Movie Theater Idiots

Rachel & I went to see Pirates of The Caribbean 3 tonight and it was good but Pirates 2 was better! Anyway that isn't the point.

Rachel & I haven't seen a movie recently and decided to see a 6:30pm showing since I got home from work earlier than normal. We rush over to the Marina Del Rey Regal Cinemas and walk up to the ticket counter. "Two for the 6:30pm Pirates please" the guy looks at us and says "just so you know this showing is closed caption for the deaf so there will be subtitles at the bottom of the screen for the entire movie". Perfect I can read "arrrr", "cannon fires", etc. No thanks, we will wait for the 7:00pm showing.

Off to Koo Koo Roo for dinner....

Back from dinner and a bag of Twizzlers in my hand we walk into theater 1. I didn't expect a crowd seeing as it was a Wednesday evening showing. Rachel and I were number 4 & 5 in the theater and sat near the middle but on the isle so I could put my feet up & stretch. Before we know it, another couple comes in and sits right in front of us even with 90% of the seats still empty. They did see my feet up and noticed that I wasn't moving so they sat one over from the isle. It wasn't really in front of me but it screwed Rachel out of a foot rest for a 2 hour and 45 minute movie. Next, the large, loud, popcorn woman rumbles down the isle. Guess where she sat..... Right f$%#'n behind me! Starting to get annoyed. Then we hear "What time does this movie start" yelled from a retarded father and son that walk in at 7:00pm (right when the movie should be starting). He then says "7:10pm right on time". Hey dumbass when you bought your ticket didn't you say "2 for the 7:00pm Pirates". They proceed to walk by us and say hello the to asshole that sat in front of us. Go figure!

The trailers starts to roll, guess what... In stroll 5 people with 3 of them wearing pirate costumes and holding plastic pistols. They are obviously drunk/high and laughing at everything. They decide to sit directly across the isle from ME! What could get worse you might ask? Well from the moment the trailers start to roll the center ceiling speaker has a loud hummm that can be heard at all times. I am about to walk out and complain but decide to bit my tongue and see what happens when the actual movie starts. Glad I did as the hmmmm faded at the end of the ads.

About 1 hour into the movie the retarded father and son decide to walk up to our front neighbors and say goodbye. I guess they liked Pirates 2 better but what a waste of $30 (they bought popcorn and a soda). I figure they snuck into the this movie after seeing Spiderman 3 and decided it was a good place to eat their dinner.

Thank god the issues ended and the movie continued without further incidents. Long lines and big crowds on opening weekend doesn't sound that bad after this.
