We tried to attend a movie at Rave Motion Pictures last night. We love the theatre, have been big fans since it opened. But last night we had to walk out. Was it the fault of the theatre? Of course not, it was the fault of the inconsiderate, arrogant, asinine women (mother and daughter) behind us. They sat quietly through the previews, then, as soon as the actual show started, they began to talk. Loudly. Mostly the daughter. So I turned around and gave them a glance. No words, just a glance. The talking persisted, and actually got louder. Plus, they added the lovely little noise of crumpling paper into the situation. You know, like reaching into a bag of candy. Except it went on…non stop. Non. Stop. She was doing it on purpose. Diane turned around, again, no words, just a look. The sound got louder. So we got up and walked out.
We asked if we could attend a later showtime for the same movie, and explained our problem. The manager was the greatest, and he had another showing of the same movie in 25 minutes, which he told us to attend. He then went inside the theatre we came from, hopefully to shut the two bee-yatches up.
So here’s my idea. Instead of “Please Be Quiet” signs flashed on the screen prior to showtime, how about this slide:
