to and keeps making "smart little quips" about the movie all the way through. Loud enough for me to pretend he is just some random guy I never have met in my entire life. Anyway, my point is that movies are better on the TV in your living room, because you can throw annoying people out that way.

"Pardon me, but there are two condoms and a hotel room in it for you if you shut up"

"Pardon me, but there are two condoms and a hotel room in it for you if you shut up"

Lol!!

Just bring a collapsable beating stick. Then you ask them to shut the fuck up... Nicely, of course. If they don't, it's smackdown time.

Go to Thursday matinees, like I do. I went to Batman this afternoon, and there were no more than 20 people in the theater. We had a whole section to ourselves.

Lol, I got a better one.
When my girlfreind and I went to see "Freddy Versus Jason" in theatres, there was the fat little, abnoxious kid with his parents 2 rows ahead of us.
This kid spent the first bit of the movie loudly complaining that the movie sucked, or argueing with his parents when they said they could go see another movie, because he wanted to see this one. And he didn't do it quietly either.
Then the viloence began, and the poor kid broke into tears. Half way through the movie the kid pissed himself, and finally they left. By that time though, I was about ready to do worse things to the kid then was in the movie. My girlfreind and I hate being interupted when we laugh at gore.

How did they ruin it? It's already a bad movie.

man i hate that. fuckin chavs round here do it all the time :mad:

they should ban popcorn in movies, too. who's with me?

You could've said "SPOILER ALERT," but noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

I've never understood why people would pay $10 to talk to each other or make out. You can do either for free in the car and you won't bother anyone else.

Angers the hell out of me because I sure as fuck didn't pay $10 to listen to someone yak on the cell phone or moan and slobber all over their g/f.

My friend and I had Revenge of the Sith (Best movie ever, might I add) to ourselves tonight.

You're a funny little person. Ever seen "The Empire Strikes Back"?

First, as has been pointed out-a little spoiler alert courtesy wouldn't be too much to ask...sheesh. See, I even did one for you.

Second-The kids from the special school have to see movies just like the rest of us. You get a sense for when the counslers take the kids in and go different times. Or look for the short bus out front. And really, you shouldn't call them 'retards.'

That was funnier in my head. Sorry.....

My friend and I had Revenge of the Sith (Best movie ever, might I add) to ourselves tonight.you had the full teather to yourselves...or did you get the screener DVD?

The full theater.

Ahh the dilemma of forsaking the community experience or enduring the public.

I've always had pretty good luck with wispering the line, "I've got to start bringing my gun into the theater" when people are too talky or with cell phone.

But I rarely have a problem, maybe once every couple of years seeing about 50 movies a year.

But there's also an upside to it too. In one showing of Princess Mononoke when said character is attacking iron town one little girl just blurted out, "I want to be a Wolf Princess!!" Her mother was mortified, but everyone there seemed amused, and here I am relating the story.

Hell, the only time I even had the stereotypical urban youth problem was during a showing of the god awful Ali biopic (how they made such an iconic and otherwise interesting 20th century figure so FUCKING boring (big props to Jamie Foxx's performance though) will mystify generations of filmschool students to come). Between the film (which put *everyone* I went to see it with asleep) and the two groups trading barbs across the theater, the kids were doing the entertaining.

Well, maybe about what happens to the kid I would understand it, although it's such a typical hollywood ending that you can see it coming from miles and miles away.

About how the aliens are "defeated", I just can't understand how there can be anyone who doesn't know how "War of the Worlds" ends. It's such a seminal book. I think I've known the story since I was six.

I've never read it.


(Though I know how it ends)

One time, I went to go see Boogeyman.(bad movie :mad: )

Anyway, we were about halfway through the movie, and they are doing a close up of Barry Watson; and some kid yells, "Go back to Seventh heaven".

I thought that was the best part of the movie, except for the end, when I got to go home.

I've never read it.


(Though I know how it ends)
That's what I mean. Even though one may not have read it, the story is such a cultural icon that knowing it has become almost genetic. Like "she loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah."

The fact that they were sitting in front of you eliminates your best weapon (because milk duds aren't effective at close range), but there are many other things you can whisper to yourself. My personal favorite is:
"Now then, which pocket is it that the knife is in. It should take me at least 5 seconds to find it, plenty of time for two idiots to shut the fuck up."

How about: "If these guys had seen my record, they've would've shut the fuck up when they walked in."

"Man I hate people who talk in the theater...which reminds me, sweetie, what vehicle did I leave my shotgun in again? And do you want anything from the concession stand while I'm in the lobby?"

I Am Sorry About The Spolier Lol I Will Fix It Right Away Lawl Watch Me Goez!

It's hard to enjoy a movie when Mr. and Mrs. Giggles are laughing their asses off at human suffering. People dying is not funny.

You have to realize, some movies are so bad, that you cant not laugh at them. I was the same way with Spiderman 2, and the Yugioh movie(long story, really long). I couldnt help but snicker at many serious parts.

the Yugioh movie(long story, really long).

Explain. NOW.

The only time I have been a smartass in the cinema was during "Titanic", which my dad had brought me to see.

I spent the entire session laughing inappropriately and making fun of the movie, but I think in this case, it was warrented.

Falhaar did the right thing. There are times when it IS appropriate to laugh at other peoples hard works.

Explain. NOW.

Me and my friends wanted to sneak into a movie, and jumped into it without realizing... We had some fun, mostly laughing at it.

Ok, not a long story...

The bad thing about places open to the general public is that the general public also includes people who ruin other people's movie experience. Like a friend of mine who invites himself on movies I go to and keeps making "smart little quips" about the movie all the way through.

Anyway, my point is that movies are better on the TV in your living room, because you can throw annoying people out that way.

Or just plain not invite them.

Believe me people, myself and my friends hate retards who do that just as much as anyone no longer in high school. If there's one thing which will guarantee violence of an evening, it's morons in movies.

Interesting. The movie industry wonders why people do not come to theatres anymore. Stuff like this happens all the time, plus the high ticket prices and they still wonder. lol

Penis... Hehehehe.
I just had to look XD

You mean an ASP baton like these? I love those things.

They are wonderful.

I left mine in my old car when I sold it. Still haven't gotten around to replacing it.

They arent cheap.

I have a great cigar holder-an 8" cylinder made out machined steel. Of course, it doesnt extend, but for pressure points, its excellent. Especially when its holding a double churchill too.

CTN - These kids could've very well NOT been from the "special" school, and could've just been labelled that for acting like really stupid high school kids because that's what they do. If they were from the "special" school, wouldn't they have likely been supervised?

People dying is not funny.
What do you mean by that? A lot of highly amusing films and books have people dying in funny scenes. In fact death is one of the most entertaining subjects there is.

you had the full teather to yourselves...or did you get the screener DVD?


I have the screener and have twice been lulled to sleep by the dumbness and insincerity of this film. I imagine it eventually does end, but I've given up on caring how.

I remember when the first Jurassic Park hit the theater.

The room was filled with little kids who brought there little plastic dinosaur thinking it was a family movie.

The real show happened at the end of the movie when you could see all of them getting out totally traumatized.
