Summer Movie Tips

One of the best ways to stay cool this summer is to go to the movies. There’s lots to keep in mind when you’re going to the movies. First, you’ve got to find the perfect seat. I like to find a seat that’s somewhere in the middle. Once you’re seated, your eyes will be busy watching the movie. Your hands will be busy eating the popcorn. This leaves your legs out and looking for trouble. Do not let them bounce the person in front of you. No one deserves being kicked in their seat… except for tall people who sit in front of you. I think that tall people should be forced by law to sit in the last row. They can hang out back there with the people who bring in their own candy with the extra loud wrappers. There’s a reason that milk duds aren’t individually wrapped.

Then there are the people on dates at the movies. It’s very sweet. But when they’re sitting in front of you, and they get snuggly and they lean their heads in, they create a great wall that you cannot see around. It’s a love shield. And all you can do is hope their necks get tired, or they break up mid-movie. People on dates should sit in the back just in front of the tall people. Finally, people who talk back at the screen to warn the actors should sit in the lobby. Instead of yelling at the screen “Don’t go in there! There's a murderer behind the door,” they can warn people who can actually hear them: “Don’t buy that popcorn! It has 10,000 calories and costs 50 bucks! Don't do it!"

Well in Ellens opinion I should definately be sitting in the back. I'm tall, I bring not only my own candy, but my own meals that make lots of noise and can be very distracting, and i spend lots of time wispering to people about how much i think the movie is funny, scary, and if its bad we talk about things other then the movie. But I will continue to defy her movie watching rules and if I see her in a theatre I will infront of her, eat pickles out of a jar, and ask her whats going to happen in a really loud panicky voice, even if its a romantic comedy.

the thing that annoys me the most is when people whisper or talk loud in a movie theatre! i haven't been to the movies in a while, but the last movie i saw in theatres was "harold and kumar escape from guantanamo bay". it was in the afternoon and luckily i was the only one in the theatre! that was the best part! i usually like to go to the movies by myself because people i go with love to say things like "look at that"! or talk about the movie with each other while they're watching it! i find it more enjoyable to go by myself nowadays. i love your show!

I think the best way to stay cool is put you head in a cold bath

Ha ha..this reminds of the time I was watching a Larna Croft movie on the TV. I jumped out of my skin and my mug of tea went flying due to larna croft putting something into the microwave oven, it blew up. She was only putting a ready made meal in the oven. I am not very good with horror films. Plus I don't watch any comedy films either. I like detective films, ones with plenty of twists in them and red herrings! the more confusing the better.

I feel like a grass hopper at the moment, I am switching websites to check on Indiana and North Carolina. It is all go!! I haven't had time to read your blogs, just try and get the gist of them, then I am back on another website..must dash!!
