If you asked me, the movie was alright. I still don't get why Kristen Steward was casted as Snow White... Her expressions... JUST like the ones you see in the Twilight series. -.-
ANYWAY
There's another reason why I'm talking about this.
Everyone else will be talking about it soon, so you'll just read/hear what they have to say about it.
The reason why I'm bringing this up is because I would like to talk about people who talk DURING the movie.
Warning:
Brace yourself. Put on a raincoat
A heavy rainstorm of a bitch session about to begin.

Here's the story:
So, the trailers are playing and everything and people are still talking.. I'm a little confused because I've never seen a crowd as loud/noisy as they were that night (okay, slight exaggeration, it wasn't as loud as a party, but for a movie theatre, it was rather shocking). So I asked my friend about the noise level and was reassured that that was normal and that it'll die down when the movie begins. Little did I know, I had paid $10 for a narration of the trailers and the movie that was coming from behind me. No, it wasn't the mini me devil and angel sitting on my shoulders.. It was a couple who was literally narrating everything.

"he has a scar on his face"
NO. fucking. SHIT.
Cause really, we paid to hear you talk. So, in all courtesy, when in situations like this, you could do the obviously loud "SHHHH". Silence. For even less than ONE second. Really, woman? REALLY? So I give it a couple more seconds and the voice level INCREASES. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! With a quickly depleting patience, I turn around ad bitch stare and this occurs a couple times. STILL LOUD. It was only 1/5 through the movie, and I'm seriously becoming exhausted of the commentary. So, I took a deep breath, sucked in my tummy and despite my pounding heart (I'm starting to get super nervous now. I AM in the South, about to tell a black woman off), I turn around and say:
"Excuse me, could you please stop talking?"
Thinking she'd take it like a woman in the wrong, she excuses herself and tells me that she paid for her ticket. Which was kinda stupid and a REALLY BAD comeback because everyone in the damn cinema did too. So I make sure she became aware of it and left it at that while she goes on and calls me rude and names me the rudest person she's ever met. Then after about 30 seconds of complaining about me shutting her up, she stops talking. Eventually she starts talking again but it is inaudible. FINALLY.
People, there is a reason why the ads pre-movie tells you to TURN OFF/SILENT your phone while advising you AGAINST ANSWERING THE DAMN THING. It is because the noise BUGS people. Why would they tell you to turn off your phone if they let you talk? It is implied, aight? For you to STFU. If you wanna talk while watching a movie, GET THE DVD or book the whole fucking place. Then you can tell me about how you paid for the damn thing and I will STFU. But since you only paid for YOUR share of the public space that is the theatre, it would be so VERY MUCH appreciated if you shut your pie hole. I don't care if you're a commentator in real life, you need to put that job at home when you're at the movies. If you're reading this and you're thinking "That's me but I've never been told off", well people, you now know what to do. Cause while there are some people who can sit through your talking, some who ARE bothered are either too shy to tell you or are afraid of being attacked. But please, let this be a lesson for everyone. Please refrain from talking at the movies and if someone is talking, tell them to zip it.. Saves everyone else the trouble of straining their ears to try and listen to conversation on screen.
Kay, rant is officially over.
Have a nice day.
Love love.
