Worst behaved audience ever
Aug. 9th, 2010 11:37 amSo, as Chuckro's post notes, we saw Inception over the weekend. Quite enjoyed it, and the long walk home pontificating over implications and possibilities.
My complaint, however, were the people in the theater with us. Holy crap, worst audience I've seen in a really long time.
- There were the guys behind us, who seemed to be keeping up a running commentary. In Spanish. I don't know if one guy didn't speak English and the other guy was explaining it to him - that's what it sounded like. Because why on Earth would you try to do that with a movie like Inception? Poor second guy probably had no clue what was going on. Poor me had to listen to it.
- There was the guy next to us. Who came in and sat down an hour into the movie. What? Again, who does that with a movie like Inception? There's no way he understood what was going on, either. Also, hella disruptive.
- But not as disruptive as the group of pre-teen girls and parents directly in front of us. Who left the theater in bunches of threes or fours at least two or three times each over the course of the movie. And then, they'd all have to stand up to let people on the inside wall get in. Up and down and up and down and up and down.
- Or the girl near the front of the theater, who spent the entire movie texting on a smart phone with a big, bright white screen. Good grief, put the stupid phone away.
