Proper Movie Ediquite FUCKERS!
Current mood: annoyed

I have worked at a movie theater for 5 years now. Im a movie fan. I attend a movie at least 3 times a month when i can. So im a little irritaeted when people dont follow the proper movie ediquite. There are rules to follow fuckers! Simple, but important rules....



RULES for MOVIE GOING! (applyed to theatrical viewing)

- Have a solid idea of what your going to go see! Dont walk up to a theater and stand around for 45 minutes not knowing what your going to see. Also, have an idea of what the movie is about too before you pay to see said film.

- Know what time your movie is playing! Do NOT walk up to a ticket booth and just ASSUME that the movie your going to see is going to start in 5 mintues. Also, READ the Marquee with the times, and DO NOT ASK THE PERSON IN THE TICKET BOOTH "WHAT TIME DOSE THE MOVIE START".. You will offically be labeled a fucking retard by the entire staff of said theater.

- SHOW UP ON TIME for your movie: If its a big movie, a good half hour to 45 mintues. And thats mostly on opening day and weekends. Do not Show up 45 mintues EARLY to a film on the weekdays, or to one thats been out for a while. 15 minutes early is the exceptable time to be early for a film. Also as important, DO NOT SHOW UP MORE THAN 5 minutes late for a movie. Not all Theaters have a HALF HOUR of trailers. Which is a myth, the longest traliers run is about 15 mintues MAX now. If you show up 5 minutes past the start time, just go to the next show, or DO NOT GO AT ALL (the only, ONLY time this is exceptabel is if you have seen the movie at least Twice already) Also, if you show up over 10 mintues late for a movie, do not even bother to buy your ticket for that show. IT IS ANNOYING FOR EVERYONE for someone to come in late to a movie.

- Buy all of your snacks BEFORE the movie starts! one reason to be about 15 mintues early. Get your treates and GO SIT DOWN! Also, DO DRAIN THE LIZARD BEFORE YOU SIT down. Getting up and down is annoying to everyone.

- Do not BRING any child under the age of 8 to an adult film. EVEN IF ITS PG-13. Kids under that age are not going to understand a DAMN thing going on unless its an animated or childs film. BABIES are an ABSOLUTE NO! If you cant find a fucking sitter, you cannot leave your house with your child because you want to go watch a nice film for a couple of hours. If you do, CHILD SERVESIS will be called on your ass!

- Do NOT lie about your childs age to save $1.50 on the evening prices. All your doing is teaching your kid to be is dishonest. And your a horrible person for doing so.

- DO NOT SNEAK IN FOOD for the love of jesus. Im sorry, but if you want a beer or a stake or a hamburger or something else besides NACHOS, a Pretzel or popcorn, There are theaters around that do serve that type of shit for your movie experiance, but they are a drive, so unless your willing to to that far, do not bring in your stinky food. Your pissed that they dont serve coffee, GO RENT A FUCKING MOVIE and get your starbucks fix somewere else. A theater is not a fucking resturant.

- DO NOT TALK DURING A FILM! on a cell phone, to your friend, to your self. making MST3K cracks druing a film is only funny if its just you and your buds in a movie by yourselves. NO ONE ELSE WANTS TO +HEAR YOUR SHIT! Cell phone users will be beheaded.

- Do not go to a movie to make out with your significant other. No on wants to see your pre teen ass or anything else playing sucky face. Its dark in a theater, but not that dark. If you want to make out with out anyone watching, go to a fucking park at night and do it there.

- DO NOT DROP YOUR UNDERAGE KIDS OFF BY THEMSELVES to go see a movie! This is the same thing as bringing a baby to a movie. If your fucking kids are too much for you, get a fucking sitter and go out. A movie theater is NOT A FREE BABY SITTER! Giving them $50 and dumping them off with no prental supervison for a couple of hours makes you a HORRIBLE person and you should be shot and your kids hung for being assholes.

- PICK YOUR SHIT UP as you leave. A movie theater is not you house, and you have no RIGHT to trash it as so. Would you like it if someone came to yourhouse, threw gummy bears at your TV, spilled coke everywere, dumped popocorn on the floor and just took off. Hell then came back to complain about how messy your place is? Dont think so. Jsut because someone else has to clean up, dosnt give you the right to be a pig.

- Last, THEATERS arnt cheep now. Do not bitch about the prices of the tickets (even though they are high) and do not bitch that you can get a thing of red vines for half the price at the store. A theater is not a store, they make money on the concessions, YOU DONT WANT TO PAY FOR what they're selling, THEN DONT BUY IT!



Just follow these simple rules and be kind and allow others around you to enjoy the movie...GOOD or not.

I still hold this as true!
