MOVIE HORROR STORIESby Felix V. I make it a habit to go to a movie I want to see a week after because: A. I want to avoid the crowds, and B. The theater is usually empty around the week after. I also make it a case to watch the matinee because it's less money and it avoids the crowds. Well, on this Sunday morning, I made it a case to see X2 (Don't know if you've seen it) which I eagerly anticipated, being a comic book geek, and as a first bad sign, there was a long line; unusual for a Sunday. My horror story actually began when I sat in the middle of an empty row, and a large black family decides to gather and sit around me. Little did I know what I was in for. The entire time the kids spent the movie "oohing" and "ahhing" very loudly at the sights of the superheroes, and the father would pass around a noisy bag of candy, and then, to make the experience even worse, the mom (sitting next to me), obviously not versed in comics, spent the entire time asking about the origins of the characters: "Why do claws come out of his hand? Why is he called "Magneto"? Why is that girl turning into different people? Why is he called Nightcrawler? Why's his skin blue? What does the X stand for in Professor X?" After about an hour of her endless questions, and her children explaining, I was so desperate to focus on the movie, I was about ready to pay these people off to shut up out of desperation. But then I was taken by surprise, when in the midst of the bagged candy passing; they kindly offered me some candy as if I was their guest. Boy, not only was it a pure horror story, but in the end they made *ME* feel guilty. One of the worst movie experiences ever. Johnny: There needs to be movie theaters that are designed in a similar fashion to restaurants in regard to seating. Have booths big enough for however many people are in your party so that you can have some privacy. Boy that would be nice. Moral of the Story: If you're the type of person who wants every facet of a movie explained to you while the movie is playing, then wait for the DVD. For once, think of somebody else's feelings. Send your stories to me and let the whole world know just how dangerous going to the movies can be. |
