King Kong - Or why I'm done with the Theater

Alrighty then. So I've been sick the ENTIRE weekend, and we finally decided to go out today. We finally went to go see King Kong. Don't ask, I still haven't seen it.

We sat there for a whole hour waiting for people to shut the hell up. Kid behind us?? Whispering. Parents of kid sitting to the left and right?? Whispering. People to the right? Whispering.

I was convinced there was a problem with the sound system thanks to all the hissing going on.. nope, just people who decided the theater was the best place to have their HOUR LONG DISSERTATION on the movie that was ON THE SCREEN AT THE TIME.

When did we get to this point?? When did people stop going to a movie to watch the damn movie?? I've been going to movies less and less frequently for exactly this reason, and today is the first time i've walked out, gotten a refund for my tickets, and gone home.

I swear, I sat there for an hour, and I couldn't pay attention to any of the dialog. I could tell you a story outline, but I have seen the original Kong, and most of it would be from that.

From now on, my theater money is going towards my home theater, and I'll be watching movies in peace. Am I the only one having this problem??

NO! You're not!!! Preach on brotha!!! (er, Broth-ER - heh)

But can I come over and watch movies at your house too? b/c your system will always be infinitely better than mine. I know this to be true.

Oh, and when you are a knitter, you're not a 'seamstress'. Just sayin'.

I prefer 'lady knitter'. :~p
