Anonymous11There’s really something to leaving your paying customers wishing you would have just at least used a dab of KY lubricant on them before the screw job.
I prefer my own company to that of a bunch of morons, making noise, smelling and moving.
So I watch the movie s I prefer at home, btw, my all time favourite (usually surprises people), Rob Roy, the acting is good but it’s the no nonsense script that made it for me.
SkidMark:
When I saw Jurassic Park for the first time, it was at a second-run house during the year-end holidays. Big mistake.
The movie had been played up in the news as being scary, as if it was as frightening as a horror movie. I’m sure much of the audience did as well. The place was packed with teenyboppers and the stupid girls in the crowd shrieked at anything that was remotely suspenseful, ruining the movie for me. I left the cinema greatly disappointed, though, because of where it was shown, I didn’t spend too much money on the ticket.
Several years later, I gave the movie another chance, something that I often do, just to make sure that my first impression might have been wrong. As it turned out, it wasn’t as bad as I first thought. I took a liking to it through subsequent viewings and now I own a boxed set of the first 3 movies. (I shudder to think what the new one will be like.)
The thing is that, if I see a movie by myself, I might actually have a chance to properly assess it and, maybe, enjoy it. With those idiot brats screaming when I first saw it, I had a completely wrong impression of it. (I learned my lesson after ruining a movie for some grad student buddies several years earlier. I’d seen it before and I gave away the funny bits by laughing too early.) It might be different if I watched a flick with someone who is also a movie fan and we could make our comments to each other as fellow film buffs.

This tends to be my experience as well. The only person I really could watch movies with was my old roommate, who is aspiring to be a writer/director now and knew how to respect the form.
By the way, what is it about women and their inability to hold questions in until the end of the movie?
I love going to the cinema and I agree with this. In fact, after I am done with my studies and can afford to have my own place with home theater in it, I would stop going to cinema altogether.
