Etiquette…

Ok, so I realize that my lack of posts has probably eliminated all of my readers and I guess I’m ok with that. I write copy that no one really reads for a living. I used to it. But since I have a forum to air my grievances, cause ya know it’s so hard to get a blog, I’m just going to bitch.

I went to this soft core lesbian porn movie with my sister last weekend. I know, we didn’t think Chloe was going to end up the way it did…and I’m pretty sure that everyone in the theater thought we were a couple and not related…but I digress. (no wonder no one reads my copy…) Anyway, this couple comes in a sits by me. One seat away. In a barely full theater. Which is a pet peeve. And they were noisy. And I hate that too. But the weird part was the fact that the dude (read: old dude) was wearing giant, “art director” headphones. They got settled in and about 15 minutes later the guy says, OUTLOUD…not in a whisper…Do you want to stay for this one, or try another? And with that they left the theater. Is that weird? Because I’m pretty sure it is. I’ve done this whole theater hopping thing, but I always pay for a ticket, see an entire movie, pay for another ticket (read: I have a nonexistent social life). And I’ve only walked out of one flick (read: Benjamin Button – during a sex scene nonetheless). This behavior could have been condoned if they were offended by what happened on screen, but there was no sex, no lesbianism, no affairs, no poverty or war or even a hint of Obamacare. So what gives?

Even weirder? With 15 minutes left in the movie a different couple came in, sat down and enjoyed the ending. WTF? Is this a trend I have not picked up on? It’s like reading the last chapter of a book instead of reading the whole thing (which I used to do with RL Stine books because they scared me too much).

I don’t get it.

Oh, and if you need a hot, steamy movie where 3 well known actors take little pay to ‘shock’ the audience see Chloe. Or just rent an X-rated movie and leave our sister out of it.
